Sid Meier’s Civilization VI – How to Disable Turn Limit Mid-Game

Overzicht

Like a lot of people, I started a single player game and accidentally left turn limits enabled. I didn’t realize this until I got late into the game and wanted to disable turn limits on a single player game i already started.

I played the game until it ended in a turn 330 turn-limit defeat. I applied this method I discovered, reloaded the game from an autosave (5 turns before turn 330), and was able to finish the game with a domination victory in turn 360. I got relevant achievements at the end of the game.

Disclaimers

Things I have confirmed with this fix:

• You can get achievements

Things I have

NIETconfirmed:

• Long term effects on the game/save files
• If this works in multi-player
• Other victory/defeat types

The Fix

The following steps allow you to continue playing beyond a turn limit in a single player game.

• Close Civ VI
• Navigeer naar “Victories.xml” bestand
• in …\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier’s Civilization VI\Base\Assets\Gameplay\Data\
• This can be found right clicking Civ VI in your steam library and manage->browse local files
• Make a backup copy of Victories.xml (on your Desktop or somewhere else that you’ll find it)
• Open Victories.xml with a text editor (notepa++)
• Remove all lines with refence to “DEFEAT_TIME”
• See the example section below
• Reload the game, turn limit defeats are now disabled
• OPTIONAL: Put the original backed up Victories.xml back in the …Gameplay\Data\ folder when you’ve finished with your game

Note that this method may or may not work for disabling other defeat/victory types.
