Longer Grand Campaign

[hshiek]

Does anyone know how someone could go through the files for the game and change the time over one turn just like you could in Med 2 to make the campaign longer. It seems kind of hard with all the steam stuff now but does anyone know

[Takeda Shingen]

Yes, I agree. I'd love to have 12 turns a year!!!

....200 turns is just too short!!!!!!

[Captainrave]

I would be happier with 4 turns a year. Has noone come up with this yet?

[Kingdark]

doesn't the game continue until you say you want to quit?

[Yoda Twin]

yea thats what i thought....

[Kingdark]

because when you begin the grand campaign it says something along those lines, that made me think you could keep playing until you control the entire world

oh, and if possible; making those trade theaters, in PLAYING theaters would be nice too

[OberonDark]

No, the game ends in the years 1750 or 1799 depending on your settings.

[hedges13]

No, the game ends in the years 1750 or 1799 depending on your settings.

wrong, you can continue the game after either of these dates if you so desire... however there are no longer objectives of territory or prestige it just turns into a big sandbox.

[Comrade the Colonel]

No, the game ends in the years 1750 or 1799 depending on your settings.

the game still continues, no matter what date you pass.

what about a simple memory edit, like set date to earlier when you reach 1799 lol, havnt tried it yet but maybe it works

[Rapyer]

i'm waiting for this too.

in mtw2 i could play campaign for days.

empire is over in like 8-10 hours

Then you must auto-resolve battles....or else its not possible to finish a campaign in 8 a 10 hours.

ive done 18 hours and am on 1726 . i dont see how 8 hrs would ever be possible. ps dont trust the russians theyre plotting against me i know it

[DanMLee88]

we want MOAR turns!! who's with me?

[GroupofSpearmen]

Is it impossible to play past 1799?

Do you get booted out of the campaign when it reachs 1799? Like when you get to the end of the MTW or STW campaigns?

[Lebre]

Any way to increase the number of turns?

[Xerces]

By increasing the number of turns per year it would more than likely effect many parts of the game. Such as all those historical events etc, would pop up in the wrong year etc. I agree that it would be nice to have more turns, but it will take alot more than simply changing 2 to 4 etc.

Yes, that can be done as a sort of workaround to the inability of modifying the file. Although by setting it before 1701 could corrupt your save file, which means 200 turns of painstaking research are gone.
Not that happened to me.

No, unlike MTW2, it's actually depended on the actual date in ETW, which I know since I am on 213th turn and is still getting "The Dublin Gazette(1706)" event pop-up, and will keep getting it until my neighbor remembers that he bought a game called "Empire Total War"

that was my thought, i just wanted to know how one can increase, for example from 200 to 400 turns. any thoughts?

[Studpuffin]

Can you continue to save after the end point? In R:TW (not sure about M2) you could continue to play but you were no longer allowed to save after the end date.

What's the verdict here?
