900 on Epic
1000 on Marathon
and I think 700 on Normal.

Have yet to play a quick game, so not sure on that one.

MagisterCultuum · Mar 12, 2007, 07:00 PM

I never allow a time victory, so I have no idea.

coko · Mar 12, 2007, 07:53 PM

Well from Vanilla it is 320 for quick...any different?

And isn't it 1200 for Marathon?

GrandSultan · Mar 12, 2007, 09:41 PM

I know epic is 900, and I know Marathon is at least 1000, but I think its pretty close to 1000.

I only play Marathon, and I am quite sure it is 1800 turns

I agree. Marathon games end in yr. 1801.

BTW, how are you doing with your Marathon games in Fire? I have not been able to play with the counter moving too fast IMO for that slow speed and have gone to Epic speed.

thanks for the response, does anybody know the round number of a quick game?

Jean Elcard · Mar 13, 2007, 09:15 AM

I've taken a look for you at the CIV4GameSpeedInfo.xml file of the ffh2 mod:

Marathon: 1800
Epic: 990
Normal: 690
Quick: 480

Thank you Jean Elcard! Wuah, a marathon game truely takes forever. How many hours do you marathon players to complete one game?

Horacio · Mar 14, 2007, 12:28 AM

@ Sarisin

You are right, the counter is rising incredibly fast in Marathon games.
If I did not rush for Pact of the Nilhorn and adequately promote the Hill Giants, the Riders of the Apocalypse would crush me like a bug without even noticing I was there.

Sarisin · Mar 14, 2007, 03:18 AM

It's a shame. While I really enjoy Fire a lot, it has taken my favorite two settings out of play: Marathon and Raging Barbs.

It's OK as you just modify your game and play with what you have.

I still haven't heard from anyone who has been able to play Fire on these two settings.

Yes, I am usually playing two games simultaneously at different settings. My Marathon game usually take about 24 hours to complete - often ending in a Time Victory, which really lasts a long time. Often I enjoy letting it go on to see the various techs, wonders, units, etc. you don't get until later in the Marathon games.

But, for now, I am playing Epic/No raging barbs, but agressive AI to spice things up a bit.

I rush for the Three Stooges especially when playing the elves more for their bombarding skill than their strength. I am surprised they were able to stand up to any of the Horsemen. They must have really had Courage for that.

Also, I think the new version of the Stooges is weaker as I reported in the bug thread.
