Change date from A.D to B.C

[Hellenikon]

I´ve run a search on the forum but i did not find anything about this, so i bring the question here.

What i would like to know is if it is possible to change the date in M2TW so it runs backwards instead of forwards. So for example instead of 1080 AD - 1492 AD, you could have something like 400 BC - 100 BC. Besides the number i would need to change also the word "AD" of course.

I don´t know of any released mod that has this included so i don´t even know whenever it is possible to do or not. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, yes it is very simple make your start date -400 your end date -100 in descr_strat.txt the game will automatically change it from AD to BC and the dates will run backwards.

Hi, that's interesting, I wonder one other thing : how do you change the B.C. - A.D. ?
TATW hava dates as "2980 TA" when you start a campaign how did they do that ?

I actually remenber a txt file that was about date and solar system ... but I can't remeber or find the thread ...
Any help ?

The file you require is shared.txt, if you haven't unpacked you can run a search for it, it's on this site somewhere.

Ishan was first, again.

@Dwaine
Go in the text folder of a mod in your case TATW.
And open the shared.txt file.
And see these entries:-

{ST_X_BC}%d BC
{ST_X_AD}%d AD

And i'm sure i don't need to say more to you buddy
