VI year changing.

I didn't know where to post this exactly so I'll just post it here.

I'm in a good game at the moment with the Vikings in the VI expansion pack and the game is telling me I only have 20 years left when I want more time to play about.

How do I make it so I got an extra 500 years or so?

Cheers.

Hey vixtro! ~:wave:

I'm no modder, but if you check out the Repository and the Alchemist lab, you should find the answer there. They cover a whole host of modding questions, and are a good source of information!

Hi ~:wave:

Changing ste starting ending date is very simple. Just go to your MTW folder. In campmap/startpos section open the file of the period you want to change.

Find lines (for viking.txt):

SetStartDate:: 793
SetPeriod:: EARLY
SetEarlyPeriodStartDate:: 793
SetHighPeriodStartDate:: 1205
SetLatePeriodStartDate:: 1321

// And the games End date..
SetGameEndDate:: 1066

Simply change the bolded numbers to start earlier/play to later dates.

knight templar's fix will work, but only for new campaigns.

there is a fix for campaigns in progress, probably over where martok led you. i will poke around later and see if i can find it.

I saw this here and over in the Alchemist lab. Thanks for it but when I set the game end date later I skipped on to see if it would work but the game still ended :no:

Re: VI year changing.

ok, i found it.

To play past 1453 in your current campaign for which you have a saved game, you will need this to patch the save-file:

http://www.3ddownloads.com/totalwar/..._limit_fix.zip

This will set the game current date in your campaign to 1454. Since it makes kings and generals older too it would be best to use it on a game saved in 1453, so they only age by 1 year.

Thanks for that but it only seems to work for the Early,High and Late eras you get with MTW but not The Viking era which I'm doing at the moment.
