I'm playing around in several games, and the turns are never correct.
In one game the turns accumulated as I hadn't played for several days.
In another game after extern, I only get partial turns, and sometimes during the initial play I will get turns added, but not the difference I am owen. Yet if I log back into the game hours later I get the balance.

In another game I get killed, my turns were about 85 left when I got killed. I'm forced to sit out for 24hrs, I log back into game 2 hours after the 24hrs and 1hr after extern and I still only have 85 turns.
Whats worse is I had lost all my stuff and no money, and I'm evil, so I am a total sitting duck, with only 15k I buy additional holds and try to trade and steal enough to get a cloak, instead I end up out of turns not even in a dead end.

Hello yocalif welcome to the game of tradewars.

Turns are accumulated every hour in TW so if it was 1000 turn game you would get 41 or 42 turns an hour.

Recently EIS added the turn bank to TW this sysop configurable option allows turns to still accumulate over a series of days so that if you miss a day you don’t fall to far behind the people your playing against.

If you get #SD# out of the game you have to sit out until after extern you loose all the stuff you had on you and you loose all your turns and only start to accumulate again after extern.

Sounds to me it’s all working as intended.


You should take a look at the web site there’s a lot of good information there about how the games works.
