Turns Per Year - What's your setting?

[Ituralde]

I hate short games, so I play on 2 turns per year and can't stand the default timescale.

Campaigns should take at least a week to complete.

I'm on turn 86 in my current campaign and have been playing three weeks now. I like to take it slow but 2 years per turn is ample enough time and gives me some prospect of maybe reaching the America's.

Hopefully when the patch comes out, we can set it to 2 turns per year. I can't mod for my life. I tried modding RTW and made it unplayable.

Anyway, here's what you do. Go to My Computer and open whichever drive you installed M2TW onto. Then go through these files:

Program Files/SEGA/Medieval II Total War/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.

This file is the one you need to mod. Open it. You'll notice a section that says;

start_date 1080 summer
end_date 1530 winter
timescale 2.00

Change timescale to 0.50 for turns to last 6 months.
