I think the game basically currently works the same a Rome. That is, it is calibrated in most ways to 1/2 year per turn on things like aging, seasons and movement points.

The game is designed to last about 220 turns, which was about the same as RTW:BI.

The 2 years per turn really just lets those 200 turns last 400 years instead of 100, so they can have certain historical events come in when they are supposed to.

Anyway, although it does result in a few odditities (like wives who outlive their husbands by 120 years) I find it doesn't impact my enjoyment of the game much at all. You can, of course, simply keep playing after the game ends as well, so I'm not sure why people are so concerned about modding for more turns.
