Civ4GameSpeedInfo
The Civ4GameSpeedInfo file defines the games speeds available in the game.
All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

Lists (Multi-line)
All List tags consist of an opening/closing tag, which is shown here, and then each entry within it is another tag with the same name as the parent tag, minus the "s" (i.e. singular, rather than plural).
| Tag Name | Description |
|---|---|

<GameTurnInfo> <iMonthIncrement>180</iMonthIncrement> <iTurnsPerIncrement>100</iTurnsPerIncrement> </GameTurnInfo> |
Example
In the following example of code, please note that there is a specific order of all of the tags. You must list the tags in this order for the game to properly interpret your file.
