if you only get 100m NW with 21K turns that would be a 60 day set of express, then you need to run a different strat lol

A Primary-length Express server WOULD be awesome.

agree on this.. some people will probably even have more than 1m land. but of course, that's just a guess.

Would be interesting. Gdi would need to be changed. It would be a blast though.

Express the length of primary would result in people breaking 1b NW. We hit 25-40m in 5 days with the bulk of the NW on the last day. It would be realistic country NW's battling it out on the top.

I think a 1 month Express with no GDI, no relations, no clans would be epic (Run as a separate server, not a replacement to current Express)

Agree, definitely not as a replacement but as an addition. Sounds like fun!

i like express even more than the conventional game myself. And the it would help the learning curve for primary since it's so long. Takes a year to learn how to do well.

What do you mean by gdi would need changed ebert?

I believe he meant the same number of turns as Primary, which is a 2880 turn reset, rather than the current Express 1800 turn reset.

I took it to mean the same duration as Primary, but with turns coming at the Express rate.

Which would be awesome.

i definitely meant 2800 turns lol. 2 month express would not only be insane but would probally be discouraging to people who don't have free time all day to sit on their computer and would fall way behind on turns.

Alot of people will die from lack of sleep if express sets were 2 months long.

I stand corrected; evidently I mistook your meaning.

That said, Express is 360(360) unless I'm much mistaken. Even at a turn every four minutes, you'd still have to skip a full 48 hours before you started actually losing turns.

As long as you log in and use up your turns once a day, you'd be fine.

if its turns
2880.. from 1800.. would an addition of 3 days. then we would have 8 days game.

however, 2 months of 360 turns daily.. insane. would surely break all kinda records.

Well... if a given player doesn't have the time or patience to play that particular server, nobody's making them do it. I don't run countries in every server.

However, I still would love to see it as an option. A lengthy Express server is definitely one I'd play.

But, even a marginally extended Express would be nice too.
