Still no word on game speeds?

[Mustakrakish]

The Marathon speed in Civ IV and Civ V is vastly different, even though they share the same name. Marathon games in Civ V can take a very long time to complete, while you could almost finish a Marathon game in Civ IV in a single night.

Yes, so? What does it change? Of course every speed individually compared to previous edition will vary in actual time it takes to complete, especially when the games are so different (IV to V), but that doesn't change the fact that there STILL will be quick, normal, epic and marathon.

It would be quite bad to see science victory in medieval on some speeds, for example. At least several playthroughs are needed for each speed to test those modifiers. You can't just get them from previous game as some core game mechanics change. For example, with buildings adding flat numbers instead of percentages, the effect o modifiers on them changed.



Of course we're all worried about it.

The speed won't alter that...

The game proceeds by turn number, the only thing that gets weird is the difference between movement and everything else.

The only thing that gets different is conquest... easier on slower speeds and smaller maps.

Domination victory in Medieval is more likely on Marathon... none of the other victories are (best way to get space in 1000 AD v. 2000 AD would be a conquest snowball)

There's gonna be... Quick, Standard, Epic and... drumroll... Marathon! Ta-daaa! No need to thank me. Also the sky is still there.

Also the speed clock is set on quick. When it's on normal, the clock is half filled. 75% filled on epic and yes, you guessed it, full on marathon. No need to thank about that either.

Though there IS a possibility that the clock is actually on normal, quick is completely empty clock, epic half filled and marathon full. That would be how it was in V. But I prefer the reasonable way.

I was going by the topic of this thread which was about game speeds in Civ VI and how there was a lack of information so far. I just wanted to say that Marathon speed varies between Civ games.

Just saying that Marathon in Civ VI could be shorter than the Marathon speed in Civ V. Or longer than in Civ IV.

What happened to Ludicrous speed?

I imagined that it would be rather difficult to play the game with "your brains in your feet".
