Turn Milestones in Online Speed

[PatchesSnatches]

I see references to things like "10 cities by turn 100" or a very good win time being around turn 150, is it correct to just divide by 2 for online speed? i.e. 10 cities by turn 50 or win by around turn 75? I'm a bad player, but this seems unbelievably fast to me based on my experience with this game.... am I missing something that differentiates online vs standard speed other than dividing everything in half?

Thanks!

Expect domination games to take relatively longer on quicker speeds, as it doesn't scale equally. You have less turns to use your Knight or your Horseman, but they don't have more movement.

Since movement doesn't scale, it also takes just as long to walk your settlers to city settlement spots, so that also slows things down a bit.

I usually aim for 8-9 cities by turn 50 if i don't try to get some with military.

So 3 cities by turn 20(if no early wonder catch or religion), then 2 more with 50% settler card all settled around the turn 35. Then Ancestor Hall into 3-4 more settlers around the turn 45-50 for a total of 8-9 cities. Add cities if you have more spots.

As mentionned the movement speed really affects the processus. Try to build a road through hills/forests/jungle if you expect to put more cities into that direction. Use early gold to rush scouts/warriors/slingers to secure more land from barbs.

Thanks- that gives me a good concrete number to try for... I think my big problem is I need to accept building more settlers before I have 50% settler card and AH up.
