Sun 07 Oct 2012 06:49:25 AM UTC, comment #1: Fix attached for the "MinYear" requirement case. Simply allow any value. We couldn't force value to be at least start year in effects loading even if we wanted. Calendar, and start year, is not yet set up at that point. We could add check to ruleset sanity module, but as year has no gameplay effects at all, I don't think that's necessary - maybe someone even wants to implement countdown style calendar where years decreases as turn increases. (file #16658)	Marko Lindqvist <cazfi>
Mon 07 Mar 2011 09:36:51 PM UTC, original submission: There's still macro GAME_START_YEAR with value -4000 used in some places. Regardless of what ruleset defines as start year, metaserver shows -4000 as current year for pregame games. "MinYear" requirement with value less than -4000 is always considered invalid (even if start year defined in ruleset is less) Metasever issue at least is not trivial to fix. In pregame ruleset, with start year definition, is still subject to change.	Marko Lindqvist <cazfi>
