Marathon = 1500 turns
Epic = 750 turns
Standard = 500 turns
Quick = 350 turns
Everything is adjusted according to speed so it takes 50% longer to build things on Epic speed. Movement and combat is still the same though.
I don't ever play on anything but Marathon, but what I do dislike are the extremely long build times. Like, if you're weak and a strong neighbor attacks, it will take close to 20 turns to build a single swordsman compared to 5-6 in standard.

When you get to later in the game you get several turns per year, it comes up with july 1967 for example.
And it's definitely more than 1200 because I just finished a game on turn 1250ish and it was about 2015
i see this list of turns quoted, and i believe it is correct since my marathon game was at turn 1500 at 2050 AD.
