      What limits are you talking about? Go to the Game Editor and look at Rules/General Tab and go to Scenario and check the three options, Custom Player, Map and Rules. Now again click the Scenario Properties and see what you might set or change there. After you are statisfied, Save As and then generate a game from these new choices and save again as a scenario with a unique name. Close. Start the regular game, choose Civ Content and find your 'unique named saved newly generated scenario' click and then you will get the normal game start-up with whatever you set in motion in the game editor.

      Good luck, it is easier than it sounds and you can alway default the settings and start again if you goof up.

          ok, when u go to a new game, and are choosing ur civ and difficulty, under the leader flic is two buttons, "description" for the civ, and down a bit is "limits". The maximum amount of turns it allows is 1000..... and I can't change this.

            Well, I believe you are quite correct about that! When I used to play CIV II I boldly set game turns to 1500 plus, however funny thing, I never played a game more than 2 or 3 hundred turns. Have you? The limit I would like to see a work-a-round for is to edit and reset a 'saved game' and use that as a game turn extender, however even that would most likely be unnecessary as even then two or three resets would most likely be all I cared to play, still leaving hundreds of unplayed turns.

            But who likes limits even when it is getting harder and harder to reach them in game play in any practical manner.

              The turn limit in the vanilla Civ3 and PtW epic games was 540 turns (the game ended no later than in 2050AD), so if you are allowed to fire it up to 1000 turns now, it's WAY more than it used to be...

                    I'd like to play more than 540 turns. Is there no way to extend this?

                      Yes in the sceanrio properties IIRC you can set the number of turns. You can also set the time scaling. That is how long each of the periods take such as 50 years for the first 234 turns or what ever it is set at.

                        Thanks, I'll try playing with that. (Monthly turns from the ancient times forward with ultra-slow tech, etc. )

                          when starting a new game you can change it to 1000 turns as well. Almost doubling the limit...

                            That sounds better. I guess what I was asking is what is the theorical maximum?
