Saved games keep getting max turns?

[sw204me]

So me and a friend have been playing online a lot, and I make it a point to only allow domination wins and to make sure max turns IS NOT checked. Yet, every time we play, when I load up a saved game, it always shows "Max turns: 330"? I never check the box and yet every game we've played it gets converted over to a game where it will stop at 330 turns? Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix it?

Well, I guess you are playing on Quick, as that is standard for any Multiplayer match.
The max amound of turns on Quick is 330. So that's explains it. After 330 turns, the one with the highest score wins.
If you don't want any of that, you can either turn off Time Victory (game will just go on until someone wins any other victory) or play on Standard Speed (500 max turns), Epic Speed (750) or Marathon (1500).
Note, when moving up on speed, producion and research times will increase as well of course.

Oh heck, I had no idea that's what was causing it. Well bugger, that explains it. I always turn off time victory cause we want to go till we just take over the world, but it kept throwing that max turn crap on there even though I wasn't checking that box. I thought the speed of the game determined how fast research was? Wouldn't 'Marathon' just make the research so godly long that we still wouldn't be able to get to the all out war with advanced units by the time runs out?

I think there is a mod available that extends the game beyond max turns.

but mods don't work online do they? Me and my friend downloaded a map to play and we can't load it. (I made another thread about that cause I don't know how to get it to work and I was getting conflicting data from Google searches)
