Modifying the end_date - is it possible?

Also, you will never get there anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Where will I never get to?
Is that impossible to play till 14 AD? Is there any bug or crash or whatever that prevents the player from reaching that date?

BTW: why 14 Ad and not any other date?

And what about the infamous "66 BC bug"? Is that finally removed in EB 1.0?

How can anyone play one faction for over 1100 turns?

(272+14)X4=1144 turns.

Surely that is more than enough?

AD14 was choosen for no real reason. It is the death of Avgvstvs, but it doesn't really matter. I don't believe anyone has ever gotten to the end date. If you play that long, there will be no other factions left and the entire map will be yours.

I think the 66BC crash is still in there. I heard recently that it is impossible to get rid of. Though it only appears for the factions that are Roman (for EB that is Arche Seleukeia, Hayasdan, and Baktria). Again, I don't think anyone has ever gotten there.

Whats this?

First I've heard of it.

Though, as you say, it doesn't seem like a game breaking bug...

In 66BC, the game will force the Roman civil war to start, if you have not started it already. If there is no Senate faction, the game will crash. I thought it was gone with RTW v1.5 or when you renamed the Senate faction (the slot is called "saba" internally), but apparently it still remains. I guess nobody has ever played EB that long to find out, though.

.
Maybe pull back the end date to 67 BC then?

I presume it won't hit with BI.exe or Alex.exe...

Probably. I could quite happily have played my Roman game down to 31BC, that was my intent. As it was I only managed as far as 133BC before serious bugs killed it.
