So because you have something else you gotta do everyone else has to suffer 3min timers?

[gusty anvil]

just once a game per player, and most might not use it, and the total time could be reduced from 15 to 10 maybe, and multiple people can use this opportunity at the same time to go afk without missing their turn.

[austere veldt]

Still if I have nothing else to do I get punished same with everyone else

[gusty anvil]

Thats correct, I have to admit.

[austere veldt]

I understand your reason because sometimes I have to go afk and I play 60 sec timers but just gotta be quick

Usually play my turn fast then let it run out on its own 🤷‍♂️

[gusty anvil]

good point, I will definitely try to remember to do that next time.

[austere veldt]

Dont do it to many times in game might be considered stalling

Which is reportable but I havent had an issue yet

[gusty anvil]

Its probably not a big deal when doing that with short turn times, but I was thinking of doing it only when needed anyways, but thanks for the information nonetheless

Maybe something like being able to let one turn of yours be taken over by a defensive ai might be better

after your turn you confirm to let a defensive ai take over and only attack a single weak territory for a card and reenforce where it thinks is most needed, or you can set those yourself before its even your turn, so that you have twice as much time until you have to return again.

Being able to change devices during a game is certainly a better solution than this. This seems like a more personal solution at the expense of the experience of others, as Jordan as tried to explain above.

A better idea might also be to suggest some form of play-by-mail mode. This would allow games to played over longer time periods without inconveniencing the experiences of others.

I feel like this issue impacts such a small percentage of games played.

If you are finding yourself needing to do something else so often during games, I would recommend playing on portable devices (e.g. tablet or mobile phone). I might also recommend finding another time to play, when you don't need to do other things, if you can.
