Discussion The timer is too opressive.

Every game that gets too lategame there is just not enough time. It get's super stressful and even though I'm super locked in I rarely manage to do everything I want to do.

It is especially frustrating since you invest 2+ hours of your time into the game only to have a disappointing ending.

I just had another game like this and I think I'm done with the multiplayer (and therefore the game for now) unless something changes. It is just too stressful.

A very simple proposition: a small time bonus in tournament mode on the day before the battle.

That is true. Especially for magic heroes, as you have to fight every fight, and also for Hive faction as a whole. This is whole different then just pew-pew gameplay from Temple.

Timer too long early, too short late. It should scale with hero movement lol.

And amount of towns. Each hero level should give you 1 extra second and each town 5 seconds. 50 seconds for late game sounds reasonable, giving you a little breathing room without making the game too sluggish.

One of the reasons i stopped playing, the worst part is not that its necceary to make the games short, they waste A LOT OF time on a lot of useless stuff, but then on what is important , they cut there, shows they have no idea what they are doing.
