How many turns are your new games taking

[Civsassin]

It may just be that I am taking more time to learn the new game mechanics and victory conditions, but my first two games have taken me into the 400+ turns. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

 

[Bagi]

Games are definitely longer now. I think they made end-game techs take more beakers, I was producing almost 1500 yet it still felt really slow.

 

[Thuellai]

Definitely a little slower.

I had one tense game go all the way to 498.

 

[Rick80]

Me too I need more turns to finish a game.

 

[Civsassin]

I am an experienced Immortal level player, so I didn't think it was just me. It may come back down once some of the CiV zen masters analyze and refine the strategies a bit.

 

[teqofc]

My first complete game which was today was 451 turns. It takes a long time for things to develop.

All played on emperor:

Portugal on large continents - diplo in 338
Poland on standard panagea - cultural in 333
Morocco on standard pangaea - domination in 313

400+ for me in each game.

Did you focus on particular victory conditions early on?

Game is alot deeper now, and long term strategies more rewarding when the game last longer. Finally...and I like it!
One of the things I disliked about Civ5 was that it used so few turns to acchieve a victory, finally we are closer to the max turn limits now, before we win.

Not really. The only game I decided which victory before about turn 200 was as Morocco. Even then though, things could've been planned out quite a bit better.

That's interesting. My first two games have taken me into the 400 turn range. Pre BNW, my casual games were in the 300-350 range. You must be becoming familiar with the game mechanics more quickly. Good job.

I got a culture VC around turn 320.

On King.

As Sweden.

With a capital in the middle of three salt.

 

[PhilBowles]

I just finished a very long game which ended right at 2050 - not sure if they used to do this, but the 21st Century turns are 6 months rather than a year, which lengthens the end game.

When you comment on what turn you have won on it makes little sense if you don't also mention what game speed you are using....... Ibut I have a feeling it was normal speed.

I did do a few "dry runs," that only lasted 100 or so turns, these were just the games I actually completed. I confess my Poland game was mostly a lucky start (plenty of salt), I was sort of trying for a cultural win as Portugal too but when I looked at my tourism it would've taken an eternity so I just said screw it.

normal, yes.

My finish times so far: (all on Emperor standard continents to learn the game)

Poland, Culture, 305 turns (Liberty, Piety, religious building spam with 2 tourism each, 6 cities, first influential status on turn 132 ^^)

Assyria, Domination, 332 turns (made quite a few mistakes and had bad luck with free techs)

Shoshone, Domination, 274 turns (perfect map for Shoshone, Tradition with internal food trades, Piety reformation +33% on CSs, Patronage, Order ... massive rush with 20 Commanche Riders plus artillery )

 

[Fooliscious]

I'm doing a king/epic as the Shoshone. I'm on turn 611, July 1980. I'm really not close to any victory, one tech into info era, and only influential with 2 civs. This game is definitely dragging on a loooooong time. I have an absurd amount of gold as well, with only 4-5 cities, pushing 600 a turn. Trade routes should really not be affected by banks/stocks etc.

 

[MantaRevan]

I think it's slower than it needs to be. Honestly, I played my first BNW game on epic because I wanted more time to take in the new features, but Jesus, it's so slow that it's painful.
