Campaign too fast?

[Antso]

Hello everyone.

Does anybody else think that you should have more time to complete the campaign, or at least only "die" if u r destroyed or other factions has completed their goals. I just dont have time for "playing" i like, sometimes just to fool around, and not always be so aggresive, but more friendly and take a settlement here and there, instead of constantly focusing on cpmpleting the whole game as fast as possible or u die, i know u can continue playing if u win, but not if u lose, what do you guys think about it?

[... where did it run?]

You can change time scale and time limit in descr_strat.txt file. It's just beneath the faction list.

yea i know, thx btw, but i mean it shouldnt be like u have to it that complicated, the develpopers should probably have left that option then, otherwise u change the game itself other than meant to.

Well.. of course you can't continue to play if you loose. That's the whole point of loosing. But I don't see where you're trying to get at.. since you can play after the end date. Just play however you like man..

[Antso]

as far as i know then if u haven't completed your objectives within the time limit u just suddenly lose for no reason, but if u completes it in time u can continue forever...that doenst makes sense.

just change the descr_win_conditions for the faction you want. for Veince below change the way you like...like only take 1 settlement to win.

venice
hold_regions Constantinople_Province
take_regions 45
short_campaign hold_regions ;Constantinople_Province
take_regions 15
outlive milan byzantium

Winning's overrated. In this kind of game you just play.

Damn straight! The game lasts for quite some time anyway - it stretches over 500 years or so. That should typically be long enough to win... I don´t think it goes too fast, I usually get a little bored somewhere around the 1400s.
I think it might depend on what kind of player you are - an aggresive player, who conquers a lot quickly, could probably use a higher difficulty level. Or changing the victory conditions, as has been suggested earlier...
Win if you want it, play and just enjoy if you don´t feel like it ^::^

you have 450 year (1080-1530/ 225 turns). and offcours, in the beginning you go slowly, but once you get a decent economy and a large empire,, you'll recruit a lot of troops, and start steamroling through provinces.

It often happens that players stop before 1530. especially in rome it was the case, you had 300 year, 270bc-14ad), but i never played beyond 150 BC.

Be happy, cause in Empire, you can't win untill you reach the end date :p. Sometimes that's 50 clicks on "end turn"
