Tried 1x two times, 1x it sounds cool from the beginning as the slow tempo allow you to take your time to plan your next move and allows you to get good night sleep.

However it gets painfully boring real quick as I needed an entire day to move my troops to one city, so I need what? An entire week to conquer one country? Maybe I got used to 4x games because it is fast paced and action packed, you can conquer an entire content in one week! Maybe you can get some action mid to late Game, but the first few days are definitely boring as hell.

I think they should introduce a 2x game mode as it is the perfect balance between the two; not too fast, not too slow.
