    Bushtarion largely runs completely automatically, and has been designed intentionally to be as self-maintaining as possible, with mechanics and balance considered at a completed point.

    Please do not spend large amounts of time coming up with complex suggestions in the hope that they will be read and possibly implemented in the future, unless you just enjoy the discussion, theory-craft, and such.

    The most likely changes will be rules-changes, specific number-tweaks to units, techs, and similar sorts of changes, and only if a large community consensus is reached as "proof" that a change would, overall, be an improvement, and are more likely to be done in batches, occassionally, not as a regular thing.

I had a vague recollection of not being able to sleep mode end of round, a few rounds back, but when i hit sleep mode this round. for 3 days due to being in liverpool on business it said sleep time 432 ticks, round remaining 429 ticks. so i thought, well shame i wont be able to play the end and probably will get over taken, but meh i may as well hit sleep and SQ a portal.

obviously as you arent allowed to sleepmode at round end it chucked me out of sleep. but i wasnt forewarned, so my suggestion is . if you do hit sleep mode. and this sleep mode timespan ovelaps with the "no sleepmode" time period, that you get a warning message before you hit sleep informing you of this. or some sort of notification.

for example i sleep mode 8 hrs. and after 4 of those hours i reach the "no sleep mode" time period. it would be nice to be warned that for those extra 4 hours you were expecting to be in sleep mode that actually you wont be.

And for my personal sake can some one clarrify what time period b4 round end it is where you cant use sleep mode... 24 hr 12 hr?

im fairly sure its just the final 12 hours that are sleep free
im thinking perhaps just an addition into the sleep mode description explaining that sleep mode is disabled from 12 hours before the round end would suffice

see i would have thought it should be 24 hours, as to not put a bias on you GMT, else thats just a little unfair for some time zones.
