Time Limit?

[Placek]

I wonder is there a Time Limit in this game? I mean, can the Infestation go so high that it's a Game Over right away? I wonder cause I like to spend my deployments on those extra missions but I'm a little worried that at some point I will hit a wall and won't be able to proceed or it's gonna be a Game Over suddenly.

there is a death clock in game, if the timer ticks down, teh planet gets nuked, so yeah, game over at that point, thats why i have my death clock difficulty set to the easiest, i dont wanna be rushed

Wish I had known this before I started the game... I don't get why developers love these time limits.

When does the death timer start? I'm currently on infestation level 2 on mission 3, am I doing bad?

Oh FFS. Was so interested in this game but no timer for me thank you very much.

Do we know how many days it is per difficulty? Or it's separate timer that appears later in the game?

Tindalos being Tindalos again. Was really enjoying off the bat but starting to change my mind a few hours in. If I had remembered they did Battlefleet Gothic I likely would have passed; a great game ruined by silly timer ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

On Nightmare the timer is 20 days after it appears.

20 days is pretty much enough from my opinion
Lets say you need 3 days for each mission, its like 6-7 missions out of 12 total
And when does it appears? Dont see it on first 3

After the fifth I think.

XCOM had a similar mechanic ... this is nothing new really. It just means you have to do things somewhat efficiently and not take too many days to complete a mission. There is an option when you start to make this clock set to EASY ... more lenient if you want. It really doesn't hinder the game at all. Not a reason not to play.

Like XCOM it would be boring without the time limit. It encourages you to be efficient and actually get better at the game

It will appear once you complete a specific mission. You'll realize what I'm talking about when you start that mission.

Its pretty crazy that the easiest timer difficulty is only 30 days.
Thats like only 1-2 deployments per mission after you take out the mandatory day skips you will be needing to do and then replenishing your forces.

There was a setting in difficulty options that let you turn the whole thing off, or at least set it to minimum I think. You just needed to pick custom difficulty and change it yourself.

I never like to be rushed either so that's the first thing I did. The infestation counter still seems to be moving forward but I guess it won't go above a certain maximum or something?

i have the game on hard but i use a trainer to reset the clock everynow and then.
