Author Topic:   What happened to mandatory retirement?

snisson posted 03-15-99 03:21 PM ET
I am playing my first game of AC at "Librarian" skill level. In the manual it says that I will be forced to retire in 2400, but 2400 had come and gone and I just keep on playing. What happened to the mandatory retirement?
Please help.

I think it got slid back a 100 years after the manual went to press based on customer feedback. It's still 300 years on the last two difficulty levels, again, I think.

I have a quick question. Though I haven't had a day to sit down and actually play a game from start to finish (My girlfriend likes to start over a lot), I remember hearing about mandatory retirement. Will there be a patch, so to say in some later version that will allow you to keep playing? As I said, I haven't been able to get to that point, so I'm not quite sure if you already can.. =]

Yes, you can keep playing!
I am currenly playing on transcent ironman with tech stagnation, and I will be transcenting before 2330 - 300 years is lots of time
