Why not start dating from the traditional date of founding of Rome, the Eternal City, as the Romans did ? Ab urbe condita or however they now put it.

"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Cause they're just one faction. If we really did go with another dating system, it'd be one that was common over more of the map at our starting time roughly. That wouldn't be A.U.C. for sure. It probably would be Olympiad dating or something like that, but that really wouldn't do either, so we just use dating most players will understand. We've had serious discussions over this and realized it's just not possible to change this part of the game engine (if you could alter dating based upon faction or culture, now *that* would be awesome).

Maybe someone should release a minimod for the roman campian changing the dates? If I rember there is a mod that enances rome alot. Which I'll play onece a) I get a unsolvable ctd or 2) I rule the world.
Re: question on dates b.c to ad
A good idea would be to count the turns instead of years (instead of 271BC, turn 4) Thus, it would eliminate inconcistencies like conquering the carthagineans with the romans in 250BC...
Hey... now that I think about it...
how do muslims and jews count their years???
