Timer is crucial for multiplayer games. If one player goes afk during his turn, games will become very long. This feature is also needed for simultanious moves, that were already approved

Just to be more specific, instead of having a fixed set time for the full game like in chess, players get a bit of time every turn they take. For example, if we determine that the average time for a turn is 1 minute per wielder and 1 minute per settlement controlled (battle not included), a player with one wielder and one City will have 2 minutes added to his timer every turn, of course, if he doesn't use all of his time it will allow him to save time his next turn. This way there is always an incentive to play as fast as possible so you can save time for a more complicated turn. Battle will have a separate chess clock. When a player runs out of time his turn is skipped automatically, if a player skips his turn 3 times because of time out he is automatically kicked out of the game.

Customizable timer. 16 minutes (for the first move), 8 minutes (for all other moves), 2 minutes (for the fight). After the timer ends, the move is passed to the next player. For example: I finished the first move in 4 minutes, respectively, I have 12 minutes left (16-4). They give 8 minutes for the second move, which means I will have 20 on the timer (12 + 8, the rest of the time from the first day is summed up with the second).

The fight is given 2 minutes. BUT, if the timer ends, then the time is subtracted from the main timer.
