I repeat, a 1-minute battle timer doesn't allow you to linger in battles and plan further actions on the map. With a 2-minute timer, it's much easier to do this because there are many simple battles that take less than a minute. This shouldn't be the case – it undermines the purpose of the chess timer. As for 4 minutes per battle – that's just absurd. If there isn't enough time for battles, you need to increase the first two timer values, but definitely not the third. P.S. In War of the Titans, they play without a third timer value, without a separate time for battles, and everything is fine. Yes, the timers are initially longer there, and everything happens faster due to the mod's features, but nevertheless.
