You don't need a tool! ~:)
Find where your MTW is installed. Go to the sub-directoryand in the filesCode:Medieval - Total War\campmap\startpos
find the following lines:Code:EARLY.TXT
HIGH.TXT
LATE.TXT
After them addCode:SetStartDate:: 1321
SetPeriod:: LATE
SetEarlyPeriodStartDate:: 1087
SetHighPeriodStartDate:: 1205
SetLatePeriodStartDate:: 1321
where nnnn is your prefered year.Code:SetEndDate:: nnnn

Err....would not going to the present 'SaveGame' file be more appropiate ?
Which tool to use to alter it I do not know.
This post is in error. Blame it on a bad memory and not double checking my facts.

I assume this will work in MedXL as well as Vanilla.

:yes: Same engine, same limitations.
.
do I have to change all of the startpos txt files or just one?
can I have differant end dates for differant campaigns?
.
You need to change each file for the corresponding campaign. If you're playing Early, changing EARLY.TXT will suffice.
So yes, by adding different ending dates to the corresponding files.
.
savegame compatible?
.
Yes, AFAIK/IIRC. :yes:
.
excellent. gives me a few more years to drop a hammer with the Golden Horde.
I always found the 1453 end date very arbitrary. 1521 is much more sensible.
.
What's the significance of 1521; Karl V's coronation? *checks* Nope, that would be 1519 or 1530. What then; Luther's excommunication? (Thanks to Wiki)
I would make it 1492. :yes:
.
From the top of my head isn't it when Cortes conquered the Aztecs? Or was that the other bloke with the Incas? I also think it was in the heat of the Italian Wars between Spain and Italy.
.
Yep, Cortes thing. :yes:
.
can I inquire as to how you know so much about the past? then again, this is coming from the mind of a 15 yr old studying modern history.
Many members here are very interested and knowledgeable in history. This becomes painfully obvious whenever CA releases a new game or x-pack and the unit rosters are exposed in all their glory. ~DQuote:

Don't try this trick with the Gold Edition 2.01, it will disable your .exe.:jawdrop:

:gah:
.
when I added the SetEndDate nnnn, the game wouldn't even play for some wierd reason.
.
Maybe it's the syntax?
SetEndDate, two colons, one tab, your date; and it must be placed after the other date declarations.Code:SetEndDate:: 1500
