This thread will attempt to address the inaccurate calender that happens on various game speeds. With your help we can fix the calender very easily. All you have to do is play a game with a standard map size and keep a log of the game turn, of the first player(Human or AI), to reach an Era. When posting here please say what game speed you were playing on along with your log.

Good idea sir. I think 3-5 would be enough for a good estimate 
I am upto renassiance on Slow speed(used to be Epic I changed it to give the mod more of a custom feel), taken me about 450 turns so far to reach here with the new settings, feels about the right pace, anyone else wishing to try this and give feedback, download the sql at the bottom of this post and extract it too:-

Made some adjustments on the Standard speed side.
Don't know the historical accuracy (used Wiki), but here are the era breakdowns (assumes it takes ~ 75 turns per era):

Don't know the historical accuracy (used Wiki), but here are the era breakdowns (assumes it takes ~ 75 turns per era):
- Ancient about 3200 years (4000BC - 800BC)
- Classical about 1400 years (800BC - 600AD)
- Medieval about 700 years (600AD - 1300AD)
- Renassiance about 450 years (1300AD - 1750AD)
- Industrial about 125 years (1750AD - 1875AD)
- Modern about 95 years (1875 - 1970)
- Post Modern about 40 years (1970 - 2010)
- Future about 30 years (2010AD-2040AD)
It seems okay. Wikipedia is generally quite reliable when it comes to heavily trafficked pages like those relating to history, and shouldn't pose a problem in lightweight research like this. Your history is okay. However, Industrial should go to AD 1930, as that was the year of the Great Depression which changed everything. The modern world started really only in WWII's wake. "Postmodern" or the Digital Era started really only when the Apple II brought computers to the home in AD 1977, so AD 1980 would make a good Digital Era starting point. We've only just started to learn nanotechnology, so Information Era would start c. AD 2015 (nanotech, M theory) and end c. AD 3000 (Warp Field Theory, Wormhole Detection)
