I'm trying to design a scenario right now, but didn't know where I should look to change the start date and the time frame for each turn. So let's say I wanted a game to start in 1000 AD, and each turn to be a month, and there to be 200 turns, what do I need to motify to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Try this with the map you want by going into the map with notepad:
BeginGame
Era=ERA_ANCIENT
Speed=GAMESPEED_NORMAL
Calendar=CALENDAR_MONTHS
ForceControl=FORCECONTROL_SPEED
ForceControl=FORCECONTROL_VICTORIES
ForceControl=FORCECONTROL_MAX_TURNS
Victory=VICTORY_CONQUEST
GameTurn=0
MaxTurns=200
MaxCityElimination=0
TargetScore=0
StartYear=1000
Description=
ModPath=
EndGame

You can also change anything else here also.
