I'm sorry, are you serious?

A complete game? Yes.

A scenario, could be done in about 2 hours if everyone is working on doing their turns quickly.

he is serious... but since civ moved to steam online matches last an average of 1-2 hours because everyone quitted until then because of anonymity.

Back in the days of gamespy you couldn´t change your name easily so everyone who quitted got instantly booted in every future match because everyone knew him.

You lads can't be serious. Sure games aren't fast, but half a day on online speed?

I mostly play standard speed, and my multiplayer games (2 players, 5-8 AIs) on standard speed on average take between 1 and 2 minutes per turn (this includes various technical issues, but no breaks). That's 5-10 hours, closer to 10 than 5, for a standard game (~300 turns).

It's been a while since I tried online, but even if you spend as much time per turn, you'd still be done by turn 200 (175?), so that's maybe six hours tops - probably less.

I'm sure you can take longer turns, but I don't think two minutes per turn is unreasonably quick.

When I take a normal day and the time you can logically spend on gaming, 6 hours constitutes half a day for me. Actually more, but that would definitely feel as half a day.

I also think you play very fast, if you stay below 2 minutes on average for the entire game. For me mid to late game turns will take longer. Which would bring the average above 2 minutes easily.

4-6 hours is what a game can take, if you don't die early :-/
