Time issues...

[Grallon]

I'm waiting for the full game (in the mail) and been playing the demo... how are we suppose to tell the time with this game ? I mean beside watching the treasury change every so often - there's no way to tell the date we're at.

Oh and are thereplans for an editor - or maybe it's included in the full version ?

Good question. No, it is not in the retail version. I, too, would like to have a sense of "time" in the game, where we can see how many "years" have gone by, if at all possible.

There is no "time" in the game other than day and night. This prevents you from running a medieval kingdom in the 21st century.

So basically, the time is "Medieval Europe" and that's it.

Can't you count the day-and-nights, Huh (like they did in the Medieval prisons)?

I see what you mean. You're right of course. I have gone through multiple generations of my king and his heirs and would now be close to 20th century time, which just would not be realistic.

I think an improved event log would be a good addition to the game without implementing dates/years. Maybe something like: accomplishments under 1st Generation King, population size during 3rd Generation King, etc. Something at least to show and review your progress and not necessarily time itself.
