Civ3: Number of turns
Hi,
got interested in how many turns there really are and heres what I found
Form 4000 BC to 2750 BC each turn 50 years
Form 2750 BC to 1750 BC each turn 40 years
Form 1750 BC to 750 BC each turn 25 years
Form 750 BC to 250 AD each turn 20 years
Form 250 AD to 1250 AD each turn 10 years
Form 1250 AD to 1750 AD each turn 5 years
Form 1750 AD to 1950 AD each turn 2 years
Form 1950 AD to 2050 AD each turn 1 year
Leadind to 541 turns, if 2050 is still playable year. If not then 540 turns.
I'll attach an graph, where you can see how years and turns behave.

bored ehh? 
Is this unaffected by difficulty level? I think that is what is in the manual (like I would believe that )

Why should I be bored?
No I was just interested in it, since wanted to compare to SMAC and see how many turns a game actuually take. (In SMAC it 1turn = 1year whole game)
And it was is to to as I last night won my recent game to take the years down in replay showing.

I think it was like 400 turns at deity until the final score was calculated. You could keep playing if you hadn't won by then.

Cann't say about Civ2, but in SMAC it was 400 turns IIRC
Another thing is the calculation with year 0.
(A question is that is there a year 0 or didi it go from 1BC to 1 AD)
In Civ3 they solved this one nice.
We have 10 BC and then a 20 year leap into 10 AD.
(So porblem avoided  )

There was no year 0, that is why the real millenium is this year, 2001. 2002 is only 1999 years away from 1 AD.

You'll notice 750 BC to 250 AD is 20 years ... they're odd numbered multiples of 10, so we go from 10 BC to 10 AD

Probably still 1 year, if you want to play that far.
