timescale not compatibel with character age?

**Johnniecash** · March 16, 2008, 03:03 PM

So I changed the timescale back and forth testing 1 year/turn 2 year turn and 0.5 year per turn. But it seemed to me like the characters did´t follow this. Instead they whaterever I choosed seemed to age according to 0.5 year per turn. Is this a bug, me seeing wrong or anything else?

Help appreciated. Cheers!

It not a bug that's just the way it is.

So If I want to play a game where the characters follow the timeline I should play a 0.5 year/turn game?

As a further note, it seems most things are adapted for playing 0.5 years/turn.

Make me ask what timescale you guys play at?

.

It's probably because it is the same engine as in Rome. It had timescale of 0.5

I personally am playing with 1.5 timescale.

And I suppose you can´t change that engine a.k.a it´s hardcoded?

1.5 seems nice as it would play out well with the winter/summer appearing. Only disadvantage, from a realistic point of view, is your characters will live 3 times longer in game years

I believe it is hardcoded, yes. I believe the aging is as when winter appears, everybody ages a year. If you could somehow script it so that winter never appears, then they would theoretically live forever.

The scripting idea isn´t that bad. If it´s possible that is, I know nothing about modding in TWII

...i don't understand the problem...just get one of the many mods that are available around here and you'll have the solution: Characters will follow turns, there are mods with 1,5/turn or 1/turn or 0.5/turn or even 0.3/turn!!! And you don't have to mod anything just to install...personally i like to play 0,5/turn and i get onli mods that have this timescale...(Brocken crescent, kingdoms grandcampaign, darthmod 1.4, SS 5.1...)

I see, so there are mods handling all various kinds of "bug" and/or other irritating things as well as giving more joy of play. Being new to the TW-series I didn´t knew such things existed.

Is there any place you can find info on all those various mods that exist? Are there any particular people play, a grand mod of all solutions so to speak? Or many mini/medium mods out there?

And just to make clear. You mean in these mods the characters follow the timescale? Meaning if two years goes by, so does the characters get 2 years older? I´m used to switching from turns to years you know. Should be the same thing although.
