AUC to BC

[Danius]

Is it possible to change AUC to BC?

[rory o'kane]

It's possible, but there's a reason we made the change - the RTW engine dictates that there MUST be a Roman civil war by a certain date BC, which involves the senate declaring war on the player - as I'm sure you remember. We coded out the Senate to use the faction slot for something else, but the triggers are hard coded, so if you get to this date BC, and the Senate isn't there, the game CTDs. Changing the date to AUC lets us bypass that because as far as the game is concerned we're several hundred years after the event.

On a side note, what does (in Hellenic campaigns) S.E. stand for? And how did it come about? I can't find any information on the web and it's always got on my nerves whilst playing!

S.E stands for Seleucid era.

Here's a wikipedia note on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seleucid_era

I figured out that you could get B.C from A.U.C by simply taking the year in A.U.C and subtracting 754 from it, if this gives you a negative number then you have your year in B.C, if it gives you a positive number your into the A.D years.

additionally only subtract 753 if you need to convert the AD date- allows for "0"
