How do I turn Time Victory off?

[Rainwalker]

As the title says.
I looked in the advanced options and did not see it. Checked here on the forums, did a qucik google, nothing showed up.

I am likely being very stupid and missing the option to turn it off somewhere in game, and I do hope that this is the case, because if not, I find it a major mistake to force us to play with it on.

Indeed, my wife almost never plays any kind of video games, execpt CIV 5. She is hooked. Yet we both despised the time victory, as it often led to the AI winning with points just a few turns before we could win with another alternate victory.
There is no enjoyment nor anticipation with a time victory for us, it just sucks the life right of the game for us and we need the option to turn it off.

If there really is no option to remove the time victory from the game, then I must reach out to any good person who would kindly make a mod so as to give us the option to turn it off. I am quite sure I am not the only one wanting this option.

Thanks for reading.

There is no time victory...

[Arcanestomper]

Looking at the advanced setup there is an option to end the game when the max turns are reached. But it's off by default.

Yes there is. I have been playing this game since I woke up this morning (I live in Japan) and I was playing through on Sputnik difficulty, just to learn the game, when I suddenly lost due to time victory of the only other AI on the map.

There are listed 5 victory conditions, which you can turn on or off under the Advanced tab, but none of them are Time Victory. There is an explaination in game called "The End of Time" which states that the player who has the most points at the end of the 500th turn (on standard speed) automatically wins - yet there seems to be no way whatsoever to turn this off.

Has anyone found an answer to this yet?

I still have no idea how to turn the Time Victory off.

In advanced options, there's an option in the checklist on the bottom-right for "Time Victory". It is disabled by default [at least for me], so you might have enabled it accidentally. Just uncheck it and you should be fine. Make sure as well that the enemy actually won a time victory and not another.

I see no "Time Victory" option at all anywhere. All I see is the "Max Turns" option, which has always been turned off.
I also checked in the Hall of Fame and it states that the AI won a "Time Victory" on turn 330 for Quick mode.

Have you had the game end with a time victory when max turns were turned off?

[GhostSpartan]

Yes the game still ends in a time voctory with max turns turned off.

Yes.
My first playthrough was just to learn the game, myself and one AI on Quick mode.
I got up to the 330th turn when I suddenly lost. I checked in the Hall of Fame and it states that I lost due to "Time Victory" and yes the max turns were turned off. I highly doubt that I would unknowingly click on Max turns and type in the number 330 without realizing it.

If you go into "Other" and then the "Civilopedia" there is a tab on the left "Victory". Under this tab there is one called "The end of time" which explains that the game ends when the game reaches turn 500 on Standard mode (it varies with game speed) with the highest point player winning the game.
The other 5 victory conditions listed are the ones that can be turned on or off within the Advanced screen when making a game.

This is my point. Any of the 5 other victory conditions - Purity, Harmony, Supremecy, Contact or Domination - can be turned on or off, but NOT time victory.

Actually you can.

Go to your assets/gameplay/xml/gameinfo folder and open the CivBEGameSpeeds.xml file with notepad.

Scroll down to the bottom and you will see the following lines:

<GameSpeed_Turns>
<Row>
<GameSpeedType>GAMESPEED_QUICK</GameSpeedType>
<MonthIncrement>18</MonthIncrement>
<TurnsPerIncrement>330</TurnsPerIncrement>
</Row>
<Row>
<GameSpeedType>GAMESPEED_STANDARD</GameSpeedType>
<MonthIncrement>12</MonthIncrement>
<TurnsPerIncrement>500</TurnsPerIncrement>
</Row>
<Row>
<GameSpeedType>GAMESPEED_EPIC</GameSpeedType>
<MonthIncrement>8</MonthIncrement>
<TurnsPerIncrement>750</TurnsPerIncrement>
</Row>
<Row>
<GameSpeedType>GAMESPEED_MARATHON</GameSpeedType>
<MonthIncrement>4</MonthIncrement>
<TurnsPerIncrement>1500</TurnsPerIncrement>
</Row>
</GameSpeed_Turns>

Simply change the <TurnsPerIncrement>330</TurnsPerIncrement> lines from 330 or whatever to 55000 or whatever you want (0 maybe?) save the file and you're all set.

While this works...it's definitely not the solution I'd recommend..Shrug changes a mechanic of the game in a way that forces you to change it back if you want it on....

this is my solution and allows one to disable/enable time victory as normal

Im actually curious how anyone gets to a time limit in this game anyway. Even on its hardest setting it seems nearly impossible not to win long before that with the game as easy as it currently is.
That said, it was my understanding this game was meant to have no time limit. STill if it is an issue, change turn limit to 999. I cant believe anyone can milk a game out that long.
