Game Length

Hey i was wondering if it would mess anything up if i increased the amount of years the game ran for (assuming it is possible)

**Lansa** · March 05, 2012, 02:18 PM

Why do you need do haha? I've had my AS file running for about a year and I'm only at 136BC

**Bob Doad** · March 05, 2012, 02:41 PM

idk i really just want to do it to do it and after i stabilize my land i want to just sit around and play more historically

No need bob... You have 4tpy and it goes from 272 BC to 14 AD.
4x258=1032 turns.

**Lansa** · March 05, 2012, 03:15 PM

It's even more than that actually; 272BC to 14AD is 286 (or 287? I'm nevere sure how 0AD/BC works out) years or 1144 turns. The point remains though, what can you possibly not have enough time for in those many turns?

Well Lansa there was no year zero or at least this is what i m studying at college and following the point of views of some authors, both classical and some of our own days

Your right, I took 14 from 272

I had adjusted mine up to summer 1453 and I havent got problems.

Unless you feel like extending the 4 turns per year script anything after 14AD will be back to the 2 turns per year of vanilla.

But why?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Constantinople

ie The end of the Roman Empire.

**Ferdiad** · March 06, 2012, 04:34 PM

I know that, but in gameplay terms its a useless change that has no impact.

**bobbin** · March 06, 2012, 05:14 PM

Errm, so he can play more turns?

**Ferdiad** · March 06, 2012, 05:23 PM

I serously doubt he played 1000+ turns.

**Bob Doad** · March 06, 2012, 05:33 PM

i never said i did..yet...but wat if i wanna turtle cause its fun?

But in all seriousness i was playing a campaign on 130 BC and didnt stop except it just kept crashing so yea i intend to play for a while

I had played around 120 turns up to now. 1453 for me is the end of all the ancient world which we well know and after that guns, and more modern weapons appear. And also like he said in this year Byzantia is destroyed.

Yes but I can guarantee you will quit before you even get near that date. What Im saying that changing the date in EB is effectively useless, it has no impact on play.
