Tactical Turns by Tom Illar

Adds new Turn Types: Two-phased turn with short dynamic turns for warfare only and simultaneous turns as a second phase / turns with "ready check" option / turns with 3s delay before your turn.

Adds 19 new Turn Types for Multiplayer for a wide choice of preferable gameplay. I don't know which Turn Types will be more popular, so I've made basically all possible options you can mod of it.

Please leave comments which turns types you use the most and why.

Only the host needs the mod to work in multiplayer.

1-4. Quick/Regular/Long/Longest Tactical Turns: Separate a turn into 2 phases.
Phase 1: Short Dynamic Turns for players at war when only units are moved. Basically a small window of time to make quick tactical strikes for each player at war.
Time: 3/6/9/12s + 0.5/1/2/4s for each unit
Phase 2: Simultaneous turns ( you can both build and move units ).
Time: 21/18/15/12s base + 8s per city + 3.5/3/2/0s per unit

5. Delayed Simultaneous Turns: Simultaneous turns with a 3 seconds pause at the beginning of each new turn.
Time: 3s pause + 24s base + 8s per city + 4s per unit.
Tip: At start only skip the very first phase once.

6-9. Delayed Quick/Regular/Long/Longest Tactical Turns
Tactical Turns with a 3 seconds delay at the beginning of each new turn.
Tip: At start only skip the very first phase once.



Ready Check Option: at the beginning of each turn each player must confirm that he is ready for playing ( 60m timer ). This is an alternative for Pause. As I see it, players must agree how often and in what circumstances they can take breaks. Ready Check option will not allow others to unpause the game and you won't loose your timer. It is also easier to have proof on other players if they abuse breaks because timer will show how much time have passed.

Example:
You can agree on a game with 5m breaks each 1h/every 50 turns, 20m breaks each 4h/every 100 turns, possible individual break for 10-15m for each player

10-13. Quick/Regular/Long/Longest Tactical Turns with Ready Check
Tip: At start only skip the very first phase once.

14. Simultaneous Turns with Ready Check
Tip: At start only skip the very first phase once.

15-18. Delayed Quick/Regular/Long/Longest Tactical Turns with Ready Check
Tip: At start only skip the very first phase twice.

19. Delayed Simultaneous Turns with Ready Check
Tip: At start only skip the very first phase twice.
