What is the last playable year

[Budwise]

What year does the game come to an end, what happens when that year comes up and can I give myself more years without changing the start date?

The game ends in 1453 IIRC, you can change the date if you got VI, it's quite simple.

Don't worry about it sneaking up on you. The game gives you a reminder around 5 years left.

[Budwise]

First, how do you change it with VI, which I have and don't worry, you have five years left? You try finishing off the world in five years.

[Zarax]

Look in the campmap/startpos folder.
Find the campaign you want to play and add this under "late era start":

SetGameEndDate:: 1066

Replace 1066 with any year you want.

How do you do that OUTSIDE OF VI, I want to do it in the main game.
