2 turns per year / 4 turns per year

[Condottiere SOG]

The mod should affect neither achievements nor unit size...

[AlexDragon]

Could you make another version or tell us how to edit in pack files manager so this will work compatible with the 'Friday's patch?

The beta patch does not change startpos.esf, so I assume the official patch on Friday won't either. So there's no need to update this mod. Huzzah.

Good to hear that, I DL'd it and it works (2 tpy and 4 tpy).

It's nice to keep your generals and agents for a longer period of time, maybe less for the Roman generals because they all seem to go crazy

For those that want to have the effects of the 2/4 Turns per year mod, but can't because you're already in a long campaign, use the Selucid mod, or other mods that conflict with the 2/4 Turns per year mod, do this.

Backup your save (just in case)
Download EditSF (I'm using version 1.0.7 for reference)
Expand the tree through; Campaign Save Game > Compressed Data > Campaign Env > Campaign Model and then click on Campaign Calendar (don't expand the campaign calander tree, just click on it)

You'll be presented with 3 values on the right, the other two values will vary, but it's the top value (That's set at 1) that you want to change. Change that to 2 or 4 (or however high you like but I've not tested these) then save the savegame (give it time, it can take a while to change, a visual aid for whether it has been saved or not is that when you first edit the value, part of the tree on the left will go red, once it has saved, the parts that were red will go back to being black)

Load up your savegame and enjoy your longer living generals!

Awesome, this was the mod I have been waiting for. Thanks bud.

[billydilly]

Great little mod. Now what about seasons, is it possible to add winter at least?

[Darkphantom]

Has anyone noticed that their diplomacy options are missing with this mod?

not sure which it is but I put in Raidous morale mod, this mod and edited my unit size and I've lost all options when you go into diplomacy.

[Wolar]

Good work!

[Agrippa]

great thanks for making this mod

For those that want to have the effects of the 2/4 Turns per year mod, but can't because you're already in a long campaign ... do this.

Done that.. But my ongoing roman campaign isn't affected. The startpos.esf has 4 instead of 1 in the integer indicated. Tried starting an Iceni campaig, then this mod worked. Does this mean I am royaly screwed and have to restart the campaign? What could possibly cause it to ignore the changed integer just for old savegames? I have three savegames on my roman campaign, should I remove all but one to make this work? Also, where are those three savegames? Are they integrated into the big startpos.esf file or can I find them in discreete places?

Thank you for your patience, but I am sure more people has this issue and would rather not have to restart their campaigns (some of us work.. limited time available)!

Done what exactly? Were you trying to edit the startpos.esf? Was it the default startpos or the one from this thread (or any other modded one) If you started your Roman Games unmodded, and installed this mod, then yeah, it won't suddenly give your roman savegames 4 turns per year Changing the startpos.esf does not change an already saved game. So if you started with one turn per year, and then installed this mod, it will not alter that save, hence why you have to use EditSF to alter the actual save itself unless you start a new game. If you'd like, compress your roman save files in a .zip file, upload them somewhere and PM me the link, and I'll take a look at them for you. Your savegames are located (if you're on Windows 7 at least) in (assuming your main drive where windows is installed is labelled C) C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\Save_games.

Question.
Does this affect how long the campaign is?
Is it still going to be a 300 turn campaign, thus ending sooner.
Or is the campaign set to end in a specific year, thus making it a 600 turn campaign (with the 2 turn per year mod).

Good question! Would also like to know..

[Mansen]

Sadly, no -- the game is still seasonless.

Man I hope somewhere in the engine is legacy code from Shogun 2 that will allow modders to bring back seasons.

Considering how slow the site is behaving, I would lay off people who won't wait 10 minutes for each page to load

[VektorT]

RayvenQ, you are my personal hero now.

[Iaius Statius Laurentius]

My instinct is that the game length is set by year rather than number of turns, but if it's the latter, that's easy to change too -- if anybody runs into an unusually short campaign, let me know and I'll poke through the esf again and post a solution.

Keep in mind they'll also have to wait the same amount of time to hear repeat answers, too, y'know :p

[SomaaTheLion]

Brilliant mod, Laurentius!! +rep.. just one request: can you change or tell us how to change the end year in the victory conditions so that we have the same amount of turns the campaign would normally have? thanks in advance.

[RedDrakken]

how do you install the mod with steam?
