When Josef posted the link to the docs
(http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=7#q34), he also considered
the possibility that your games may be starting in 1930.  But until you tell
us, there is no way for us to be sure...
Before you start flooding us with questions, I suggest you have another try
with the docs and the FAQ, skipping the parts that "go way over your head".
