Play for eternity?

**Sirrvs** · 09-29-2004, 23:10

Hehe, eternity, sort of. Is there a way to mod the game so that old units never become obsolete? For example, I'm playing as the English and I conquered Scandinavia and I got a kick out of integrating Viking units into my armies but then they disappeared from my training options around the year 1200. Any way to make it so that I could still produce Viking units if I wanted to?

[edit]Sorry, bit of a side question too. Are there any mods that let all units be produced in one year? (I always use the .worksundays. cheat because to me it doesn't make sense that it takes years to build things like watch towers and docks, hehe) So I'm looking for a way to make units be produced the same way.

Since most units only take one year to build, I'm not sure what you are asking. As far as the few that take more than one year (i.e. VG, ships), you could simply use the Gnome editor to reduce their build time to 1 year.

i was wondering if there was a way to play eternity,, like not have the game end, and have the years just keep going. Also i was wonderign if there was a way to change the time setting from years,, to seasons like in STW and RTW?

There isn't a way to use the Gnome editor to make units like Viking Huscarles never become obsolete is there?

Yes, use the gnome editor. You can change the training time of all your units. If you open the building production file you'll also be able to change the required time of construction.

In MTW you can't play for eternity, but you can change the end date. Just type the end date you want in the campmap/startpos files. (It's at the beginning of the files, you won't have to seek for long

)

Cool, maybe I'll change the construction time for ships and stuff. But what about the Viking units? They become obsolete (meaning I can't train them anymore) around the year 1200. Is this setting stored somewhere in the units file or is it something that can't be changed?

Yes, also in Gnome editor, collumn 20. Change 'EARLY' into 'ALL_PERIODS' (without the quotation marks).
