  • One for the mathmeticians

    There may be an obvious way to do this, but i sure haven't found it. How many turns are there in a game? (If it depends on difficulty do whatever)
    17
    This is workoutable, but i really can't be bothered
    76.47%
    13
    I'll get back to you........
    11.76%

    Impossible without actually counting

      As many as it takes you to play .

      From 4000 BC, each turn counts as 20 years. From some other year, it counts as 10, then 5, finally 1. I'm sure someone knows when those borders are.

          My last game, I had World War I with Tanks and Marines around 1700. World War II was with Modern Armor by 1800.

                It's 50 years when in the Ancient Era.

                    use gramphos' multitool, edit a savegame and check the years... i can't do it, since MT doesn't work with v1.29f yet.

                    afaik, the total sum of moves is somewhere around 500.

                        CTP2 told you the turn count every time you looked at one of the power graphs. Is knowing the turn count important to having fun? No but it is attention to details like that which seporate the excellent game from the average game.

                          Since that's 7 increments, and there's only 4 eras, how is it decided when it moves on to the next increment?

                            era comes by tech, the turn-lengths are hardcoded.

                            if you place 16 civs on a standard map at diety level, modern era is reached around 1 AD !! but turn lengths are something like 10 years / turn.

                            damnit, i just can't find the chart ;(

                              540 turns total. Read it here quite some time ago. OTOH, I have an actual chart of the turns which I downloaded, and it shows
                              560 turns, so perhaps the 540 was either wrong or my memory circuits shorted.
