Disable turn limit

I didn't select a turn limit when creating a game, but there seems to be a default 999 turn limit. Playing an Insane map size, 999 turns is not enough.

Is there anyway to eliminate/disable the turn limit entirely so that a conquest game on an insane map size can actually be played properly?

Its under victory conditions and its default is on. Very annoying, I shut it off a lot myself.

if you have already started a game, click the Victory button in the top left corner.  There you'll see the progress so far for what you have chosen. At the lower left corner of that window there is a button called Victory Options.  Click on it and a field shows up allowing you to change the victory conditions, including the Turn Limit.

When starting a game, there is a menu called Victory Conditions (it is the one you see after selecting your race).  There is an option to disable the turn limit there as well, which might have accidentally been left on when you start a game.

Yeap, I always turn off all the auto game-ending conditions. The only three I leave on are conquest, cultural, and allied victory. The tech and ascension and time limit conditions are all off. Nothing worse than getting invested in a giant map and then bam, someone reaches the end of the tech tree and it's over.

I did not select turn limit as a victory condition in the game set up, it is off. Even when I check victory conditions in the game itself it is off."

 

So maybe this is better called a bug. Now that I have been checking, sometimes when I load the game it counts down from 999, and sometimes I load it it says unlimited.

 

So its either a bug where that turn limit is turning itself on and off by itself, or it is a bug there it is sometimes being listed even though its turned off. s
