Whilst certainly some players can play effectively with a 90 second turn time, others can't. To which turn times of 90 seconds min disclude a number of players from taking part in this game mode. This is true for experienced players, never mind new ones.

Speaking of which; there's hopefully soon going to be a new group of players joining CR as a result of the free steam keys given to Phoenix Point backers. Those players (assuming that they're from an X-com) background are used to playing a slow tactical game, not a quick time limited one.

With an increased time limit for duel matches,imho it should be 2 mins rather than 90 seconds, you've a better chance of retaining those players than with the current time limit..

Much as I'd love 1-minute duels, the current time limit is 90 seconds per turn.

Cheers Rafi, I've updated the OP.

I guess the pertinent question is: What competition is available within the game for people who either prefer to (or need to) play live matches slowly?

Aren't League games 2 minute turns?

Async Leagues

For live matches?

As an aside the asynch league is also excluding people. a) Anyone who isn't able to make a turn every 48 hours. b) Anyone who prefers games of more than 4 players. c) Anyone who prefers team games.

They are, which is the average time setting available - What is there for players who prefer 3 minute matches?

When they are complete and implemented, Demigod custom matches.

Which are custom games rather than a competition.
