I understand that I'm just blowing in the wind, but could we please change the weekly turns to monthly turns. I can't even begin to fathom what would make the designers set the turns in this game to weeks to begin with. It makes no absolutely no sense. Why develop an entire backstory and then invalidate the game's universe by making everything seem silly?

Its entirely a superficial change, but it would greatly help the game's backstory, realism, and allow the player to feel more immersed in Galciv 2's world (in other words, it would feel much less "gamey"). I have won my first two games in under 10 years. It makes absolutely no sense that a race could go from 5 billion taxpayers on one planet to ruling hundreds of worlds, each with 5 billion or more people, in less than a decade.

Furthermore, consider the tech victory. What are the odds that a race could go from pre-space technology to becoming beings of pure energy within 10 years?

I'm absolutely begging the designers to make this small change. No small change would do more for the game's "feel" than this. Certainly it would add to my own enjoyment of the game. Edit: I just considered another factor. Elections. When the election screen comes up it talks about how it is an election year. Elections actually take place within a few months of each other. This seems like Galciv 1's election format, with Galciv 2's shorter turns. Please just change it.
