There's a sub mod that makes it 2 turns per year, or is that not what you want?

I presume you're using Stainless Steel 6.3, which has a aging script (turns per year is handled by the campaign script).

So to change to 2 turns per year you can remove the aging section of the campaign script.

To do so, go to the campaign folder (the same one descr_strat.txt is in) and open campaign_script.txt in Notepad. Press Ctrl and F and type in "ageing", you should see a small section of the script headed something like this:

========= AGEING SCRIPT ==========

Remove all the text below that line until the:

========= CHURCH TITLES ==========

so it looks like:

========= AGEING SCRIPT ==========

========= CHURCH TITLES ==========

Your changes to descr_strat.txt should work now.

You could also use a 2 turns per year sub mod such as Meneth's 2 TPY Project.

Thanks man!

myself actually using 4TPY
just change the ageing script to the following

=============
declare_counter quarter


; ---------------------
; 4 Turns per Year Start in Summer

set_counter quarter 1 ;
monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal ;

if I_CompareCounter quarter == 0 ;
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter quarter == 1 ;
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter quarter == 2 ;
console_command season winter
end_if

if I_CompareCounter quarter == 3 ;
console_command season winter
end_if

inc_counter quarter 1 ;
if I_CompareCounter quarter == 4 ;
set_counter quarter 0
end_if
end_monitor

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType slave
and I_CompareCounter quarter < 2
console_command season summer
end_monitor
==========

and change time scale to 0.5

Why are you putting ; at the end of most lines? It's kinda pointless
Anyway, nice script. What's the aging like, though?

Edit: Also, here's your script optimized (the player monitor)

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal ;

    if I_CompareCounter quarter < 2
        console_command season summer
    end_if

    if I_CompareCounter quarter > 1
        console_command season winter
    end_if

    inc_counter quarter 1 
    if I_CompareCounter quarter == 4
        set_counter quarter 0
    end_if
end_monitor

And shouldn't the time-scale be 0.25, not 0.5?

Agreed on the script, but different question. What's the devastation like?

I'd guess it'd go down normally, since it's not forcing winter at the end of every single turn, like the regular aging script does.

my game became very long afterward....something like 900 turns
didn't pay much notice to devastation through...
