turn/time moddable?
from Jeff Morris's GameSpy interview:

Yeah, the problem with that is the modified tech tree, artwork and how it heavily modifies the game. Turns in a WWII scenario don't really work if one turn represents a year. Rather than take that upon ourselves, we're letting the people who really love the history of the eras do it. We're giving them the tools to do it.
|
Does this mean we can set what unit of time one turn represents?

I think yes.
In civ2 the wwII scenario one turn represented 2 months.
You will propably be allowed to modify the time rate in the editor.

hi ,
there should be something like this inside the game ;
every turn between year Y and X = 1 year
every turn between Y and X = 5 years
something in this nature would be great
what is also needed is a start and end date for scenarios
have a nice day

That's a good idea.

We were told by a Firaxian that the time step could not be changed.
