How many total turns/years is RS II?

**mp84** · September 06, 2010, 08:53 PM

Hey All,

Question, since we play in AUC, any idea when the actual games ends? or is there no turn limit?

Tried searching for my answer, but having a keyword of just "turns" is rather difficult to find what I'm looking for.

Just want to know, so I don't go to slow in expanding if I am dealing with a time limit in terms of number turns/years.

Hmm,

Lots of views, but no replies, guess the question may have been tougher then I thought, but seriously if anyone happens to know the answer to this, then that would be awesome

thanks,

No limit as far as I know.

That's awesome news. I dislike the weight of a limited number of turns in fulfilling my inner megalomaniac.

There is no target completion date at all (like there is in N:TW). Even if an AI facton wins by reaching it's target you should be able to play on beyond the defeat (there is an option to do so just as there is one to play on beyond victory).

Is there actually a maximum date you cannot play beyond? I always thought there was a cut off somewhere in the AD time frame.

Possibly. I played a RTR campaign through to about 110AD. That was a very long campaign.

However, RS uses UAC for dates.

There is this in the descr_strat.txt file (in data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign):

start_date 536 summer
end_date 853 summer

Interesting,

I was hoping as much there was no such limit, which is awesome and could make you truly simulate the roman empire, even past BC towards the AD.

If that's true, then that means if there ever was a limit then it ends around 117 AD, which means you have over 600 turns per a campaign, so it will be a long campaign indeed.

and thanks as this is good to know, as I know I won't have to rush, because I'm sure the AI has massive amounts of settlements it needs to conquer to before it can achieve victory status.
