[Request] A way to edit the duration of Mastery of Arts

[neltazero]

I had no problem with the first few arts, but some of them requires quite too much turns, which makes it kind of hard to complete all the arts before completing the campaign. Is there any way to edit the duration of the mastery of arts?

[zowrath]

Yes, there will be. In the meantime I suggest training monks to give bonus to Chi to get them done faster and capturing provinces that lets you build structures that gives a overall bonuses

You'd need to edit the technology db tables in the data.pack to change this.

You can edit the duration of the national bonus that helps quickly master the arts by using the 1.4.6 ESF Editor to edit the savegame. You need to expand "campaign_save_game->campaing_env->campaign_model->world->faction_array->faction_array (the first one)->faction->campaign_effect_bundles (near the bottom)". You may have a few, if so, you'll need to expand each one and select the final entry to read what the value is (eg, p_inspired_endeavor). The number underneath is the turns left. Set it to 400 (or whatever). Save and open. So far, I haven't found a way to add a trait straight out. I think there may be a second entry which is purely numeric that has to get added, but I am sure that the ESF editor can't deal with it yet- there's an issue with the ETW save-format, I think. I hope that helps

it seems using the PFM, in "technologies_tables" there are numbers that correspond with the length of time to research a certain art, perhaps lowering would lower the turns required, or raising those numbers would raise the turns required.
