Speed Civ? Maybe no more big epic long games. Well perhaps if the maps are big enough there still could be.

Sorry about the comments. I was hoping at least for more solid info and we got some tangential information on multiplayer.

Hmm? What was said exactly (or approximately)?

Well exactly that by the presenter, and Ed's reply was that you would be unlikely to finish a game in under an hour, but in under 2hrs. This as a design element to more suit multiplayer where 5 to 6 hr's being considered too long.

Some of this could be considered as just for multiplayer I suppose, however there was mention that it will be (can't remember the exact wording) higher in tempo gameplay.
Looking at the gameplay also suggest that. For a lot of things like building roads etc. it could be good thing though. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. I just hope the sense of achievement is not lost too much if things are too quick.

In another interview today, Ed mentioned there'd be the shorter game options in multiplayer in addition to the regular multiplayer game options like from Civ V. So, I'd guess he was talking specifically about multiplayer again.

But if that is also an option in single player, that would be new information.

This could be for fast speed and small maps. The time more or less fits Civ5 with the same options.

Yes, I would imagine 6 will have all the set up options 5 has, give or take a bit.
I do have the impression that gameplay in general will be higher tempo.

Maybe things will scale to map size too, but we don't know anything about map options yet, other than taking an educated guess that will have similar to 5, give or take a bit.
