Manx_CM Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 Why not agree on a time limit before you start?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake bullet Posted April 15, 2001 Author Share Posted April 15, 2001 WOW fastest responce ever thanks for that but you know what people are like they say 3mins and when you tell them they only have seconds left you get them saying "well i only have too move this unit ohhh wait this 1 too and maybe this 1 nearly ready " i am sure you know the score so i just think it would add so much too what is allready a fantastic game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx_CM Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 A few seconds/minutes here and there isn't going to cause too much grief. My advice would be to set yourselves fixed time limits depending on the map size and force scale of the battle your playing. Obviously bigger battles will take you longer to organise your turns, but i'm sure you can work out a good set of rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 Yes I think it would be a very handy option to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx_CM Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but even with a timer, both players still need to agree on the time limit to be imposed, so IMO it would be just as easy to implement this feature yourselves. - i.e - a sharp clip around the ear should be administered to the active player when his time limit has expired!.

109 Gustav Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 Just get one of those little sand timers- thats what I often use for Scrabble games. When the timer runs out, you have the authority to whack your opponent on the ear, as Manx said, or reach over and hit Go for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
