Realtime Clock

[Amec]

Would it be possible to have a realtime clock and next turn counter? It is really annoying for me (56ker) to have to keep refreshing to see how long until the turn change.

[Kaska]

that would be good...

i think...

I wouldn't mind one. It can be quite annoying having to refresh to see how long til the turn change.

[deline]

it a good idea

or sunc it in with real time.

The turn counter: If you look at your turn income, it tells you how many minutes before the next turn.

Real time: What classifies, "REAL" time? People play this game form all around the world, they're not in the same time-zones. It will only add to the problem. Just remember how many hours the game clock is ahead or behind your normal time.

I vote no as it would just make timig worse.

"Hey, ill trade you x amount of Naq for X amount of turns, Trade at 4:00 in-game time?"

other guy, living other side of the earth:

"Ok then."

The two times will be different. It will make co-ordinated attacks harder to manage too.

i think the real time is a good idea, and turn counter do u mean it tells u how long with out having 2 refresh?

[Don Lewis]

If the turn was set at exactly on the hour and half past, then it would be easy to look for your next turn, look at your watch.

[R3B3L]

Your fogetting that time is not universal. Time say in England will be different to that in America or Australia.

You need a constant time, like what we have now.

[Zeratul]

the time counter suggested would be a constantly going version of game-time... one that doesnt need to be refreshed... that way, noone can say the wrong time because of timezone differences...

[R3B3L]

oh right, i was getting confused. So it would be like the clock in the corner of my pc screen, but with the game time instead?

Fair enough

[Dagr]

how about u could set the time 2 ur time zone and stll have game time 4 communicating with other players

[dragon99]

actually i think the original post was instead of have like "Next Turn: 24 min" have a realtime count down that automatically updates like 24:15 then the next sec 24:14

[R3B3L]

yea it was, i mis-read it
