!!! Working with the 4tpy script: !!!!
1. Start up BarebonesWars like normal. Start a new campaign. After the campaign finishes loading, the Victoria campaign advisor pop-up window will appear. The advisor pop-up window will be blinking. Click on the blinking Victoria portrait. This will open the advisor text window, letting you know that the 4 turns-per-year script is waiting for you to start it. Click on the "Show Me How" button. This will start the 4 turns-per-year script and close the Victoria campaign advisor pop-up window. The 4 turns-per-year mod has been started and you can start enjoying your campaign.

2. To reactivate the 4 turns-per-year script when you load a saved campaign, load the saved campaign like normal. Once your saved campaign has finished loading, either click on the faction button or select any of your cities, this will cause the Victoria advisor pop-up window to appear. The advisor pop-up window will be blinking. Click on the blinking Victoria portrait. This will open the advisor text window, letting you know that the 4 turns-per-year script is waiting for you to start it. Click on the "Show Me How" button. This will start the 4 turns-per-year script. If this is the first time you have loaded a saved campaign since starting this session of Rome Total Realism, the advisor pop-up window will automatically close. However, upon the second or more times of loading a saved campaign during this session of Rome Total Realism, you will have to close the advisor pop-up window yourself. This is normal behavior for this mod. I have not yet figured out why this occurs, but it will not affect your gameplay. If you forget to click on the faction button, or select any of your cities, and end your turn, you will have to reload your saved campaign again to insure proper start-up of the 4 turns-per-year script.

3. As a suggestion to help you remember which season a saved campaign was in, I would recommend the following format for the naming of saved campaigns...

"Season_Year" (Don't use the quotes in the saved campaign name. What you need to type is inside the quotes.)
Example 1: Saved campaign was during the Spring of 255BC.
Name the saved campaign "Spring_255BC".
Example 2: Saved Campaign was during the Autumn of 1AD.
Name the saved campaign "Autumn_1AD".
