2 years per turn with SS 6.4 (Gracul CAI)

[MAG]

Hi, I could not wait for 350-400 turns for the latest era, so I decided to edit some files to make Stainless Steel run 2 times faster :-)

2YPT SPECIFIC PROBLEMS:

PROBLEM 1:
limited possibilities to influence ageing - "winter" event increases the ageing by 1, but as I understand, every turn it can influence the ageing only once which means that:

* you can trigger the winter event as many times as you want, but only one winter event will affect the age, thus max ageing will be 1 year per turn when I need 2YPT.

In 6.4, aging is controlled in the campaign script. You need to remove it to get the old rate of aging back.

@ Caesar Clivus

Yep, and the ageing will be 1 year per turn when I need 2 years per turn

[Caesar Clivus]

Ah I see sorry I read it around the wrong way. In that case you need to use the aging script in the campaign to get the right rate going. There are threads in the Mod Workshop that can help you

i have tried removing the script from the campaign_script file but for some reason as soon as i launch the game it replaces the file with the old 1 any suggestions how to stop this?

Hi Clivus, thanks for being interested in my topic :-)

I tried to play with the ageing script but with no luck - as you probably know the characters age by 1 every time winter event is triggered. The sad thing I found is that for every turn only the last triggered season event affects the ageing - this means that:

1) before each turn you can trigger summer event after all the other season events, thus slowing the ageing as much as you want.

2) you can trigger the winter event as many times as you want, but only the final winter event will affect the age, thus max ageing would be 1 per turn.

Maybe I am wrong and there are workarounds - I will ask people on Mod Workshop, is it the right one http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=653?

You would probably also suggest me to use Mod Workshop for asking about my second issue (accumulated probabilities for getting traits etc.)?

Would also like to ask about devastation side effect of ageing script :-) Really would like to have non-buggy devastation back.

@ Shifty67

Do you launch the game via launcher or setup?

[Shifty67]

launch via SS_Setup.exe

Sorry, was not sure whether I "replied" to your comment

Check out the index of tutorials: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=92488. You probably want the tutorial on descr_strat http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=197219 since that is the file that controls the years per turn, as explained in the first paragraph. I strongly suggest making a back-up of the file before editing.

@ AClockworkOrange

Thanks mate, I've asked on the modding forum and will check out the tutorials :-)

What location do I extract the file to? C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\2YPT or something different? Thanks!
