Game Speed

Post by Harag »

is it possible to set the game to 1/2 speed? If not will it be possible in a future patch?

Cheers

Not possible now, but this isn't the first time I've heard of this request. This will be something to consider for a patch.

how does the game speed corispond to reality right now? Does one minute of game time = one minute of real time?

Yes, one minutes of game time is real time.

After you've speeded up the game is there an on-screen indication how many times normal the game is running?

Is there one key press that will bring it back to normal speed regardless of what speed it is currently running?

The minus key always brings it back to 0, its steps up, but jumps down.

One thing we could really use is a marker for time compression.

2x
3x
4x

That would tell what speed the game is going. We do not have such indicator but I think it would come handy.

That's a good idea, but our toolbar is pretty full now.

I was thinking more of a simple text just next (or before) the watch that indicates the current time compression when it's not 1x. I.E. 8.10'43" x2 (if it's twice the game normal speed). Just an indicator of the current speed setting that's all, surely not on the toolbar.
