[Official Submod] Turns per Year Options

[Dresden]

Updated for 1.05a:

These submods are now also available as part of the DeI Official Submod Collection on Steam.

Load these mods before DeI (should happen automatically with Steam Mod Manager due to alphabetical name):

Turns Per Year Submods - These simply change the TPY, nothing else. No promises as to balance or gameplay, simply here for your convenience if you prefer these options. I am also not sure how seasons will react to some of these.

DeI TPY 1

DeI TPY 2

DeI TPY 4 (Basic DeI setting)

DeI TPY 12

DeI TPY 24


Other Submods

1TPY Build and Research Submod - Decreases Build and Research times.

4TPY Build, Research and Cost Submod - Increases Build times, research times and unit/building costs.

12TPY Build, Research and Cost Submod - For the truly masochistic, further increase to build/research/cost

Hey, thanks for the work you guys do. Any hope of a 2 tpy version with the build and research times etc. adjusted in the distant future? Obviously a non-priority but something that would be wonderful. I could try peeking through the .pack but I'll probally finish when 0.8 comes out lol. I managed to get hegmonia compatible with STIM though so who knows.

Big thanks! Long awaited for this mod.

DeI is currently set with 2TPY build times, etc. It just has TPY set to 4.

[mrhappyx666x]

ohh awesome, i may just jump on this now then, thanks

[mrhappyx666x]

All seems to working well with 2 tpy.There are still 4 seasons but 2 tpy but thats hardly a true issue. Thanks

[Dresden]

Interesting, it doesn't alternate Summer/Winter ? I thought the seasons in 2TPY alternated those.

[mrhappyx666x]

You know what, my fault. When I checked it I was using a saved game that I edited the save file and I tied another handful of things. So when I quickly checked it with a clean new game with just dei and the 2tpy the first turn was spring so I assumed it was still all 4 seasons. Turn 2 is summer and then 3 is winter and sticks to the two from then on.

Hey Dresden, is this savegame compatible? Are you uploading this to the steam workshop?
Thanks Mate

[Dresden]

This isn't save compatible, but if you want to change your save here is a tutorial: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post13270783

[andrewdrakelive]

Thanks Dresden I've been avoiding modding but I may give it a go now. If I modify my save game to two turns per year will it automatically run between summer and winter only, or do I need to modify anything else?

Cheers Mate

Hey mate I did as instructed on your tutorial, used EditSf 1.1.1, followed step by step but then when I was loading my campaign it did not work. Do I need to have PFM installed? Do I need to modify the save game in the actual savegames folder, because what I did was to create a backup folder, modify the file there and then copy the modified file to the savegames folder.

Any help would be great

Cheers Mate

If you only edited the turns per year number in your save game, it should load properly and function with the new turns per year (unless something has changed recently, I havent made this change in a long time).

I did not touch any other values. On your tutorial the other 2 values on campaing_calendar where 0, on mine 3 and 271 I think, but I am not sure what that means :/

[Dresden]

Make sure you changed the values that are present when you click on Campaign Calendar, not the ones that are under it when expanded.

I didn't touch any other values. Could it be a conflict with any other submods, I am using?:

what is the meaning of the 2 other rows of values on campaign_calendar? They are currently set at 3 and 275, I reckon the latter is the number of turns so far, but I dunno about the second. I tried changing the second value from 3 to 2 too, in case there was a relationship where the second row value should be lower than the first one but that did not work either.

I appreciate if you can give the heads up, but no pressure I don't want to take much of your time and the amazing work you guys are doing, anyways thanks

[andrewdrakelive]

Ok I got it working, it was as I thought initially; the value of the second row is the season, and it seems that it cannot be higher than the first row value (tpy). The savegames I tried to mod were winter saves (value=3). I moded a savegame on spring (value=0) and is working fine now with 2tpy

Updated with more options and for DeI 0.8. WARNING: Do not use until 0.8 releases (it won't load).

Dresden, is there any possibility of your previous TPY mod (with movement, research, building cost alterations) being compatible for DEI. I found that version today with much excitement but found that with DEI running as well, the modifiers of unit omvement etc are overruled in some way. Are the two mods ever likely to co-exist?? would love to enjoy your great mod more!

Oh interesting!! I'd love a turn per year option where movement range is much shorter, so I guess 12 turns per year would be a natural choice. A marching range of about 35 kilometers average, all depending on terrain of course. Just sort of get a realistic range, but not be able to hop between city to city like you can now. Atleast take a turn to land inbetween two cities, next turn be able to reach it. Something like that. Basically slow down everything
