Fix for generals aging to fast

**GreatSword** · December 20, 2012, 03:59 AM

Hello all,

I'm not sure if others had this issue, I posted in the technical help section about generals aging too fast for the 12 turns per month. I came up with a solution and tested it, no crashes or bugs. The only drawback is December will be the only winter month. There is something in the game making the generals age 1 yr after a winter month. So I found the file it was in, edited it, now you can have a fun campaign without worrying about your heros getting too old too quick!!

Instructions: back up the file we are about to replace

1. Go to "mods"-> "the_sundering" -> "data" -> "world" -> "maps" -> "campaign" -> "imperial_campaign"
2. copy and paste the file I attached to this post ( will be replacing the campaign_script file)
3. start a new game!

best regards,
GreatSword

I was pretty sure our setting was 12 turns PER YEAR, so our generals didn't age at all.

It is my friend, but for some strange reason, the generals in all my campaigns were turning a year older at the end of EVERY winter month, not just december. So they were getting 7 or so years older for every 12 turns. I looked on some other forums and this has happened in other mods. There is a more complicated way to fix it, though it is beyond me at this point.

It's the good old 12 turns / year script, where even a typo counter entry anywhere in the campaign_script (not related to this script) may cause the script to go wrong (even if the counter bug does not cause a crash or even an entry in the log). Also, descr_strat must be checked as well (I've corrected the timescale to 0.0835 but that did not help to solve the issue).

Anyhow, your solution is easy and good, so +rep for your work mate!

Every generals grow older one year at the end of each winter months. Try opening your campaign_script.txt file in your Medieval II/mods/The_Sundering/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial campaign (with notepad), and search for this part (Ctrl + F):

Code:

12 TURNS PER YEAR SCRIPT

You'll see this:

Simply change all "summer" to winter. Then save and exit.

In order the changes should appear in game, you have to go to your \Medieval II\mods\The_Sundering\data\world\maps\base folder (or whatever it is called
