Hours spent per game

I haven't kept very good track myself but I'm looking for your best guess as to how many hours you spend to finish what sized game.

My current game is gigantic suicidal, 9 opponents, abundant planets, abundant habital planets and common stars. The planet total is 276. I'm just about finished but I'm guessing I've spent close to 80 hours playing this one game alone.

Is this longer that most, about average, or shorter?

Never had a game last that long. But I have never played with those setings. I would say:-

Tiny - Small maps 4hrs - 10 hrs.

Medium - 10hrs - 20hrs.

Gigantic - 10hrs - 40 hrs.

Not played other map sizes.

My game settings vary but r usually Abundant everything, Suicidal, AI algorithims on, loose clusters, tech rate very fast.

Tiny - 2-6 hrs
Medium / large - 6-10

i play with everything abundant expect stars, which is common and the clustered star formation. And normal research rate, no tech victory.

Gigantic, Suicidal, abundant everything - 16-20 hours I would estimate (planet total 487 in last game).

30min - 2h Tiny depends on how fast I'm able too rush the AI
2h-3h small
4h-5h medium
6h-10h large
Duno for giantic beacause I never have the patience to finish them.

Playing mostly on Tough or Painfull with common settings except reasearch wich is very low.
