Generals live even longer! 12 turns = 1 year

[blindbladexxx]

There was a thread requesting a 12 turns = 1 year mod to be made a while back, so i tried to make one.

This allows for generals to live longer than usually since every 12 turns equal 1 year aged for the general.

The timedate above the campaign mini-map ( the one that's goes " 2954 TA" ) still goes at 1 year every 4 turns.

If a campaign script has been changed by another mod, you can copy and paste the bold text at the end of the script. The unbolded text just shows where you should copy and paste it to.

I did use Sohn des Khaine's "Generals are ageing to fast" script as a guideline

Download this file and overwrite the one in:
mods\Third_Age\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder

Make sure to back up your old file before overwriting with this one!

Unfortunately, it's non-save compatible.

Cool, this is rep-worthy.

[Afonso the Conqueror]

cool ill try it now

[rizla69]

didn't work for me. In about 5/6 turns Legolas (the only general i've checked so far) aged from 22 to 24. Its a fresh install of the mod so I had no option but to start a new game. I've also double checked the file to make sure i had the right one in there. I see the added lines that state time should move in 12 turns but even if it is working (sorry I didn't check the dates) it is not affecting the generals.

I'm no modder so I have no idea how to make it work past installing it correctly. Heres hoping something can be done as I just hate the thought of 'Legolas has gone West' crap that I will inevitably see.

[blindbladexxx]

Hmm, Rizla, is it TATW 1.1 or TATW 1.0 that you installed? Are there any other possible mods you could have put in the folder? Did you put it in the Third age data folder or did you put it in the Medieval 2 data folder?

I've just done a small test with the Silvan elves and it works perfectly, at turn 13, Legolas is 23

[Soul Firez]

The easiest way is to use green eyed devils 12 turn a year script the date clicks over correctly characters age properly and it also includes options to add randomised winters and a trait based winter movement penality in snowy regions and is real easy to use a mere cut and paste job of a few files i use it and well its great

Its TATW 1.1 i believe. I just installed it today and followed the installation instructions to the letter.

I have SS mod but I was told that they are installed in different places so wouldn't effect each other.

I put it in the Medieval 2 data folder, should I put it in the Third age one?

EDIT: man, I normally pride myself on reading everything carefully. I spotted my mistake. I installed into MTW data instead of the Third age data. :S
Thanks for the heads up blindblade

[Ceasar Gubius]

Wow, thanks ! I'll have to download this when I have the chance.... Thanks a million!!!

Lol, np. I did the same thing once

[Mhydrian]

Cam I just cut and paste something, I have other mods and I don't want to overwrite my whole script

[Mhydrian]

This is not working at all for me. I did not directly replace your campaign though. I used installation instructions from Sohns mod. I don't want to overwrite my Real Combat file. If you could show what text needs to be cut and paste that would be helpful

Could copy and paste a couple of the lines at the end of the campaign script from RC?

Well RC has Sohns script there....so I just overwrote it with this new one. It's now working at all...generals age every two turns. I am getting a tad bit frustrated.

[blindbladexxx]

could you paste it anyways?

[Mhydrian]

could you paste it anyways?

I tried it it does nothing.....Really nothing at all. This is nuts

[blindbladexxx]

No like what you have at the end of the script right now, paste it here on the forums.
