Is there or will there be a game speed setting to slow down production, research, construction, magic, mana etc.?

Such a great game set up option for 4x civ type games. I always play the epic slowest settings. Please tell me AOW4 has this?

Yes, it has the speed option.

There is a 'game speed' option under advanced settings > game flow.
I'm sure you can set it to slow if you like to play that way.

Awesome thanks! I have not seen one Ytuber show the advanced options...

Devs mentioned it in one of their diaries.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately this confirms my fears. There is no marathon setting like the Civ games. Only a setting that effects how much resources and army units you start with as the game begins like the previous AOW games. There is no setting that slows down the game production, research, construction, magic, mana production etc. I hope this is something they will consider adding in the future...

"Among other things, Slow Game speed increases the cost of knowledge a research skill requires and the food cost a city needs to acquire a new population. This means a Magic Victory will be harder to achieve, but you will have more time to maneuver armies and settle things in wars."

Hmm thanks well that is something then. Slows down research and food for pop growth. They should put that in the tooltip then for game speed as there is nothing that mentions it? When he clicks on Game Speed it just says select the amount of resources each player receives at the start of the game as well as the size of the starting army. Next in the video he clicks on starting conditions and that tooltip says Start with -50% starting resources and a smaller initial army.

Hmm that looks like a wrongly linked up text as it is the tooltip for the Starting Conditions.

Yes they both say the same thing but just worded differently? Very happy to hear you can slow some things down in the game!
