It actually depends on how they programmed it. Without factoring downtime, the easiest way would be to base turn expiration dates based on the date and time of your last move. But if they factored this in, then perhaps not. Still waiting for confirmation from the developers of GMR.

I'm also hoping that when GMR comes up, it will include Beyond Earth. I'm crossing my fingers.,

Will we get skipped in games where our turns will expire once GMR is restored, you think?

GMR has been down for several hours now. I have several games where my turns will expire. Will I get skipped?

Thank you for clarifying. This is a huge thorn off my chest. And yes, I have likened playing Civ on GMR like correspondence chess, which I have played.

Thanks again!

More specifically, does continually reloading a game to find the optimal placement of units, order of production, city placement, etc constitute as cheating?
