Re: PT timer.

I think it's a good idea, but we need to pick a good spot in UI ) Where exactly would that fit?

Re: PT timer.

Yeah as Krom says there's not a lot of space available, and we don't want it to look clumsily placed. I think it works ok on the players tab, and you can always check the game time under the menu (if you know what peacetime was set). However, feel free to create a mockup of your idea and if it looks good we'll consider it.

Re: PT timer.

When you pres F8 it`s fast mode and you can see timer maybe make it visible without pressing F8.

Re: PT timer.

you can see how much pt there is left when you open the player screen, it is good enough for me.

You can see the game time by opening the menu, it is displayed above the music player.

I don't think the game time is important enough to need to be overlaid on the game all the time.

Re: PT timer.

For single player it`s not important at all but for multiplayer it is when you need start make recruits exactly 20min before PT ends each minute less means less recruits. If you know things like after how much time you will get resources like wood and grain it means you can build right building in right time. Maybe it`s nonsense for someone but not to me. If some of us don`t like redundant timer it can even make that you can turn on and off.

You can always keep a stopwatch next to you if you think this is really important.

Re: PT timer.

I suppose that the game timer could be toggled off/on the top of the screen. That way people who like having it up there can see it, and those who don't won't have to.
There is an identical feature in Age of Kings. Personally, I don't like having it there, but many players do.
I used to spam this forum so much...
