The nightmare to have Conquest with a turn limit

The scoring (even under standard Civ3) stops at this turn and a winner is decided. You can keep playing if you want to. A standard Civ game, BTW, has 540 turns from 4000BC to 2050AD. The 1000 turn limit is probably enough.

hi ,

some people would like to see it more at 2500 or even 10 000 turns , ......

have a nice day

Don't you wish for very, very huge maps as well ? (and of course the removal of the city limit)

hi ,

2500 turns should be the min , city limit should be times three , no more , we dont want to cripple the AI , .....

well 362X362 seems to be loved by many , but the future lays in a 480X480 map , ......

have a nice day

[Kuciwalker]

please, please be joking about the 2500 turns...

[Sheik]

With that many turns we would need the ability to add eras, many eras.

whew, if i even get to the 1700's I get bored with it, the industrial ages and all that present day stuff, BORING... I'll go watch CNN if I wanna hear about that sorta stuff...

I dont mind a game that keeps going, especially If I'm in the lead, But after the cities are all settled and all the land is taken, I just want to sit back and make my people as happy as can be,,,.. But NOPE, the evil computer dictators want MY land,.... why Mine, Why not someone elses, Bah, I tell them... Goodbye... and I exit the program, and start a new one tommorrow,

I've finished ONCE, becuase someone did the UN in the 1800's and I was voted 2nd.... Game Over...

[Sheik]

I find my games start to get boring when I know I have the game won and there is nothing extra I have to do.

Ok, that may be...but the maximum setting that the game will allow you to put in is 1000.

By the way, does any one know what 1000 equates to? (ie, 540 turns is 2050AD...so 1000 turns would be what?)

[Kuciwalker]

2510, because by that time 1 turn = 1 month.

[Wittlich]

Ah, Ok. Thanks Skywalker.

um.. at 1 month, +460 turns would be 38 years...

I'll assume you mean 1 year...

I modded the game into months, the start of the game is 10 years (120 months) but nearing the last 150 turns its down to 2 months a turn, Makes the 'movement of boats : troops, more reasonable,

hi ,

after a long talk , true two different languages , it comes to this ;

the limit ( 540 or 1000 ) is the limit that the score is registered , after that you can play but no score is registered , ...

so , is this true , or is it not , ......

have a nice day

[Wittlich]

Yes, the purpose of the "Turn Limit" is the limit that the scores will be registered. It's just that, as of yet, I have not played to the 1000 turn limit - one of the victory conditions always kicks in before the 1000 turns elapses.

CtP2 went 1000 turns and was packed with techs, incuding cool future techs to 2300ad, to keep things very interesting, especially when you get undersea cities. Too bad they dumped the space colony cities from CtP1, those were cool. The early turns are 20 years, not 50 years, so the ancent age is represented MUCH better.

I wish Atari and Activision would come together to make a SuperCiv. With the best of Classic Civ and CtP Civ.
