As pointed out before it is easier for client side ai planing to
handle with turns instead of years. It may be possible to calculate
the current turn from the current year but a far easier solution is to
add a field to struct civ_game and two packets.

 "From what I am reading Win98 and NT5.0 will be getting rid of all that

  another really revolutionary concept called DNS that eliminates the
  netbios crap too. All that arping from browsers is going to go away.
  I also hear rumors that they are on the verge of breakthrough discoveries
  called NFS, and LPD too. Given enough time and money, they might
  eventually invent Unix."
