Limit of 2050AD how to remove that??

On the Scenario Properties dialog box. Check the Time Limit checkbox. This allows you to set how many turns are in the game. 540 is the default that will take you to 2050. Increase the number and your game will go longer. The widget goes up to 1000 turns. To be honest, I haven't tried a game where I set it higher.

oh, so its not part of the default settings then :/

Warpstorm,

Thanks. I was hoping I could set up a game that started you from nothing and allowed you to build however you wanted.

And in case you hadn't been to civfanatics for a while, thanks for your watercolour terrain set. Keep up the artful endevours. I love the feel of the game with that look. Now all I have to do is something for the music to compliment the look.

You don't need the editor.
If you start a new game, look in the middle of the "Player setup" Screen, there is a button called "Game Limits".
There you can change how many turns are in the game.

In the Scenario Properties, why is it that the turns add up to 440, not 540??

Is it because there are now only 440 turns in PTW, that someone did an "oops!", or that there are "100 turns @ 1 unit/turn" following the ones listed?

There are 100 turns @ 1 unit/turn

For a non technical answer I'm sure you can find plenty of helpful strategy threads here for getting techs faster. I usually have my science research up as far as I can get it. For more money I try to grab as many luxuries and resources as I can and sell them to the AI at a good price. Build plenty of roads.

One question for you guys...
I've been following this thread, but I don't have PTW yet.

If time limits are extended to, let's say 750 turns, does that mean:

• There will be more turns between 4000BC and 2050AD
  
  OR
  
• The game will start before 4000BC and end after 2050AD?

It wasn't quite clear from your answers.

Thanks for the advice.

I believe the game would still start at 4000 BC, but run beyond 2050 AD.

Ok, I went ahead and quasi-tested this. I started a single player LAN game (since the option to increase the amount of turns isn't avialable through the single player setup). Any way, I set the number of turns allowed to the maximum (1000). The game started at 4000 BC, so it looks like the game will run longer than 2050...of course, I haven't played that far into it yet (only got to 170 AD), but it looks like its running fine.
