Title says it all.

I think Slagpit had some concept ideas:

I saw that, but I mean just from a normal alliance game play stand point.

The war one will be cool tho if it happens.

Oh my god, some of you nutballs would just not sleep for the entire reset.

I don't think that 5 days is enough to tag up, establish pacts, and so on? The round would be over before alliances were fully established?

During the 2 day off days between sets (is it 2 days? i dont remember), you would have to set up a pre set system to allow tagging, and pacting. Be allowed to set your ducks in a row that dont affect NW before turns are flowing. I kinda wondered why you were never able to login to your country in a frozen preset state to set up options like tax, production, pacts and tagging etc.

We could make it a month. I just believe that with more turns it would be an interesting twist to it. The war server you are working on will be fun; however, this is not the same thing. This would allow smaller tags to kill easier as well as have a political aspect to it.

I think a month (at the same turn rate) might be a bit long at just under 11k turns!

Current round is 5 days, wed through Sunday: 180+5*360 = 1980 turns

If you run wed through to the Sunday after that would be 12 days: = 4500 turns

That would be about the same length as alliance and make for that wed though Sunday vibe of express, but with some extras days in the middle.

(FWIW: I think you'd need an extra week downtime between sets to avoid burnout e.g 9 days)

MOST importantly, it should have co-op style SS losses. Which should definitely be in express right now imo.
