3 minutes is not a lot of time to set up for kills on many fronts, especially when you need to test the water on a few 20 stacks. Maybe you can do it with clickable maps and autoattack, but I'd prefer the extra time.

Are you kidding? How slow are you..?
true, MOST of the turns take a lot less than 5 mins. Hell. The majority of mine are about 20 seconds, but try killing someone on 4 fronts, with 100 armies, over 15 terits, without just blindly auto-ing everything, and you'll find that 3 mins is nowhere near enough for the MOST IMPORTANT turns.frankroz wrote:If the code folks would go out to the speed game database and see how long the average turn took (minus the deadbeats), I'm guessing they would find the turns to take well under 3 minutes.

disclaimer- the majority of my speed games are 6 way escalating sequential, and thus, I'm commenting specifically on those.

I know it would never happen, but I'd like to see people paying attention to the games they're playing. If I'm playing a 6 way sequential game, I can use other people's turns to adjust my strategy, and when my turn comes, I know exactly what I'm going to do. Personally, playing multiple games just hurts my strategy in both, so I only play one at a time.
Sorry for taking your thread slightly off-topic.

1. You shouldn't even slowly attack unless you have a significant advantage, so there's no point in even trying unless you're going to go through with an auto really.
2. You have attackers advantage.
3. If you are trying to kill someone with over 100 armies, over 15 territories, you are not playing classic.
4. It's a speed game, meant for you to act fast. If you aren't good enough/capable enough to do it, not my fault. Considering you can spam the normal "attack" button as fast as you want, I could do it all in less than a minute, and for each kill you get, you get 2 minutes 30 seconds tacked on, which is MORE than enough (30 s less) to do whatever you need.

Add a freaking option for 3 minute games (leave 5 minute games alone).....for those slow at math, that will gice us 3 options (BTW, I like the idea of 12 hour games as well).
Now, since the 5 minute games won't be touched - there is no more need for the anti-3 minute game folks to chime in anymore - your making my head hurt.
Y'all sound like a bunch of high school girls.
