2 turns per year for SS?

[LordLaban]

Hi,

I have installed SS 6.1 and am *very* impressed with it. Now the only thing that does not suit me is the 1.5 years per turn, I would much rather play with 2 turns per year.

So I have 2 questions:

1. Are there any SS sub mods applying 2 turns per year?
2. If I shall fiddle with this myself, I know where to make the change itself, however what other changes are recommended? Building times I guess, but what else?

All input appreciated.

You can do this by going to the descr_strat file in the SS6.1 mod folder (SS6.1 => World => Imperial Campaign => descr_strat.

Not long after the list of factions, there's a line that has how many years per turn. Just set this to whatever you want (0.50, in your case).

Bear in mind that this won't change anything else, like build times, population growth rates, etc.

Cheers.

Tsarsies has a beta 2tpy submod out. It currently has some issues with rebellions, but he's still working on it.

Caesar Clivus put out som files as a base for 2tpy, although you'll need to do additional work if you want to alter building times and costs, mission durations, etc. You'll need to manually alter descr_strat.txt to 2 tpy as Landwalker posted above. Here's the post.

Thank you for your replies!

I took a look at Tsarsies mod, and although it looks extremely interesting, it seems to have some problems I would like to see solved before trying it out. I have little experience with both the game and modding so far, so I think I will simply edit the 2.0 to 0.50 in the descr_strat file and play a campaign and find out for myself how that works. I have read a lot about what to fix in addition to that little modification but it seems little of it will actually make sense to me before I have more first-hand experience with the game myself.

Thanks again!
