Editing year of play

[mpescatori]

Has it ever happened to anybody that you approach year 2000 (20 years to end of game) and suddenly one or two AIs gang up on you?

You'll say, "sure, happens all the time..."

BUT

Doesn't it make you angry when you fight them off, only to obtain victory (and resume building your spaceship) only by 2018 or 2019, when it's obviously toooo late to shoot off and conquer the universe ?



Sooo... how can I open the .sav file and edit the year of the game, in order to reset it ?
OR
How can I edit whatever file in order to go on ahead to at least year 2400 ?

The game lets you go beyond 2020, it just does not record your score. The rivals gang up on you anytime they feel you are winning regardless of the date. With proper planning you can win many turns before the end date. Come one over to the GOTM forum and see for yourself.
