Why do Characters only age 2-3 years over a 10 year period??

Hi,

I've only just installed MW2 and - while I'm greatly enjoying it - I find it very annoying that the character ageing isn't synchronised to the years passing.

In other words, each turn passing takes two years, but if my king is aged 40 in 1080, he's only aged 43 in 1090. Maybe he's using oil of ulay or something.

I know it's not a major point, but I quite enjoy the aspect of building up the family tree - which this factor spoils - and I can't seem to change it within the game.

Is there anyway I can maybe make the game progress 1 year per turn with the characters aging similarly??

It can be changed. getting the characters to age properly is two turns per year, one summer, one winter, and you can change it in the descr_strat.txt.

I read somehwere a version of Stainless Steel has one turn per year aging figured out.

I think its for gameplay purposes.

It is for anybody who's played RTW. Players ere hollering about how long the campaigns in Rome were, so CA went this route, but did leave a way to mod it to suit.
