[NOT A BUG] Just...One...More...Turn...NOT! Button is black!

[Thorn]

I finally reached the end of my first Civ5 game in 2050ad. I lost (no surprise there) but the "Wait! Just...one...more...turn" button is black and I can't continue!
I can only exit to the main menu.

I know there's another thread floating around here somewhere with a similar issue. But my search-fu is weak.

I think there's an option if you want to start an infinite turns game in th game set up/

The bug is more:

- turn on the Time limit victory condition
- play until 2050
- the button "just one more turn" shows up... and does nothing

But I have yet to get a game to that point...

Exactly. My wife just finished a game and the same thing happened to her.

The thread has bubbled up to the top of the General forum:

Why is JUST ONE MORE TURN grayed out!?

Thanks! That thread mentions a check box in advanced options that lets you keep playing after 2050ad. I didn't see such an option. There is an option called 'Max Turns' that is unchecked. When you check it you can enter a number between 0 and 999. That just means you specify a SET number of turns to play (ie, the game will end after 999 turn).
So, is there a way to keep playing after the game ends???

Well, I guess that this is by design - if its a "time victory" then you can't carry on playing indefinitely.

That's still a bad design though. You can keep playing after every other victory, why not time victory?

And why grey the button out? Just to taunt people that they forgot to select an option in advanced settings?

If the other victory conditions let you do "just one more turn" at the end, but being past 2050 in a time-limit game does not, then it's broken in that particular case.
