i would like even more time expansion in the more modern eras. i play on epic to try and balance this but i still find tech sometimes obsoletes a unit type before i even make one of them. going to months from years isnt enough once you get infantry and begin to get artillery and tanks of any kind. really at that point u need to go to weeks of the year OR increase the minimum time to develop the next kind of weapon. i want to use those landships before they become tanks. or tanks before modern armor. as it is, i mainly spend time trying to upgrade the important units because tech advances too quickly to use them in combat, late on. since i brought up the pace of development, shouldnt it be faster for weapons tech in wars between two opponents with similar tech levels? development of ships and weapons and tanks was accelerated by the world wars as each side strove to gain advantage or negate the others in order to win or just survive. i know this contradicts what i have said so if i had to pick i would prefer the time to go to weeks from months to give more turns to development and a chance to not just develop but build and use some landships, rather than just finish a few then pay out to upgrade them.
