The one I just finished was for control of one solar system and it clocked in at 14 hours. Maps can be much much larger than one solar system though. I'm not sure what the max is but it has to be more than five systems.
 
The biggest standard maps hit around 9-10 systems, IIRC.

However, some modders, along with a special modding tool (Galaxy Creator, I think?) have made 100+ star systems.

This is... one battle? Continuously? Like in advance wars?

I would say that it's more like a campaign or a war because you end up fighting on multiple fronts, and frequently have to build up your infrastructure and fleets, and research new technology. It's basically a 4X game in real time, if that means anything to you.
 
But thats awesome, cause most games, ALL the levels are based around one war.
 
I started up a two solar system game this time with about 25 planets and four players. Honestly, I'm thinking this map will take less time than my first one because I'm already ahead in virtually every ranking. It also helps that I have one of the two systems fully under my control.
 
I'm going to bump this topic up... .more discussion.

I didn't own the game back then, but I do now... who else owns this masterpiece? yes... I think it is a masterpiece. It's been a long time since I've been drawn into a game this much. Granted.... I am not as drawn in as when I bought it about 1 year ago... maybe 1.5 years ago, but I am drawn dig this game a lot.

Post it up!

I can't play it til the end of the week-ish when I get my card in the mail, but I'm so stoaked to get this! I saw my cousin playing it about a year ago or so and it looked fun as hell.
 
Actually, I'm playing the tutorial for it and it's running pretty well so far! O.o I don't know how it'll run in the actual game, but shoot I didn't meet the minimum requirements.

Oh.. you didn't meet the minimum? That sucks a little. That game looks AMAZING (even for how old it is) at full Spec.

How far along are you in the tutorials?

I LOVE starting a "skirmish" or a game I setup... and just play a Versus against the computer. I made a larger solar system against 2 other computers... it was hard and took a fricking long time. I think I finally won after 22 hours :lol no... I didn't play that at once. I played in 8 hr chunks I believe... or broke up more over 1 week :lol

It would be awesome if we could get an EGA night for this game.

I'm not sure enough of us own it though... OR if we could get enough time to play it. I'm starting to get addicted to this game again though.
