What does this mean?

[The Wandering Storyteller]

I don't understand the dates or the AUC thing

So like

99 s.e

What does it mean? Where's the AD/BC?

Why are the years counted in AUC and what the heck is it anyway?


You can use various converters which are detailed in this thread to convert from AUC. AUC stands for Ab Urbe Condita which basically means from the founding of the city. AUC is used because the RTW game engine has a long-standing bug that cause an unavoidable CTD somewhere around 67BC, by using AUC, as the mod starts in 537 AUC, it fools the engine that the timeframe is way beyond that date, and no CTD.

what about 99 SE or something? I've seen it probably one of my seleucid campaigns..

I never play O turn campaigns...but I'm speculating it's concerning this (campaign starting 94 years later? 312BCE -94 start = 218 BCE ish?)

(I'm sure someone more learned will come along and clarify...)
