The only thing currently preventing me from purchasing the game is the removal of this feature that was present in the third installment. Finding and joining games in the lobby becomes practically meaningless without it. When one out of eight players abandons the game, what happens to the remaining seven who invested months in playing? If there was only a feature to skip their turns, this game would be the ultimate PBEM experience for me. If there is currently a plan for this, please inform me. I want to purchase this game accordingly.
Please reintroduce the PBEM turn timer!

You can't simply replace the abandoned player? I'd be open to a half played game. I haven't actually done multiplayer, but Id be open to picking one up.

i don't have multiplayer experience yet, all i know there is no turn timer for pbem
If you don't know, you don't have an actual problem. I have no idea what the purpose of a PBEM turn timer is. If you play an eight player game and one person bails, then in AOW 2, you replaced their email with that of a volunteer.
and asked same question in discord, some even said the tournament matches stuck for this very reason
Hello there.
In Multiplayer, you can either set a turn time limit or a battle time limit or both, against tactical inactivity as the devs call it.
These options can be found under "advanced settings".
And if that doesn't fix the issue and the player keeps pushing the limits, you can simply remove the disruptive player from the game in the social settings of your open multiplayer game. Just click on their name and hit remove. By opening their profile, you can even block that player entirely on steam.
I hope this helps.

There should definitely have more options in the turn timer settings that would apply to asynchronous play, like 12 hours or 24 hours.
