Turns per 1,000 years figures for Culture Vultures
Here are some more figures that you might find handy for calculating your progress through the game. They are especially worth noting if you are trying to achieve a Culture victory as you will be trying to get the 1000 year points doubling bonus on as many Temples, Libraries, Wonders etc. as soon as possible.
In some cases the game does not hit the exact 1000 year mark but these are as close as it will get. Apart from the first one, each 1000 follows a consistent pattern the first 250 or 240 years pass at the old rate, and the rest progress at the new rate (see chart at bottom of the post).
As you can see, the first 2,000 years passes in 48 turns, whereas 50 turns gets you a mere 50 years at the end of the game. So try and get your point scoring improvements in EARLY!
4,000 3,000 BC 20 turns
3,000 2,000 BC 24
2,000 1,000 BC 36
1,000 - 1 AD (0??) 48
1AD(0?) - 1,000 AD 87
1,000 2,000 AD 275
2,000 2,050 AD 50
Total 540
And in case you missed the other locations of the basic turns/years figures, here they are again:
4,000 2,750 BC 25 turns in 50 year jumps
2,710 1,750 BC 25 turns in 40 year jumps
1,725 - 750 BC 40 turns in 25 year jumps
730BC- 250 AD 50 turns in 20 year jumps
260 - 1,250 AD 100 turns in 10 year jumps
1,255 - 1,750 AD 100 turns in 5 year jumps
1,752 1,950 AD 100 turns in 2 year jumps
1,951 2,050 AD 100 turns in 1 year jumps
