    Default A Draw

    I was playing a good friend of mine the other night, nobody won and nobody lost it was a draw. Anyone else fight to a draw yet?

    Had an epic one in 2v2. Myself and Duke of Wellington attacking two guys on a hill.

    Fought to last few units... and with maybe 10 seconds more we woulda won it.. was very harsh, but very fun... I'll see about finding the replay, though obviously few ppl wanna watch an hour long game.

    It would be nice to have the option to offer a draw - having played a few games down to the last 20-30 men on each side - the 'win' is somewhat pyrrhic!!

    The irony ofcourse is that in those games that take >hr, lots of gameplay because of the casualties you end up with 50 points for winning.

    I keep my games to 20 minutes. I can't see myself playing one game for one hour.

    I think 20 minutes limits thing a bit too much... ure encouraging a game with a quick engagment and few skirmishing opportunities.

    20 minutes seems perfect. If someone decides to camp, then you have the option of not even engaging.

    Your opinion isn't the only one that matters here. In fact, I don't too much stock in it.

    A lot of us enjoy this game, but at the same time, some of us are reluctant in playing a videogame for 40-60 minutes in 1 sitting. For other people, it's well worth their time...

    ...but this is why there's different options for the Time Limit. You have to be multi-dimensional to appreciate that.

    Is it not possible to speed up the replay when watching it?

    Edited: It is possible to change the speed setting while viewing a replay.
