Need Help: Making longer games

[greenday_234]

I was recently editing the XML file GameSpeedInfo to make my game last 3000 turns, however I found that the values that needed to be changed to make a longer game don't corrolate with the total number of actually game turns. How does this work? Is there an equation to be done that will give me actual turns or am I just missing something

Thanx

If you make sure to make turns rather than years, it should work. My mod with the following works fine:

     <GameTurnInfos>
        <GameTurnInfo>
          <iYearIncrement>25</iYearIncrement>
          <iTurnsPerIncrement>200</iTurnsPerIncrement>
        </GameTurnInfo>
        <GameTurnInfo>
          <iYearIncrement>15</iYearIncrement>
          <iTurnsPerIncrement>200</iTurnsPerIncrement>
        </GameTurnInfo>
        <GameTurnInfo>
          <iYearIncrement>10</iYearIncrement>
          <iTurnsPerIncrement>300</iTurnsPerIncrement>
        </GameTurnInfo>
        <GameTurnInfo>
          <iYearIncrement>5</iYearIncrement>
          <iTurnsPerIncrement>100</iTurnsPerIncrement>
        </GameTurnInfo>
        <GameTurnInfo>
          <iYearIncrement>3</iYearIncrement>
          <iTurnsPerIncrement>100</iTurnsPerIncrement>
        </GameTurnInfo>
        <GameTurnInfo>
          <iYearIncrement>2</iYearIncrement>
          <iTurnsPerIncrement>100</iTurnsPerIncrement>
        </GameTurnInfo>
        <GameTurnInfo>
          <iYearIncrement>1</iYearIncrement>
          <iTurnsPerIncrement>200</iTurnsPerIncrement>
        </GameTurnInfo>
      </GameTurnInfos> 

This produces a total of 1200 turns (sum of all the turnsperincrement numbers). The total number of years is
12200, and my mod has a start date of 10000BC, so it ends in 2200.
