Change start year?

[ElConejo]

How do I change the start year from 5000 BC to 1 AD? I'd like to make my Mod start off at 1 instead of 5,000. Anyone who can let me know where I need to go to change it, there is just simply too many lines of XML for me to search.. Thanks in advance.

An easy way to do it is just do it in the map, but if you always want to start that year with any map, then you need to look in the files someplace. You can go by months here also.

Spoiler :

BeginGame
Era=ERA_ANCIENT
Speed=GAMESPEED_EPIC
Calendar=CALENDAR_DEFAULT
Victory=VICTORY_TIME
Victory=VICTORY_CONQUEST
Victory=VICTORY_DOMINATION
Victory=VICTORY_CULTURAL
Victory=VICTORY_SPACE_RACE
Victory=VICTORY_DIPLOMATIC
GameTurn=0
MaxTurns=0
MaxCityElimination=0
TargetScore=0
StartYear=1
Description= KHARAKA - by strategyonly
ModPath=
EndGame

Ah! That grouping of code will be very helpful! What XML file is that in?

Thanks

if you want change the start year for all the game you will play, that's in the globalDefine file, you have one line :

<Define>
<DefineName>START_YEAR</DefineName>
<iDefineIntVal>-4000</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>
