How many days does the game last?

[Professor Von-Wulfen ]

My current party is 7 strong. 2 are lvl 4 and the rest lvl 3 but will achieve lvl 4 next battle.
I have a good mix of classes (To try and trigger background events) and everyone has great potential with nice traits for the roles I would like them to take.
I have 2 archers 1 with the hunting bow and my starter guys still has the xbow and a pitchfork to reinforce the back line if needed. My priest also stays at the backline with pitchfork and nets.
I only have a shield/spear wall front line of 4 men and plan to add 2 more for the front line when I find decent recruits.
I have friendly relations with a great city of trade and get great sale prices for any trade good or unwanted armor I offer them, this should get even better the next contract (2skull) I am going to take from them, that is once I find another 2 front linemen.
I have just taken the visit every town and fortification ambition (I only need 4 more visits to complete this ambition) and have enough cash to travel to the unvisited cities and towns in search of these 2 new frontline recruits.
So on to my question:
Is there a time limit in days, charcter lvl point, renown, reputation that trigger events based on any of these factors.
I am worried most about the time limit in days. I am trying to build a party for the long term and therefore waste days looking for the best available taking the odd contract and battles on the road.
As I said my Party is now 7 good men(Lvl 3-4) on day 18.
How many days does the game last and do I have the time to search for the best I can find in these unvisited cities?
Cheers :)

I saw someone on youtube on day 2000+, so don't worry about time.
Enemies get harder so it gets more difficuilt to level new recruits

Awesome news, many thanks for this. The timelimit i thought was around 80 days!

Around 80 days is when the first crisis starts, but it's generally not that hard and after that you can just keep going.

Isn´t it boring to go on, because nothing new happens and game is going to be to easy? I watched a youtube-vid - after day 139 the game had been won and said that going on would be to easy or something like this.

But it felt, that this is very short. You have just have some emotional connection with you brothers and the game ends.

Goal is what you set it as. I usually play first crisis and clear legendary locations personally. Beyond that there really isn't any more challenge to be had sadly. I think around day 200 is when enemies get bonus scaling, but it really doesn't make game any more challenging since you'll have your bros leveled and geared up to meet the challenge by then.

For me, and I have similar from others, it is usually around day 300. The final enemy bump comes at about day 200 and the third crisis sometime between then and day 300 is where I find I am done with that run.

On the other hand. the Davkul origin is a great one to take much further since you team continues to develop for a longer time.

I would also say that on Expert combat there will always be some fights that are challenging due to the high number of powerful enemies in some camps. A fight with your 12 against a 35 member orc camp that includes 2 warlords & 15 warriors is always exciting.

5 year necro. Not bad.

Ugh, I hate it when I only read the few recent posts and fall into inadvertently practicing the dark arts.

There have been a few DLC since the post, so the question does pertain to us Wiedergangers

[Rudolf Fischer]

Even without DLC, a question can become current or information can be added. This can still be the case in 4 billion years or later. Certainly humanity will be extinct by then, but other life forms could use the Steam forum and the game via emulator, etc. A forum differs this possibility from a chat, which is ephemeral - where a reference or extension is no longer possible.
