If this is in fact true, then the implications are worrisome, to say the least....
No year display at all? That's nuts. It doesn't let you put anything that's happening in a game into a historical context. I don't want to have to drag out a calculator or a chart and figure out that Turn #43 is more-or-less-kinda-like 1166. I want to know if the date is 1166.

Maybe I'm misreading what he's saying.
