Hi all, just wondering what speed is recommended for this mod/map - I started a marathon game and saw that Agriculture was going to take me 50 turns :eek:

Was the turn limit in the game removed, or...?

Well. I always thought research should take that kind of time to complete in marathon games. Should it not?

Perhaps, but Marathon research is already so slow that the game is very weighted in favor of military action (units are produced WAY faster than the rest of the game progresses, so a military-driven victory is simple for the player) and with even slower tech progression, that just adds to it.

That may or may not be an issue, but just something to be aware of.

I think the slow speed is excellent. Military was historically always a question of maintanance, not production speed. So you can really optimize your army size! So thanks Genghis_Kai for including an option for players like me.

And if you don't like it, just play faster. ;)
