General's Age

[rollinnse]

Overall, I've enjoyed my Rome 2 experience alot more than most i've read on here; however there is one problem that really hurts the game for me. It seems like even if you are lucky enough to get a general from the age of 18 you have at most like 4 or 5 major campaigns if you go from one to the next. I decided to post this because I just started a game as Carthage and notice that you start with Hannibal in Carthage, however he is 38 years old and starts, like everyone else, with a single command star. I guess my question is first, how hard would it be to change his age to 18? I would have known how to do this in the original, but I know nothing about the newer data files.Also, is there a way to only make general age 1 y every 3 actual game years or something like that?

You might be able to do it with EditSF in the savegame. I haven't tried it myself yet, but yesterday I managed to max out the army traditions and give myself a boatload of cash.
