Valid Dates

[St. Leo]

Has anyone tested what the valid date range is in the EU engine? Does it use a signed/unsigned int/long? Is there any annoying bound-checking?

Yesterday I tried setting a scenario starting date to 1392 and it worked.

Well I guess moctezuma should now a fair deal about it since he's made a patch to alter time =)

Check the tools section on my site (scenario generator)

But when you hit the start game button the game jumps to Jan 1st, 1492. Doesn't it?

Itd be nice if I could do a Hundred Years War scenario. No colonization for 200 years though of course =/

You can do the Hundred Years War scenario.

It would be nice to start out in 1092 or so, have maxed all techs by 1392, from there on:TOTAL WAR!!
