Number of turns per year?

**alex9337** · 08-22-2007, 20:34

I have already read some discussion on this in other threads, but I was interested in knowing what the actual turn count will be, officially.

I assume no one has officially announced how many turns will be programmed into the game mechanics, but my guess would be 2 turns per year, giving a total number of approximately 240 turns for the game.

I was hoping for much more. My preference would be 4 turns per year, one for each season.

Your thoughts?

I can see it being four turns per year to be totally honest with you alex9337 with maybe more than one starting date, though I don't think we will find out for sometime.

At this point I'm thinking either four or two turns per year. I'm certainly hoping for the former, as we haven't had that in a while and it's nice to only have one or two faction leaders for an entire campaign.

I agree with the 4 turns per year. After all, most of the game will happens between centuries XVIII and XIX i guess, and since you will probably need more turns to finish a long campaign (at such time you should be able to access to all parts of the world), 4 turns per year is quite possible. Also, i always found a bit stupid that my armies need more then 10 years to cross, for example, the Iberian Peninsula (with 2 years per turn)... 1 turn per season seems quite good to me.

I hope it's four since the game will only last a little over a hundred years.

I'm hoping for 4 turns per year. Hey, I'm used to EB. But, hey, think: 120 years times 4 seasons equals 480 turns. That's already pretty much.
Of course, I've gotten used to 2 turn per year thanks to Deus Lo Vult. And that's less time: 240 turns to win.
Both are okay. One gives more realism, the other moves the campaign faster. In any case, it'll probably be moddable, so...
