Never Modded before - but mods too good. Need more turns per year

[Switz]

Hello TFT, just want to say WOW. Got bored one day and went back to RTW, quickly got tired of the same thing so I checked out the mods. Ive played mods before, but nothing like this one. Your Caeser campaign was so THOROUGH! Alesia, the Helvanti!? Wow! I finished reading Conn Iggulden's "Emperor" and you guys really hit it to a tea.



Anyway, as excited as I was, I am an extremly sooooo player. And just after defeating Gaul and Germania, my Caesar died of old age

I tried to mod the Caesar_TFT_Campaign.txt file to make it have 12 turns per year (LOL! I KNOW ITS SHAMEFUL). Anywho, it didnt work. I added like 15 yrs at 12 turns then got tired and copied pasted the 4yrs for the rest. All in all 238 turns. My question is this, Im a no experienced modder, can I get a example shown to me on the correct script or what else I need to change?

Heres an example of one of my years:

<sub>console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 1
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 2
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 3
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 4
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 5
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 6
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 7
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 8
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 9
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 10
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 11
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date -58
console_command season winter
while I_TurnNumber = 12
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while</sub>

Salvor will help you with your request. I believe we had no option to make caesar inmortal so in 58BC we decided to reduce his age a bit.

if you liked TFT:Caesar you will love 58BC: Caesar Imperator! believe me.

indeed, you really get the Caesar feeling

Well, I think that the script is basically correct. I am guessing that you have kept the first part of the existing script:

	suspend_during_battle on
	console_command date -58
	console_command season summer			
	declare_counter Caesar_Vindy_Thread			
	while I_TurnNumber = 0			
		monitor_conditions I_CompareCounter Caesar_Vindy_Thread = 0		
			if I_CompareCounter Caesar_Vindy_Thread = 0
				advance_advice_thread Caesar_Vindy_Thread
				inc_counter Caesar_Vindy_Thread 1
			end_if	
		end_monitor		
	suspend_unscripted_advice true			
	end_while

Perhaps the easiest solution might be, as Empe suggests, to reduce the starting age of Caesar by opening the descr_strat file and changing it. But, beware, you need to change the descr_strat file that is contained in the executable TFT_Caesar.

Well ahead of you on that one. Did like you said, I lowered Caesars age. As well as Brutus, Antoni and Ciciro - Wanted them to last because Im a dork.

It gave me an insane 1 hour headache because the aage of their dependents kept crashing, but I eventually after a lot of going back and forth got all the ages right and playing with a very young Caesar. Which in History Caesar at that time was fighting bandits in the Med.




In addition, Ill keep trying out the turns per year. I uploaded it via winRAR but have not had a chance to test because I take soooo long each turn I dont pay attention to it. Nontheless, Im satisfied, I hope I can now start attacking Pompeii w/o Caesar dying lol. If I cant I just suck.







And I thought this was Caesar Imperator lol. That much better you guys say.....*CRIES - I Just Modded it!!! Ill have to think on this one.



Thanks guys! Again, insane mod!
