Google 'total war battle length' and it's simply not believable that CA are unaware about grumblings with the battle length and pacing existing for a very long time now. The pattern is familiar and the same solutions are suggested, in threads on official and unofficial forums which stretch to a very great length. If CA are unaware of this, then they are not even casually browsing among the discourse of their own player-base.
Even then, the failure of their own PR, community and development staff to properly showcase battles in the pre-release preview videos because of the pace at which things were happening should have been a big wake-up call.
Exactly.
It's pretty much impossible for them not to know about it as a ongoing issue for a considerable segment of players. Which leads me to think they have made a conscious decision - for one reason or another - not to do anything about it.
The question is, what is that reason? It just seems strange when you see game after game come out, some of which include quite elaborate and labour-intensive new features, some of which don't even do a great deal to improve the player experience. Something like an extra speed setting or two seems like an easy crowd-pleaser compared to those.
