Posts from Time Limit: 6 или 4?

Actually, most of the players I know are already playing on 6 minutes, while the seasonal rules still state 4. So, let's conduct a poll among HeroesWorld players: what time do they actually prefer? On the Portal, through voting, we came to the conclusion that it's time to play on 6, so why are we worse? :)
So, 4 or 6, 6 or 4, or maybe 8:) (just kidding, or some people will hang me for the 8 minutes)))?
In short, the voting will last a month, and based on the majority, we will make adjustments to the rules if necessary.

Let's go for 8! :D

for the Bolsheviks!!!
10 minutes and that’s it!!!

I agree that 6 minutes is a good time limit and there's no need to rush. You can sit back, play, carefully consider your moves, build a chain, take dwellings, and so on.
But time flies!
Especially when you can't rush and the game drags on, sometimes, by chance, a disconnect occurs. And then it starts: you deliberately left, it was my game, what are you talking about, and...
In most cases (I'm not good at rushing), it's the length of the game that leads to a disconnect!
Can you explain this?
I hope to switch to 6 minutes soon, that is, when I learn to build a chain!

I don't want more than 6, but to be honest, even 6 isn't always enough (separating single-digit numbers, etc.).

I was just joking about the 10 types, but even 6 can sometimes be insufficient.

I finish in 6 minutes. I don't feel like explaining in detail for the tenth time, as I've talked about it many times. I rarely spend the full 6 minutes (I think, on average, it's 5). I strategize on the fly, based on my opponent's moves, and use my time as efficiently as possible, never waiting for it to run out completely. And I advise all beginners to play on 6 minutes if they want to improve their skills.
P.S. Now Nagán will come and write a multi-volume lecture about the harm of playing on 6 minutes :D

Explain this nuance!!!

The thing is, it all depends on the opponent :) If you're playing against someone who is willing to kill for numbers in a table and make others kill too, then you shouldn't expect anything else ;)

I hope to switch to 6 minutes soon, that is, when I learn how to build a chain!!!

Great :) And when you learn to make the chain not only a means of transportation but also a very powerful combat unit that speeds up the actions of the father/mother by about 50%, then you'll demand 8 minutes :D

Voted in 4 minutes... It's rare that I don't manage to do it in 4 minutes on my laptop. The quality might suffer, but I'm sacrificing it for now... :smile16:

Where is the "other" or "I don't care" or "but you guys are still the best :smile08:" option?

If we're being serious, this is actually a philosophical question. It depends on your mindset when playing. If you just want to have some fun, then definitely 4! But if it's a serious tournament game, then definitely 6, or even 8! That's why I'm not voting.

6 minutes ))), but 8 is already too much, and 4 is fast but also enjoyable.

Thank you, Sergey, for your promptness! I'll copy what I already wrote on the forum. **Definitely in favor of 6 minutes.** A well-designed game with a maximum of actions and combinations is more interesting to me than blitz games. A shorter turn time changes the tactics; it's necessary to consciously simplify things instead of trying to do what you physically won't have time for. I never object to playing with a limit of 2-4 minutes with beginners – after all, the limit applies to both players. I urge all our experienced players to do the same. In this regard, Yegor is right; we shouldn't immediately scare off beginners with long turns and phrases like "TE" and "TE-lite."

I can't manage with 4, sometimes even 6 isn't enough. But 8 is definitely too much, so you can play without any limits then.

Where is the option "other" or "I don't care" or "but anyway, 6 is better :smile08:"

If we're being serious, this is a philosophical question. It depends on your mood for the game. If you just want to have some fun, then definitely 4! But if it's a serious tournament game, then definitely 6, or even 8! That's why I'm not voting.

The question is mainly about tournament games (because the rules are mostly taken from seasonal games, where the default is 4 minutes). In seasonal games, everyone will continue to play as they always have, because no one will force or beg anyone to play with certain time limits. If you don't want to, then we'll "look for someone else" (laughs). But 4 minutes in tournaments is no longer just a casual game "with beer" and "for fun," but a serious battle. And it's very frustrating to lose in a tournament not because you're weaker, but simply because of a lack of time!

The answer is in my signature:D.
