Game Time
In Mech Wars, we have a special game clock. Everything is real-time; when something is said to take 5 hours, it really takes 5 hours to complete. However, a small problem that new players might have is that it doesn't take exactly 5 hours. It always rounds up to the next hour.
The Mech Wars game clock ticks once per hour, so everything happens at the hour. This means that the game ticks at 00:00, 01:00, 02:00, and so on until 23:00. Therefore, there are 24 game ticks or game updates per day.
Mech Wars is played in seasons. Each season lasts for 3 months (or 90 days), and will therefore give you around 2,160 hours of gameplay — or 2,160 game updates (ticks).
