    Thank you kindly. Started to edit the db myself and my eyes started hurting. Just too many values to edit.

    Well, like I said above these are very crude versions. I simply doubled or quadrupled the values so I imagine some of the later buildings and tech will be too long to make/research. So this is just a stop gap until someone takes the time to edit the thousands of values with an eye to balance.

    I think that's exactly what Chamberlain did as well, but he could probably give the correct answer whereas I'm just guessing. The research values towards the end aren't too bad, considering they're cut almost in half anyways if you build several libraries. The construction times are a little nutty though, since you can only shave off one turn through research.

    Two turns per year seems fairly balanced, if somewhat fast-paced at the start but four was just a little too epic. Perhaps that Greek proverb about seasons is correct: Summer, Harvest, War.

    Anyways, thanks again.

    The previous mod doubled the lower tier techs but the upper tier ones were more like a 25% increase. He also balanced the build times better. I basically just made this quickly for my own use in 2tpy and figured others might want it.

    You guys do realize the CA vanilla is now 2TPY? Although they haven't changed the research or build rate at all.

    I wonder if they will rebalance it.

    My vanilla version isn't 2tpy. Not sure where you got that from, but on a new campaign I still advance 1 year per end turn with patch 4 beta.

    Does these mods make it 4tpy also? Or does it simply add 4tpy values to reasearch and build?
    Interested in how Attila and the new LONGBEARDS DLC plays?

    Would it be possible to increase the cost of everything by 4x original, since you're now effectively getting 4x the income?

    Also, recruitment and build times are multiplied correctly, but research times are still vanilla values. I'm not using any other mods that effect research values as far as I know. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Yes, research is still set at default levels, for 2 turns per year at least. First in is still 2 turns, with the t1 techs taking between 2 to 3 turns to complete.

    Hrm, that is odd, I adjusted the tech points required. I thought that was what governed tech research times. I will look into it.

    @Decoy For cost, I can try to increase cost levels and make an optional mod for that.

    @helmersen This mod does not change the startpos.esf file to actually change the turns per year number. I can upload versions for 4tpy and 2tpy. The problem is, it gets overwritten by patches. The easiest way is to learn how to do it, which is why I included the tutorial in the main post. I will upload some startpos though.

    I don't know the specifics of how it all works, but as it is, you're making a full year worth of income every turn. If you're using 4TPY, that adds up quick. You never have money problems. A simple fix would just be to multiply the cost of everything by four. So yeah, anything you can do would be appreciated.

    From my testing the research rates do change. It could have something to do with current vs. new campaigns.

    I added some startpos files for people who need 2 and 4 tpy choices.

    Edit: I added versions of the mod that affect cost of buildings and/or recruitment. Let me know if it works out or not.

    I can also make Mod versions of these files for people who want to use this with Radious' Total overhaul mod.

    I think I found the cause for the mod not working... but it's kind of strange to say the least. While it doesn't show a conflict in Mod Manager with Hellbent's Traits and Toadies mod, the two just won't work together and it looks like yours is overwritten.

    It shouldn't happen for any reason that I can see but if I pull his mod out of my data folder, joy. Put it back in, no dice. I even repeated it five times to make sure. Can't even guess why it's happening, really bizarre.

    I hate not being able to edit...

    At first I thought it might be my startpos file, as I leave it set to three turns per year. That seems like it doesn't effect anything at all, aside from the calender. Every other mod I use, your sack/liberate/confed, auxiliaries for everyone and eprius/athens expanded... those work fine. But you and Hellbent just don't want to play nice with one another.

    Please be friends, you're both pretty swell.

    Is it just me or do the startpos files link to nothing?

    Hi dresden, do you think you could include a pack which decreases army movement points? Like a .mod pack for each tpy option, so that if you have a 4tpy you could have 75% less movement points, and -50% for 2 TPY. Is this easy to mod myself? I'm really horrible at editing even the .esf file myself

    @Vaporsnake I fixed the startpos link, sorry about that. My power went out for around 4 hours when I was editing the post earlier.

    @DavidtheDuke I will look into campaign movement, no problem.

    @jfood I can make a Mod version of these so you can load them in Mod Manager at top priority so they override other mods. I think TTT mod does something with the tech table so that is why they are not playing well together. Also you could just double all the tech times in TTT's mod, should do the trick. I don't want to edit/release another modder's work without permission. Here is a little mod tutorial that covers some basics: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...e-Game-Editing
