Legendary Speed

Make your game ~5x longer, with production set to your desired game speed.

An ultra-marathon tech/civic speed with standard production and makes several key changes to retain balance between calendar dates, eras, and increased cities and population. Eras are longer and the Calendar progress is slowed to more closely match historical entry into each era. CO2 production is reduced to match increased tech/civic cost and slowed calendar/era progress.

Tech/Civic/GP cost x12 increasing by 3x per era (36x in future era)
Era minimum increased by 5.2x; maximum increased by 4.2x
Calendar slowed to 1/3.04 normal rate
CO2 production slowed to 1/15 normal rate

Expected Era starts as follows:
Classical Era: Turn 208 - 252 (1261BC - 815BC)
Medieval Era: Turn 416 - 504 (538AD - 1021AD)
Renaissance Era: Turn 624 - 756 (1396AD - 1651AD)
Industrial Era: Turn 832 - 1008 (1756AD - 1857AD)
Modern Era: Turn 1040 - 1260 (1868AD - 1941AD)
Atomic Era: Turn 1248 - 1512 (1937AD - 1993AD)
Information Era: Turn 1456 - 1764 (1984AD - 2035AD)
Furture Era: Turn 1664 - 2016 (2019AD - 2077AD)

Science/turn expectation to complete all techs/civs for each era within 250 turns:
Ancient: 30
Classic: 77
Medieval: 177
Renaissance: 449
Industrial: 664
Modern: 825
Atomic: 1230
Information: 1930

Works with any game speed, please turn off turn limits (or manually set it to 2250 turns for standard speed - this will mean you will have approximately 250 turns in the future era although you will most likely finish the space race before then).

Amenities should remain low until the modern era (due to the number of cities you could expect to have); I have not made changes to amenities because I feel this is quite realistic, your ancestors lived, on average, miserable existences of very few luxuries.


OPTIONAL SETTINGS:
No Barbarians - slows down turn processing time, encampments might give too much era score resulting in permanent golden eras.
No Tribal Villages - might give too much era score resulting in permanent golden eras.
Huge Map or larger - tech/civic increase tailored around having 3x the number of cities that you would have in an unmodded game so having that space to expand will help in keeping you ahead of the curve.


RECOMMENDED MODS:
Optimised World - Syphillis (This is the map this mod was originally made for as it could take 60+ turns for a unit to make it from Asia to Europe or 30+ turns for a navy to sail from England to Australia)
Combat Related Adjustments - Masked Man (to help with preventing AI warrior carpet)
Harder Era - ActJustly.LoveMercy.WalkHumbly (to reduce permanent golden era)
