    SInce RTW (I don't remember STW or MTWI), players have had the option of playing passed the end date if their campaign was still going strong, or if they merely wanted to do 'just because.'

    Is that option in or out? Does the campaign 'hard end' at the end date, or can players keeping playing?

    I have heard someone on here say they had to go past the end date on the Italian campaign to actually beat it completely, so I would reckon that you can on all the campaigns. I don't see why not.

    That feature has always been there. RTW, MTW, M2TW and ETW all have it.

    Its a nice feature But I don't think I have ever used it myself. The game is usually way to boring by the end date anyway to want to drudge through any more.

    My games always seem to be pretty much done by 1/2 way through. This is so true for ETW at least. Since it really does not have any endgame type gameplay at all that can deal with a Human Player.

    You play past the enddate in EB?
    It has 4 turns per year and a timeframe of over 280 years!

    Anyway all TW-games get quite boring after you are the strongest faction on the map. And in the vanilla versions nobody needs the whole timeframe to gain a victory. So I see no reason for an feature to play after the end date in a grand campaign.
