    Default can someone Please help.

    ok i have been playing ss now for a couple months and clucking love it. i had everything set up nicely but i recently installed banzai's animations pack and this sent my installation completely west.
    ive done a re-install and now the 2 turns per year mod i was using for some reason prevents the game from getting past the splash screen. i know the new perfectly polished mod has 2TPY as a feature but i dont want to use that mod as some of its features do not appeal to me.

    can somebody please tell me the files i need to edit to get a working 2 turns per year? i know about editing the desc_strat file but that alone does not seem to work.

    please help me on this guys i havent been able to play ss for a week and its doing my head in.

    thanks in advance.

    No Perfectly Polished = no help ^^

    <3 j/k


    On a serious note

    You'll need to double construction times, population growth, reduce kings purse, unit recruit times

    stuff like that =]

    Caeser will probably upload his files later on - he always does when a thread like this pops up

    ryu cheers mate but this is what i need to know:

    i edited the desc_strat file to show timescale 0.50

    however the game still advances 1.5 years with every turn.

    what is going on???

    Erm - well that's not possible lol

    Make sure you're 1. editing the right descr_strat files, make sure it's named correctly also

    do it for both late era and early era just incase.

    Actually make sure you have the [io] file_first = true switches on the .cfg files also - otherwise it won't read the descr_strat

    You also have to start a new campaign. Changes to descr_strat aren't save-game compatible.

    Okay in the medieval2.preferrence.cfg file located in the C://Program Files/SEGA/Medieval II Total War directory

    there should be lines that read,

    [io]
    file_first = true

    make sure of that.

    Same for Stainless_Steel_Kingdoms.cfg located in C://Program Files/SEGA/Medieval II Total War/mods/Stainless_Steel_6


    As Caeser just said - you need to start a new campaign also, however I took that for granted that you had =/
