Custom game, 28hr production cycle is default?

[Jacob]

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.

This was debated in a previous thread.

Shifting production times rotates the timing advantages and disadvantages around the planet for players in different time zones, for the sake of fairness.

Shifting Production Times

I have been seriously considering setting the production period so that it changes throughout the game. Sometimes production would be at night, sometimes at day. I was thinking 30 hours, (24 + 6) or 32 hours (24 + 8) between pays. In 30 hours there are 4 different times throughout the game for production, in 32 there are only 3 different times a production might occur. Example 30 hours: midnight, 6am, Noon, 6pm. Example 32 hours: midnight, 8am, 4pm. I may be able to make this configurable,…

Sorry Jacob, I didn’t mean to make this this default yet at this stage. I will have a look at my code and see what is going on.
