Changing the campaign length...

[trickydicky]

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.

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.

I think MedManager can modify savegames in that regard. Not sure if it works with the new patch versions though.

Yes Medmanager will let you change the dates it was updated for 1.03
There is some conflicts with certain mods.

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.
