Which Turns Per Year as the Default One?

[julianus heraclius]

Hi Folks,

With SBH's suggestion of an optional 12 turns per year I thought it would be good to get some views on which of the 3 turns per options should be the default.

We know that the 361AD campaign will be the default campaign so which turns option do you want?

I voted 4tpy. In my opinion, it feels sort of "standard". One of the drawbacks, I think, with many turns is the fact that one can play a large amount of battles in one single year, which feels a bit unrealistic to me. But then again I am a very shallow person who likes it when things move fast...

I also think 4 should be the standard. It is sort of the default option for most mods and those downloading this mod for the first time would be expecting that, I think!

That is a consideration, is it possible to prevent armies being led by 'captains'?

And I suppose you both have a point with 4TPY, but I went with 6, just because somethings always done, doesn't mean have to follow tradition

I highly doubt it, I'm afraid.

More than 4tpy says "mini-mod" to me. You know, a mod with a map that only covers a minor area and takes place in rather short timeframe.

We have a tradition breaker and a rebel in here .

12 for me, I like the roleplaying elements and don't like my characters dying on me

in other version i feel that some characters died pretty much quick. So altough i like the 4tpy in this case i vote for 6tpy

[juvenus]

4tpy for the reasons already stated-it's a kind of standard. i think the number of turns is less important than adjusting the rec/build times. i always change those values to suite my wish in order to make the gameplay more reasonable, i.e. no units which require half a year to recruite.

Whatever option is the default, will the game still have the 6 TPY option? If it does, release what you like as the default.

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

Yes, it will still have the 6 turn option.

[Stigmata]

6 seems to be ok. Not a irrealistic advance of time (according to the engine) and also offer a good chance for who is looking for role playing (yeah, i want to play with julian and reach india with him hahaha)

I think I may be an idiot - but I keep trying to install the full 12 turn per year option and nothing seems to change. The loading screen still says 6 turns per year. I am installing it to the default folder (the creative assembly/rome - total war - SAI) but wonder if I need to install it elsewhere?

Is that your default path?? Or are you pointing it to your RTW folder.

I just installed the 12tpy 361AD Campaign it it's fine.

Plus your Campaign Installed.txt file in the SAI folder should say IB:SAIV1.0 361AD Campaign FULL Script 12tpy added, if that is what you have installed.

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

I am installing to - (the creative assembly - rome total war SAI - SAI) if that helps. The campaign installed txt file in the SAI folder still reads 6 turns per year. I know I am doing something stupid but can't for the life of me figure it out. I installed the soundmod OK.

Doing 11 hour shifts and this being my first day off probably isn't helping my brain function!!!

OK, install the campaign into a dummy folder then look at the contents.

The open campaign_descriptions.txt file in the text folder. It should show 12tpy.

Also check the splash.tga file in the menu folder. It too should read 12tpy.

If they do, then great. Just copy and paste into your existing SAI folder.

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

OK will do!

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

No good. I pasted as per instructions - no tga file that I could see and when I went to play it played very oddly and then CTD after 6 turns and 3 years changing!

Did you check the files first? Did they say 12tpy?
