Seasons

[caralampio]

Is there a way to mod the sequence of seasons? It is summer/winter/summer/winter etc. But if one wanted something like S/S/S/W/S/S/S/W, i.e. only every fourth turn of winter?

Turns are 2 years, so seasons make no sense, except for aesthetics. Even if you set turns to 6 months, as in RTW, it still doesn't make sense because winter doesn't last half the year. Also, in ancient and medieval warfare winter was a time of little activity, armies went into "winter quarters" and activity although it could occur was rare. Besides, I find snow boring both on the campaign and on the battle map

So a SSSW sequence would make certain sense because winter lasts 1/4 of the year. Considering that winter is a time of inactivity, one could argue that even less turns should be winter. It would exist only to let you get the feel of the occasional winter campaign. Even better would be if winter could be randomized, with a chance of occurence of say 10%.

There is a way of doing it, but if i remember rightly it buggers up devastation: it never goes away.

Should be in scripting. Moved.

I removed winter for myself through a script. Aging and such still works properly, characters age 1 year every two turns.

I posted the script here.
