500 turn limit?

[Chizzard]

Hello, I'm running BTS 3.17 and have been playing a marathon game on the scenario map "Earth 18 civs" when reaching turn 400 a message appeared at the top right corner of the screen, claiming there were 100 turns left before the game would end. I would be delighted if some gentleman could enlight me on this matter.

1. Can I disable the 500 turn limit? So that I could play beyond turn 500 without concluding the game.
2. If the turn limit can be disabled, please provide me with specific instruction to do so!

Thanks

If you (or one of the AI players) hasn't won the game after 500 turns you will get the option to carry on playing. I don't think it records your score if you do though.

Thanks for the info zeo, but it does not make sense at all. The AI civs on marathon speed and huge maps at immortal difficulty by turn 500 are still in the pre-industrial era, how could the game end so fast?????

Marathon?? At epic, the default game length is 750 turns!!??

Playing any mods? Or did you use Advanced Start / start in another era??

Also, disabling time victory, will allow you to play as long as you like, with no penalties.

To disable the time victory as digitCruncher mentioned, go to custom game rather than play now. The table at the far right has all the victory options you can toggle on/off.

Yeah and I am quite sure that marathon is 750 turns just as digitcruncher said

Its a bug. Had the same problem earlier. New versions of the map dont have it anymore, I've read somewhere. Nevertheless I strongly recommend you to install the mod |rise of mankind 2.3|, load it and then play the earth map that comes with it as |custom scenario|, chosing the new snail mode (3046 turns). Its the best game experience ever.

It is possible to win pre-industrial era There are lots of ways to win the game. From what you've described it is possible that one of the AI's is close to a cultural victory. Also, they might be pre-industrial because you're playing on a low difficulty level and are therefore miles ahead of the other players.

Hey thanks guys and especially for the tip to disable time victory. I initially played the game on 3.13 and continued to play it after installing 3.17, I presume the 500 turn limit on marathon has something to do with old 3.13 saves played in 3.17.

There's no way you were playing at Marathon with only 500 turns in the game. That speed runs for 1500 turns.

It's 1500 actually. 750 is for Epic.

I checked the speed by pressing the setting button and it said "marathon speed" so i guess its a more of a bug than an error on my side
