Sorry if this topic has been discussed here before,
But.....I am old school 2025 player that has 'recently' returned.
I am loving the express style of play, very fun and keeps me logging in. Why not cycle the next set in earlier?
Instantly would be fantastic but the delay now is way to long IMO.
An admin response would be appreciated.

It was purposefully designed as a short 5-day round instead of 7. Part of the literal "express" of the server is not only that it is faster, but also shorter.

Furthermore, it gives players ample time to create their countries in the new round. This "downtime" happens in every game server.

They need to bring back 1 min EXPRESS. Or was that 2025? I forget...

I remember 1-min express when it was introduces, I didn't particularily enjoy it but I sure played it and it was exciting for 1 round lol.

In response to PaperTiger I don't feel at all that I need less delay. Even when I'm having fun on express its often cumbersome to play most days. I play for the art of destocking or to fight those who hit me.

mehul had 1 weekend expresses so if you slept you lost.

Tbh I think sleeping is winning in that setting. :)

most likely. still many played those (even during wars).

30 minute express with 1 second turns!
see how CHEESY that could be..

I talking about the downtime between sets. Not how fast the turns are****

we know that, time between sets is due what primmy says.
