I don't know if this is the right place to post this question :S

I'm looking for a way to increase the amount of turns in a random map game, it seems just as the game begins to get interesting it ends. Is there any way to increase the number of turns in a random game? I don't wanna do a scenario cause then I can't enter the hall of fame :P, same goes for continuing after the game finishes. Any help?

On the second game setup screen where you choose a civ, there should be a button called "Game Limits". You can change the number of turns here, along with many other parameters.

thanks buddy, I feel like a right muppet now that was pretty simple ;)
