12-Person MP game length?

[MAGZine]

Hi guys,


I'm setting up a Huge Civ V game at one of the gaming communities I visit, and I was just curious if anyone had a best-guess on how long it takes to complete a game? Obviously not everyone will play right to the end, but a best-guess is good. I was thinking around 12 hours on quick, but am not too sure.

We plan on scheduling breaks so that we can minimize time-between-turns from people getting up and leaving their desk mid-game.

e: awesome. Just realized that there is a 'multiplayer' forum, which this may be better suited for. Sorry!

12 hours seems fair

Good luck finishing!

Good luck even getting a 12 person game going, with the stability issues of Civ5 anything more than 6 players is being very optimistic.

We have tried this at NO QUITTERS 1 time..i think it will work if you are a patient guy.. It sound like very much fun..Maybe you want to try it out at NQ,..gg

If u want end a game with 11 AIs, why not just start a game with 11 ais?

yeah nice idea, but unless its a pangea or skirmish a conts map will be 2 x small pangs etc... best just to play 6, you get enough complexity in diplo from that. try nq

I have an idea...if we host a huge map and full it upp with players...then when all are inn and green we change the map size 2 standard...

We can then turn off CS and play standard map with 12 - 10 players--- or maybe we can have 4 CS or more...

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK:::))))ANY IDEAS...

Which time zone will this game be hosted?
