new suggestion: sequential-freestyle games.

I like to play freestyl games because they are pretty fast to play and i can have my turn every 24 hours...
Also i like to play terminator games, because the ensure a lot more action...

Yet if i play a freestyle terminator game their evolves a problem:

at the moment you start a turn and you have deployed your armies, you start conquering one players teritories. but at the moment you are almost finished some other player start his turn deployed quick and takes away the last country of the player you were eliminating...

Also there is another problem with the freestyle games...

I am the last player in round 4 for example and i conquer asia on the world map. Suddenly i see one of my opponents initiating his turn... quickly i also start my turn take 7 bonus and continue...

There are some other things with freestyle-messing-my-strategy-in-turn-up, but they are to minor to point.

On one hand i like freestyle speed, On the other hand i like sequential fairness. What i suggest is the following:

Make freestyle games, where just 1 player can be active at the same time... So if player 3 initiates has turn player 4 should wait till he finishes it..

You will keep the speed of an freestyle game 1 move every 24 hours.. and mix in the fairness of a sequential game...

priority: 4

This has been suggested before...

The major flaw with it is if their is a team of a player that has to go before everyone else - they can wait til the last minute... take their turn and then no-one else can play that turn... then they can take another turn as soon as the time ticks over...

I believe the suggested solution for this was to drop the enforced block on other teams/players half way through the time limit (i.e. 12 hours at present)
