What is the relationship between displayed turn and actual round number? Enter the AD-FREE zone

Didn't like creating a new thread on this but can't find table via search or in FAQ page.

What is the table of showing the relationship between turns and years that pass.

What I have been able to recreate:

Turn 1-25, each turn is 48 years

Turns 100-125, each turn is 20 years

Turns 175-225, each turn is 10 years

Turns 275-325, each turn is 5 years

Turns 475-540, each turn is 1 year.



Does anyone have a table showing where the elapsed time changes between years?

The right table would be:

Years Y. per T. Turns

4000 BC - 2750 BC 50 25
2750 BC - 1750 BC 40 25
1750 BC - 750 BC 25 40
750 BC - 250 AD 20 50
250 AD - 1250 AD 10 100
1250 AD - 1750 AD 5 100
1750 AD - 1950 AD 2 100
1950 AD - 2050 AD 1 100

TheDarkCavalier -

If you want to get technical... In Civ3 "time", time doesn't exist between turns or pass while turns are being played. You can leave your game idle for long periods, and (AFAIK) the date will never change until you actually end your turn and the AI are finished with their moves for the current date. The next "moment" in time will be the date of the next turn.

Your table deals with time as a continuum, and would be more suited for real life time measurements. Both our tables were also flawed in how 4000BC and 2050BC are handled. 4000BC is a complete turn and should be counted as such, while 2050 is an incomplete turn and should not count. We both had this reversed. Assuming that 2050BC doesn't count as a turn, the total number of turns (540) was correct in each table.

The table should be:

4000BC 1 turn, N/A years from previous turn
3950BC - 2750BC 25 turns, 50 years from previous turn
2710BC - 1750BC 25 turns, 40 years from previous turn
1725BC - 750BC 40 turns, 25 years from previous turn
730BC - 250AD 50 turns, 20 years from previous turn
260AD - 1250AD 100 turns, 10 years from previous turn
1255AD - 1750AD 100 turns, 5 years from previous turn
1752AD - 1950AD 100 turns, 2 years from previous turn
1951AD - 2050AD 100* turns, 1 year from previous turn

*2050AD is not a full turn, only a few automated events happen.
