How long have I got

[johncross21]

The question is how many turns are there at normal speed from the outset of the game to the end. I could work it out but the time taken by each turn varies over time. You lot know (or know where to find out)

It woud be useful to know when the turns do speed up. someone knows (or know where to find out)

Cheers

Rough figures:

400 turns at normal.
600 turns at epic.
1200 at marthon.

I'm not sure about quick speed.

I have to disagree with the above. Maybe the values are from the warlords expansion, but anyways I get these values directly from the XML-file, CIV4GameSpeedInfo.xml.
