I do understand you. What I meant to say is: why don't we add support
for arbitrary calendars, so whoever starts up a game can use whatever
calendar he wants (christian, common, hebrew, muslim, that one from the
French Revolution whose name I keep forgetting, etcetera)?

Let's say that a muslim palestinian wants to play a game, where he'll
play the arabs against two AIs: the mediochre persians and the EVIL
turks. It'd make much more sense for him to play using the muslim
calendar instead of the christian one.



I'd propose to let each player use its own calendar, but that is WAY too
complex to handle.
