The problem:
The game is running for 24h meaning that if you are engaged with it, you will lose your carefree sleep during a war or requires your attention during working hours.
It becomes more of a liability than a relaxing game that you play in your free time.
Solution:
- The game pauses for 8 hours every real-life day.
- Pausing time period will be indicated on the map so the player chooses the map with their preferred time frame break.
- To compensate for the time the map was paused the speed of the map adjusts to 1.5 so it runs a full game day in the time frame of 16 hours.
- During the break diplomacy and trade is available but everything else is paused.
PS: Nuber of hours and speed are indicative it could be 8-16 and speed from 1.5-3
This will also allow for a more competitive game instead of trying to outsleep the other player.
Players/customers, with available revenue to spend have Jobs and family.
It would be a good investment for Bytro.
