Has there already been discussions about how long the average game be for Stormgate? One of the reasons I continued playing SCII was knowing the games are normally around 10 minutes so I can fit them in pretty easily into my day.

However I remember hearing they're using a 200 supply cap at the moment, and want to have battles that are in length between BW and WCIII which are significantly slower than SCII. With the 200 supply cap and that type of slower battle pace, I have a feeling that these games could become significantly longer. One of the reasons I never tried out AOE was because the games seemed to drag on for too long.

Here's the scoop from our game director, Tim Campbell, and the design team:

We are still in the earliest stages of playtesting our internal build, but for 1v1 we're aiming for an average game length of around 15-20 minutes. We believe our 3v3 mode will be a little longer.

One of our goals is to make it so that the game lengths across all of our competitive modes are fairly consistent. It's too early to definitively lock in where we'll land -- we'll be looking closely at player feedback during next year's closed beta tests (sign up at playstormgate.com if you haven't already) and ultimately we'll follow the fun.
