This just shows how personal experience can give you view on the game. I play more multiplayer than anything else. Dont get me wrong i still love to play the AI. If theres not enough players to fill the slots we always fill it up with the AI. Then again maybe im lucky beacuse most of the people i play online aginst i actually know personally so that might make it different. But on the flip side not all of them. The games themselves can last anything upto 20 hours. But the 4-6 mark is more common. Ive only ever been in 2 quick games and that was probably because we were playing on tiny maps so every piece of land was desirable.
