The year thing?

[Che]

Ok, for now this is the only mod I'm enjoying. But whats that 470 ube condita or whatever it was, its really annoying me? I have absolutely no idea if its 370 or 270 or 70 BC ? How do I change it to BC and AD ?

Well, that was the year system that the Romans used. However, the RS team implemented it rather because the game was crashing at a certain year BC. This question was asked before, you could do a quick search and find the way to change it, if you still want to, BUT I strongly recommend you don't, as you can lose a campaign at a later stage..

Thanks for the quick response, I guess I'll stick to this year system then...

I have a question. How far does the game go? I've never gotten that far.

200 AD.... so... erm, technically, assuming that rome was founded in 753 BC... which is the year 0... 953 AUC?

[Mattius]

For dates before 753 AUC, just take 753 from the date in-game (and minus one, as there is no year '0') to get BC.

So 470 A.U.C = 470-753
= -283-1
= -284
284 BC

EDIT: When you get to AD (a positive number after taking 735) don't minus one.
800 AUC = 800-753
= 47 AD

Great! I had been wondering if there were some easy way to 'translate' it

Sounds smart

Simple Enough.

Answered, and Closed.

Also, I believe this is answered in the FRQ or is in one of the Stickies up there...
