Changing the campaign length...
Hi guys.
I've started a new campaign as England and I've selected a short campaign by mistake. Now I know I can just restart it which is no big deal, I'm only 20 turns in. I just wondered if anyone knows of a way to amend the campaign length halfway through?
Just curious really.
Re: Changing the campaign length...
No. All changes to the desc_strat (which is how you make it longer) only take effect at the game start, which is how play by e-mail games work so well.
To make it longer, (this is from memory) go to the desc_strat file, under where the playable/unlockable/unplayable factions are should be:
campaign start date
campaign end date
Modify those (may not be those exact names, but very close) and that will extend/shorten your campaign.
Re: Changing the campaign length...
I think MedManager can modify savegames in that regard. Not sure if it works with the new patch versions though.
Re: Changing the campaign length...
Yes Medmanager will let you change the dates it was updated for 1.03
There is some conflicts with certain mods.
Re: Changing the campaign length...
Thanks for the replies guys.
I've looked at the start/end date pevergreen but that's as it should be; 1080-1530, so it's not that one (That was my first thought too).
I'll check out MedManager, thanks for that Faction and Northnovas. I think I might restart it anyway once I've mopped the French up. I get to wipe out the Scots again. :evilgrin:
