Editing Age turn limits.

[Piglet The Brave]

At first this didn’t appear possible but thecrazyscot discovered something that has changed my mind. He managed to extract or dump Civ 7’s equivalent of Global Parameters file into a cvs file (which he posted on page 2 of the modding discoveries thread) and in that file there are Age turn limit values. He said Civ 7 has separate global parameters for each age (I think), so that would mean modifying each age individually.

The cvs file he posted was specifically for the Antiquity Age, and inside that file were these values,

GAME_AGE_LENGTH_ABBREVIATED,160
GAME_AGE_LENGTH_LONG,240
GAME_AGE_LENGTH_STANDARD,200

And these must be the base turn limits for each age speed in the antiquity age!

I would like to modify these values for all three ages, but I don’t know how as these values are not visible in the normal xml files - I only found out about them when thecrazyscot posted the cvs file.

So my question is - does anyone know how to extract or get this data for all three ages, and then edit it and somehow put it back in the game?

I’m very new to modding, but if someone could just give me some hints I will try to do the work myself. I’ve looked through all the standard xml files and these Age Length values are definitely not in there, so I’m not sure how to get access to them.

Thank you for any assistance.

That's most likely legacy. There's 5 game speeds, not 3. I don't believe there's any actual turn limit to an age. Likely early in development it made sense to have a limit, like they hadn't implemented age progression yet. It's likely not in an xml or js files because it doesn't do anything.

Those aren't gamespeeds, those are age lengths... That is how many age progression points=100%

Sure enough, hidden in advanced setting. I was just trying to get him a reply since he posted nearly two months ago. Seems strange there's no reference to those anywhere. Likely it's in the shell, but I forget where they hid those scripts.
