Time

[Irishman3]

How do I reduce the turn time to one year instead of one turn=two years?

In your Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder, look for the file named descr_strat.txt. Open it with Notepad (or any other text editor), find the line that reads:

timescale 2.00

Change it to:

timescale 1.00

Start the game and you should see the change immediately. There is a very good Howto/FAQ over at the official forums that covers this (and much more) here:
