Age Progression Customization

Adds game setup options for customizing Age Progression from Future Tech and Future Civic, Legacy Milestones, and player eliminations, including the option to remove dynamic age length entirely.

With constant age length, the end of the age becomes more predictable and can no longer be gamed (e.g. by unslotting Codices, ending turns with Shift+Enter to avoid Future Tech triggering progression, etc.), therefore freeing players from optimizing the fun out of their game. Further, crises always play out in full length and cannot be skipped over by achieving milestones rapidly.


Premade configurations are available as well as a "Custom" option to tweak components individually, similar to how Difficulty can be adjusted with advanced settings. The following options are available:

• Balanced: Age Progression from ALL players researching Future Tech and Future Civic instead of just human players.
  
• Standard: default unmodded settings (this means only human players add Age Progression by researching Future Tech and Future Civic).
  
• Milestones: Removes Age Progression from Future Tech and Future Civic.
  
• Constant: Age Progression only from turns, removing all other causes of Age Progression. The total age length is adjusted.
  
• Custom: Opens three advanced settings to fine-tune your experience: Progress from Future Tech/Civic, Progress from Player Elimination, and Progress from Legacy Milestones.

If any setting is chosen where Legacy Milestones lo longer add Age Progression, the total age length will be adjusted to simulate a high average of milestone completions. The calendar is adjusted accordingly so that if "Long" ages are chosen, there will be no gap years between ages anymore. In this adjustment, the Exploration and Modern age will be shorter than the Antiquity age. I plan to add more customization options for this aspect in the future.
