Antiquity

Is there a specific date when nations' founding dates go from "antiquity" to an actual date? Thank you.

Uh, no, there is no exact date since Antiquity actually means "long ago" or that they don't know the exact date of when they founded their nation, so byeeee...

I believe the antiquity cut-off is late 2003. Perhaps November?

Somebody willing to process the daily dumps might be able to figure out a likely cutoff for you.

That sounds about right. Thank you. Just wanted to see if there was a firmly established date for when creation dates started being noted.

The oldest non-mod added founded date on the forum is November 26th, 2003. So late November is a fair bet.

Talk about missing being an 'Antiquity' by a hair. :P

IIRC nations founded in antiquity were allowed to submit evidence of their founding date to have that date replace the antiquity label.
