Help please - 2 turns per year

[alandonovan]

Hello,

I know I can change the game to 2 turns per year easily, as I like to see the characters aging correctly.

But I've heard that events, population and build times are then wrong.

Can one of you clever modders confirm this please?

If this is so, is it easy to chahge the parameters of events, populations and build times?.... oh and if so how?

Thanks for any responses.

Thank you fror a prompt response.

But do I need to modify ANY other file to cover.... population, events, building?

Yes you do, unless you want the population growth of a normal 2 years a turn (depending on what mod you are using).

Also events would pop up way too early.

the easiest thing to do is to open up the descr_events file in the C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder and increase the all event numbers times 4.

also you can open up the export_descr_buildings file in your data directory to increase build times of buildings.

and finally the descr_settlement_mechanics file also in your data folder to adjust population growth.

Found in the last part of the file:

<population_levels>
<!-- city -->
<level name="village" base="500" upgrade="1000" min="500" max="1500"/>
<level name="town" base="1000" upgrade="3000" min="500" max="5000"/>
<level name="large_town" base="3000" upgrade="8000" min="500" max="12000"/>
<level name="city" base="8000" upgrade="15000" min="500" max="25000"/>
<level name="large_city" base="15000" upgrade="26000" min="500" max="60000"/>
<level name="huge_city" base="28000" min="500" max="120000"/>
<!-- castle -->
<level name="moot_and_bailey" base="500" upgrade="1000" min="500" max="1500"/>
<level name="wooden_castle" base="1000" upgrade="2500" min="500" max="5000"/>
<level name="castle" base="2500" upgrade="7500" min="500" max="12000"/>
<level name="fortress" base="7500" upgrade="15000" min="500" max="25000"/>
<level name="citadel" base="15000" upgrade="30000" min="500" max="50000"/>
</population_levels>

was my understanding that event times are in years not turns, so multiplying them by 4 would be wrong no?

Don’t know abut the event times in GC, but in Kingdoms they work just fine without modifying them. I use 0.5 timescale and still all of my events occur when they should.

FYI: Events are triggered by year, not by turn.
