Game Life Balance , mode!

  • 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.

  • The ability to pause a match for 8 hours doesn't seem feasible. you will find that players from all over the world play S1914. to pause it for 8 hours would benefit some in certain time zones, but punish those in others, as half their day would be paused.


    There are many different timed games, and they are played by the players who enjoy the different speeds. Tutorial matches are 4x speed. 4x speed means that the game day is a quarter of a real-life day (6 hours). there are 10x speed matches, and 6x speed matches. 10x and 6x are primarily events, however. The speeds I myself prefer are the 1x speed matches. so, 1 game day, equates to a day in real life. reason I do this is, so the game plays in the background. as I try to play 1 game at a time as well, it allows one to go to work, go to sleep, do stuff outside, do jobs, and so forth.

    I have already written it, just pick the map that suits your time zone.
    they will not pause all at the same time.
    The speed increase is to compensate for the time the map was paused.

  • My dear friend, if you like sleep too much. This is game is not for you.

    Literally there are times when you have to sleep at 2am and wake at 6am just to kill some players than other way will be impossible; or you can study the time when he is disconected to attack in that exact time.

  • Usually I Sleep 9 hours without to worry cuz I secure my country before I go to sleep You know the drill some forts here some forts there art on auto-fire mode, armored cars in forts. Even if the enemy attack me will still take time to get to me and also the fight is 1 hour per attack and I know he might take atleast 3 attacks to break my fort.

    Just finish off the person you are at war with before you sleep lol.

  • You Prove my point , Game has a market gap!
    To attract and retain more players/customers, the company needs to launch a Game life balance mode.
    Most people with available revenue to spend have Jobs and family.
    It would be a good investment for Bytro.

  • Personally, I would like to have such a mode.

    But I am not sure if its good for Bytro financially - people won't need to spend extra money to cope with overnight surprises. I don't care if Bytro earns/lose money, but if is not profitable for them, then we likely won't see this introduced.

    Any sufficiently advanced tactic is indistinguishable from magic to the uninitiated.

    How often do you check your matches? I do check it every 1-2 hours for 10-15 minutes how do people don't have time for family or other stuff in their life, ofc except job at job you can t really play this game unless you have a job that let you check it time to time also if you are in like 10 matches is not Bytro mistake you don t have time for all. (talking about x1) (x4 is just a mode for people with too much time)

    Time wise I am the best case scenario of Parent (1 kid), I have an office job, I don't have issue at work and I use High command every time I play a map.

    But Even me whenever I am at war I have to sleep late and wake up earlier than normal,
    It not right instead of relaxing a bit with your wife and kid in the morning , to go check supremacy for 10-15 minutes first.

    This is why I stopped playing more than 1 map per 6 months and I don't play more than 31 players maps , Even if I love All the big maps and modes.

    I would like to have supremacy as my main game but Supremacy and family life don't go together.

    Even if a Game Life Balance mode was behind a paywall to join, like Gold rounds, I would Happily pay that.

    I was playing this game with 4 other friends , they all stopped because of this. Even if they agree that's one of the best strategy games out there.

  • If I can't play for a long time, I distribute the troops so that I can defend myself in case the AI declares war. A premium feature is "Add Target". This allows you to send your units on a journey overnight. It will look like you're active. And the opponent will not dare to attack you. I show this in detail in my solo campaign "SOLO IN CHILE" on my You Tube channel.

  • lol even the bot declared me war after I gone to sleep :p



    I am never playing this game again .... I want to be able to sleep

    Thats probably because you had a very low popularity with em, it is maybe the result of sneak Attacking instead of declaring war. Sneak attacking decreases more popularity than declaring war
