the game is limited to 752 turns and begins in the year 380 A.D. and ends in the year 2040 A.D.

I think that was a good idea to try to give more turns for the last 2 eras. I agree that there aren't enough turns in those eras.

I'm confused about how you got defined 8 time periods though. The .biq file only has 7 rows for setting time intervals right?

Will you show us how the intervals are set inside your biq file in the scenario section?
I sort of need to see a good example because the .biq file gets me confused where it says turns and "units".

Anyway, I look forward to playing this mod when you are finished. It should be really fun.

Thanks...

I combined the last two sub-eras into one for purposes of the editor since they both use the same time scale.

Ahhh, that explains it. Thanks. ( I couldn't figure out how you got 8 eras with 7 slots ).

Under "Time Scale" in the biq the first column is the number of turns in each section and the second column refers to the number of years/weeks/months that elapse for each turn in that section.

Thanks, I guess I understood that already but just got confused earlier.

Since I use a truncated time scale from the epic game and I wanted more turns in the later game I use months instead of years. So for the first sub-era "Age Of Despair" I use 120 turns at 60 months.

Age of Despair. That's so cool. And breaking it down into months makes sense, especially for what you are trying to do.

I based these numbers on the estimated number of techs to research in each sub-era and the approximate average time to research those techs.

This part isn't easy, especially if you are like me and change your tech tree all the time...

Anyway, keep up the excellent work!

Looks like Etain left and removed all of his posts. Man, I was looking forward to playing his mod. It looked like it was going to be great. This makes me sad.

Anybody know what happened?

 

[AnthonyBoscia]

No idea... this is a real shame. I was working on a couple units for him, too, and looking forward to playing the mod.

I had PMed him a couple weeks back about his interface, but haven't heard back. Anyone have an email address?

A run-in with a mod perhaps?
