Can we get this to function with the historical speed mod? I'm in the ancient age but it's already 271 B.C.

The mode is changing the max turn limit to 384 on standard speed for some reason

oops! it doesn't work with mod Harmony with Diversity v1.2 while on marathon game pace. it is 1602AD but still in classic era!!

@timevdo @Dunkler In standard speed I noticed that sometimes and not always it reported the name of the dates of the correct great works like 430 AD for example. Epic speed and epic marathon bring May or January, not the correct date. This bug should be fixed, very useful mod, I gave points because I like the mod a lot. Adjust the dates for greater historical accuracy. The problem of the dates of the great works must be solved.

This mod changes max turn limit to 384 on standard speed, not 500 as is normal.

@timevdo Please, one question: When I enable this mod, I can see that max number of turns is changed - for example it shows 480 turns instead of 500 turns for standard speed... is it just UI error or is it making game "shorter"?

This is definitely an improvement to the ingame calendar. It was always a little weird when I'd be launching Mars colonies and making thermonuclear devices in the 1600s. At least the late 1800s and early 1900s is more accurate. Actually, in a smaller map, I once was lined up almost perfectly with real time due to a smaller empire which in turn meant a smaller science and culture output. All in all, this is a pretty great mod if one is looking for accuracy.

@timevdo
You mean your mod is a kind of correlation table between two lists of number of years per turn ?
That is :
40 -> 20
20 -> 10
10 -> 5
5 -> 2
2 -> 1
1 -> 0.5 ?
Is this right ?
If so I have two questions :
- does this work whatever the game speed you choose ?
- what is the exact formula (or the correlation table) ?

First of all: I love this mod.

I noticed through the later game that the great works are tagged to be produced in "January" oder "June" instead of real full dates like "1728" or something. At some point it is no longer possible to retrace when a great work was produced and which one is older than the other one.

Just curious if this mod makes the graphics accurate... i mean, when i enter renaissance my traders transform from camels to trucks and my cities already have huge skyscrapers....

The pace of the game is unaffected, only the year that is displayed in game and on the timeline is changed.

So just to be clear, this doesn't affect the pace of the game at all, but only adjusts the calendar to match whatever pace is set by the tech/civic development of the civs in game?
If so, this is long overdo. It's frustrated me since I picked up the series with Civ V that the calendar was completely unrelated to the actual pace of the game. Discovering spaceflight in the 1600's just feels wrong.

No, @nana. The mod simply adjusts the number of years per turn so that the modern era will most likely coincide with the late 19th or early 20th century. If you are very far ahead or behind you will enter the modern era much earlier or later.

so no matter how many civs are beyond modern era, the modern era will always begin at turn where the year reacehes 1900?

Glad someone made this separate from the pacing mod, didn't like everything that entailed.

Very interesting

@changeling The early modern era is supplemented by the industrial era

Thank you for doing this! The one nitpick I've had since civ 4 was the calendar never lined up. Very immersion breaking! gonna try this out now

An explanation to all who ask: The mod works by changing the number of years that elapse per turn for any given era. The science/culture cost for techs and civics is unchanged!

@Moyocoya This MOD doesn't adjust research time, for that you would need something like the 'Plenty of Time' mod.

Bois...the mod simply changes date displayed for when choosing starting eras. i.e If you pick Modern era, the game starts in 1888 with the technology of the era. Nowhere in the description the guy states that he touches the technology tree at all. It's simply for aesthetics.

What's the point exactly? I would be glad to have planes and tanks rolling around in 1200 while my enemies are still trying to sit on a horse.

In other words, what does this mod exactly changes ? How does it work ?
You know I have found a mod that fixes in a very simple and perfect way this calendar problem. The only disadventage it has : you need to play epic games (which fits to many people). So I'd like to have more details on this one :-)

@M1sf1r3
My question was not clear enough, it seems. The date will be related to eras. OK.
But will it be related to science and culture ?

@Moyocoya, its the date not the research speed.

Does your mod prevent the discovering planes in 1320 ? Or rather does it prevent that the date is 1320 when one discovers planes ? Or does it only changes the relationship between the calendar and eras ?

>i.e. the modern era will start in the 19th or 20th century, not in the 1600s

TBF, The 16th century is the the Early Modern Period.

The Early Modern Period ending around 1820, moving onto the Modern period.

Academically, anyway.

Um. This is amazing. Thank you so much. It is SO immersion breaking to be industrialized in the 1200s

I am surprised nobody has commented on this mod. This is a really great idea and I have confirmed that it does work with GS. How exactly does this mod work? does it detect the tech advancements and determine the year based on that?
