Endgame on turn 57?

[Azira]

This seems a bit premature to me.

I probably should've tried to buddy up to the Acrin. 5 titans against 3 Zephon titans.

Dude. They pop titans based on their number of allies and number of cities.
If they end up with a different number of titans, it means they don't have an equivalent number of cities and allies.

It's actually just "number of allies". It's always 3 + 1 per ally. Even if they have no cities.

And to OP: Yes, 57 seems premature. That should only happen, if you messed with the settings. Normally it happens around turn 100.

I know about number of allies counting for number of titans.
My problem this time around was that I hadn't yet met Zephon, and Acrin were my first punching bag. I was counting on 43 more turns to prepare before endgame, but I'll soldier on.

Got a screenshot but not sure how to share in a thread like this.

Settings are standard? There is a seeting to speed up endgame...

[Azira]

Standard speed for endgame. Double-checked.
Started a new game, same settings. Will see if this happens again.

Maybe a Bug?

If you didn't change the speed parameters, then it has to be a bug, turn 57 spawning Titans is game over pretty much unless you play on huge map and the AI doesn't come for you right away. You barely get your 2nd and maybe 3rd city built by that time and still don't have enough research / production.

Did another playthrough. Game speed very fast. This time, it was on turn 51 the titans spawned.
Small map, very fast quest speed, very fast game speed. Standard escalation pace.

The last one I figured would keep the titans fixed for turn 100. Not true after the latest patch.

Might be the patch that changed things up.

Faster game speed also results in faster endgame.
What happen when both setting are on very fast? Titans on turn 25? xD

[NeonHaggis]

I liked the end game on turn 200 for a long game. Why was it reduced to 150?

[Azira]

With game speed on very fast and escalation pace at very fast? I get the "5 turns until you gotta make a choice!" on turn 33.

Again, I've got a screenshot if anyone want to see for themselves.

Turn 33.
