Rush Build Orders

[mir]

Why oh why can't we rush completion of buildings in ONE turn instead of many many???

I've been wondering about this since the first days of Shogun:Total War!

I mean, honestly, I don't want to but by jingo, if I do, I've got the men, I've got the parts and I've got the money, too!

And it takes several months or years between turns so why can't we spend additional cash to rush buildings?!

Realistically, yes, maybe we can set a minimum time limit as to how fast a building can be completed as some things just can't be rushed for money or men but still, it should be a viable option...

E.g. For buildings that take 3 or less turns to build, we can rush them in 1 turn. For those taking more than 3 turns to build, the minimum time it takes to build could be 2 turns and of course, we'd be paying bucketloads extra to rush it. But at least, we have that option available!

for some things that would be fantastic! Town halls, bars, advanced stables should all have a quick build option since they wherent really the largest structures.


A cathedral on the other hand is something that cannot be rushed, even in modern times they take years to complete!

you can do this using the dev console

hit the tilde (~`) button to open the console

type 'process_cq <settlement>'

where you replace <settlement> with the name of the settlement

ie. process_cq Constantinople

all buildings in the build queue will be instantly completed

Oooh. Nice. Thanks PhonicsMonkey.

Still, it'd be nice to be able to do it as part of the game and not having to resort to the ~ button... Heheh.

Edit: PS. Is that the ORIGINAL name of the settlement or the one I'm currently using? Because I've renamed all my cities to Turkish names - so Constantinople is now Istanbul.

I don't know, sorry

haven't tried it on a re-named settlement

I believe if you change the name of the settlement, the game files will reflect it for that save and you should use the updated name instead.

If you change the name of a file on your computer, that's its new name. I would think the same thing applies to the descr_strat or whatever the file name is. I'm going to change the name of that file to "yeah, that file" so everyone knows which one I'm talking about.
