I started a custom game for some friends. We’re all newbies so it should be a fun experience, haven’t even gotten past the first turn and there’s already tons of plotting and diplomacy.
Anyways, when I created the game I left most of the settings as default, but now that we’re playing we noticed our production cycle of 28hrs is highlighted in red as though it was custom. I went to the creation menu again and noticed that it is indeed selected by default. Was this intended to be 24hr instead?
I don’t think the extra 8 hours will be annoying to the point of restarting our game, but it probably will be annoying.
Shifting production times rotates the timing advantages and disadvantages around the planet for players in different time zones, for the sake of fairness.
