I've picked up this habit (only took 3 hours a day for 2 years) to *trust* that number next to "Duration" in the demo details as being the *right* number.

But since the advent of Conquer tokens, I often get confused. The main issue is the Caravel demo listing in the bottom left shows the Conquer token move count. I usually suspect a bug until I read the Description and spot the *right* number in there.

It would be good if Duration showed up as something like:
Duration: 2:25 293 Moves (Exited in 298)

I'm not sure what you mean..."duration" is the exact number of moves in the demo. Hmm...it sounds like you want the semantic changed to display on what move the room was conquered as well as in the demo description. Is that right?

Sorry yeah... I'm a syntax kind of guy. Semantics aren't my forte ;)

I would like to see the "Duration" field on the F6 screen show primarily the number of moves until the room was conquered as opposed to the length of the demo. Having both pieces of information would be ideal though (as per my example) with the main focus being on conquer moves.

Especially since Conquer tokens serve only to confuse that score.
