Real Time

This mod allows you to play the game in approximately real-time, roughly based on how fast intercontinental ballistic missiles travel in real life.
Many other game elements may be inaccurate in their speed as this mod is meant to give you the ability to role-play a total nuclear war, rather than truly make every weapon and game operation happen in exactly real-time.

For reference, ICBMs may take between 10 and 40 minutes to reach their targets when in real time mode.
1 in-game second (the timer on the bottom) is now 100 real life seconds, or 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Speed intervals are now as follows:
1 - Real time (0.01x speed)
2 - Normal speed (1x speed)
3 - High speed (4x speed)
4 - Maximum speed (16x speed)
I may revisit the speed of "Real Time" and update unit statistics for better accuracy in the future.

Additionally, replay speeds are now as follows:
1 - Real time (0.01x speed)
2 - Normal speed (1x speed)
3 - High speed (20x speed)
4 - Maximum speed (2000x speed)

"Why can't I increase the game speed?"
The game speed actually slows down the processing of a lot of things, including requests to change the game speed. You will have to pause the game and then change the game speed, then unpause.

"Can I use this in multiplayer?"
Considering this is a roleplay mod, this is its best use case. Though, you will have to have every player install this mod and agree to do time changes as stated above for it to work properly.

"Is this meant for actual gameplay?"
This mod is not balanced or intended for actual gameplay, it is meant to give players the option of experiencing a nuclear war in real-time as a realistic experience, rather than a rapid and maybe anti-climactic nuclear war. Perhaps, try using it when you're in the endgame and are ready to begin "The War to End All Wars".

"Can I suggest something?"
Feel free to suggest changes to the speed or to unit stats in the comments section based on your gameplay experience, I will listen but can't guarantee if it will be implemented.

This mod is incompatible with any other mods that change the game's speed settings, but otherwise it should work fine with other mods.

The mod icon is from, and the mod's concept is inspired by Kurzgesagt's "How A Nuclear War Will Start - Minute by Minute", a video detailing a nuclear exchange in real time, from mobilizing the armed forces, to deploying anti-ballistic missiles.
