Age Length

[Canadian Bluebeer]

I've just abandoned this attempt, only 200 turns in we've hit the 70% age mark already and the crisis has started! Everything takes three times as long to build but we're not getting three times the turns. Partly as 3 civs have been eliminated (2 by me lol) which pushes the counter dramatically. I think tomorrow I'll try Marathon without crises and see how that goes.

It plays a little better with crisis off. There just seems to be "something wrong" with marathon. It doesn't feel like marathon speed.
(building stuff yes, the rest? no.)

I've only played one Age in one game with the Age length set to long, and I didn't notice any difference.

Standard era seems too fast and long era seems too long. I had a total of four wildcard attributes from future civic/tech on long era speed and was just hitting the button to get to the end of the era. Granted, that was back when I was playing either governor, or viceroy difficulty. Still, I'll probably go back to playing long eras because I like building up my empire more.

That was my conclusion as well, current game, Epic with long ages is going at a good pace, maybe because I haven't killed anyone yet lol.
