Question about campaingns in MTW

[Architeuthis]

Hello people,

This is my first post here:wave: . I think it should be posted in another catagory, but for some reason i'm unable to post elsewhere. Anyway if got a little question. How do you stop the game from ending in campaingn mode? I want to continue playing, but unfortunaly its game over http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif

Ah well, there must be some file i can edit so that the game doesnt end. So, could any any of you help me out, I would be most gratefull.

So if you want to change the ending date in 1453, you must go to the startpos files (located in \campmap\startpos&#92http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif and edit one of the files (early, high, or late.txt; the one you edit means if you choose the early period the new end date applies to this one, but no in high). Anyway,
open one of the files. And search: (almost at the beginning)

SetStartingDate::1087 Or something like that
SetEarlyPEriodDate::1204
SetHigh...
SetLate...
SetGameEndDate::1600

Welcome to the Org Architeuthis, where there is never an end date. When I see English billmen marching down my street I'll know you've been successful at removing the end date.

You welcome, by the way, you may change the file and save it as another filename, and will have now a new and different campaign.

Aaargh, somehow after I've altered the file, i can't choose a campaign that starts in the early period. I feel so stupid http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif , what could I have done wrong, could someone please help me ou here.

Oh this is the way how i edited it -->

http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif Mmmm i can't see anything weird. What about the big space in SetGameEndDate::, why don't you try the same like the other dates?
