Default Re: How long for a game?

Most games are played on maps of 100-200 provinces. 300-400 is considered large.
Most games are played with one era with about 10 players. All the nations in one era (around 20) would be considered a large game.
Most games are played requiring 1 turn a day or the game will host even if you dont have your turn turned in. (altho many games extend the timer to 2 days or 3 days as the game progresses)
Most games have a decided winner by 100 turns in.

On the other hand, people get together in one of the chats and have small 2-4 player games on small maps with each doing a turn as fast as they can. They can play 100 turns in one day with no problem.

And on the other end, you can have games with maps as large as 1500 provinces. You can have up to 90 players. Ive had games on my server played for more than a year.

The great thing is that Dom3 doesnt decide it. It has a ton of range and a ton of settings allowing for many variations. Enjoy.
