Maximum game time

you can see the end date and time for your map under game info in the newspaper while on PC.

500 players - 180 days, 100 players - 135 days, 43 players - 120 days, 31 players - 90 days, 2-15 players - 60 days. Events have custom end dates.

Advice on what to do about your morale problems: click on a province, then on the province name in the bottom bar to see a list of what's affecting morale there. Work on fixing as much as you can. Reposition your capital central in your territory to help with the distance to capital. Make sure you have enough of each resource each day change. Building fortresses, railways, factories and harbours raises target morale of provinces they're built it.

Thank you very much.

I'll try to hold out until the timer runs out.

I can't improve morale. I don't have the resources to build fortresses or railroads or anything. I have -35 expansion, distance to the capital, and morale of neighboring provinces...

When the timer runs out, if I'm still top 1, will I get the goldmarks for winning?

Yes you win like normal if the map times out

What if all the active players retire?

also the same

Ok, thanks

On some of the games, when the number of active players reaches 3 then each player will be given the option to Retire in the newspaper. Once all active players agree to retire, then the game ends and rewards are giving based on current place.
