Mid-campaign change question

[PopBot]

Hey, this is my first post (been lurking for a while)

So I have searched the forums and google, and I have not found the answer to this question: what happens if you change the timescale in the middle of a campaign? I started a campaign with turns set to 6 months and it is just too slow. I'd like to bump it up to a year/turn, but I do not know what will happen. Will it just double the years? Will a ton of events happen the next time I hit "end turn"? Or will nothing happen at all?

Has anyone done this?

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I searched the forum and checked the FAQ (honest!)

If you change the timescale after you started a game it will not have any effect on the game you started before you changed the Timescale.

You will need to start a new game for it to take effect.

There are many changes which will not take effect mid-game. This is definitely one of them.

Well darn. Thanks for the info, maybe I will look around and find a way to move up some the events (gunpowder/mongols etc).

have a good one

you can move them up, but will also only work in a new campaign.

Ah of course I did not think that one through. Thanks again.
