Today completed one else rial time game, Central Sahara map. Although map is small and number of units is not more than 10-20 for first turns, it takes time to move them rightly, to get hero upgrading, to chose city production etc. Looks like existing time period can be not enough to make all player need.
May time period be increased a little? For example to 5 minutes for 5 first turns, 7 minutes from 6 to 10 turns, 10 minutes from 11 to 15 turns etc.
As for me, this could be very useful to have 1-2 additional minutes a turn. And game could still be dinamic but without haste
