Good question -- there are no answers.

The closest thing to an answer is that in Civilization 3 each turn represented a few years and that number of years got lower and lower as time went on. To the point where it goes from like 500 years per turn in the B.C. period down to 1 year per turn beyond the year 2000 AD.

And welcome to the forums fellow neophyte!
