Contruction buildings in 1 turn permanent?

[zeye007]

I am coming back to play M2TW after 2 years, and I forgot a few things.
I like to play by modifiying the building construction time to 1 turn for all. But after I unpacked the files and modified the export_descr_buildings file, the game still plays with many turns per building time. I remember there was a trick I had to do to make the change working in game, but i forgot what that trick was. Like moving the file in a different location or making a copy somewhere.
thanks

PS: if i have more questions once i play for a bit longer, will post it in here

For me it works using the option "construction 1" for all buildings in export_descr_buildings.txt . And you said something about unpacking , that file is available in Rome - Total War\data , you don't have to unpack anything . See my txt attached

Do you mean to make these changes for M2TW, if so you need to set the game to read from files instead of the pak files, setting files_first in the [io] section of the config file. If you placed this in the wrong game let me know so it can be moved.

Higher the number lesser they spawn and vice versa. Works in opposite ways.

Yes you can open the descr_events.txt file and change the date according to what suits your game style.
