Aahh... these TBS games does really satisfy the Obsessive Compulsive streak in me, the perfectionist inside who can't bear to see resources go to waste and will fine-tune every spending down to the single bc's or IPs...
Which makes me wonder, how much time do other TBS players out there take before they complete each turn? Me, on average, I spend anywhere between 5 mins to 30 mins each turn, fiddling with sliders to optimize spending on individual planets, tech trade to the death, calculating distances of one-shot consumable ships (colony, constructors, freighters) destination away from its shipyard planet and designing a ship with most cost efficient speed for the purpose... upgrading my ship designs to be most cost & space optimal...
which also brings out another question: how do multiplayer TBS work, when players might take eternities just to take a single move? I heard Civ4 got MP, i never tried the game myself. Anyone who does, care to shine a light on this mystery?
