    Default Change date from A.D to B.C

    Iīve 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 donīt know of any released mod that has this included so i donīt 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.

    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:-
    Code:
    {ST_X_BC}%d BC
    {ST_X_AD}%d AD
    And i'm sure i don't need to say more to you buddy
