Longer games?

**Verranicus** · March 14, 2009, 03:48 PM

I play M2TW slowly.. really slowly. Is there any way for me to increase the length of the campaign to like.. end at whatever year I want so I can play at my own turtle-esque pace?

You can do two things:

1. Change the end date in descr_strat.txt in data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign (or data\world\maps\campaign\custom\Late_Era_Campaign for the late era).

2. Change the timescale to 0.5 in the descr_strat.txt. But if you do this, then you'll get fortresses and citadels much earlier than you're supposed to (date-wise). There are a couple of 2 turns per year submods out there but apparently there are some problems with them (although Tsarsies is working on his again).

Also be aware that even when you reach the end-date for the campaign, the game won't end and will let you to continue to play.

Try tsarsies 2 turns per year sub-mod.

Still in development (I helping test and up to turn 130 with only another 800 to go!!)

i usually end up playing new game before reaching 100 turn.. i never actually made till the end..

neither in this or vanilla /others mods.. like darth/lusted etc.. i probably timurid invasion just once.. and aztek maybe once if ever.. in those , as ss doesnt include them

Well I changed it in 6.1 but then downloaded 6.2 and I think thats changed it back to default but I don't know for sure

The default in 6.2 is 1.5 (1 and a half years per turn) in the early era campaign and 1 year per turn for the later era.

My 2tpy mod sets the timescale to 0.5, its still going through tests, but still quite playable and enjoyable. But its a long campaign and needs other elements to make it more enjoyable, which im working on as a side project...
