48 turns per year / 48 TPY
Hello dear Total-War Fans!
Maybe you do know how annoying it can be to level up an agent/general/etc. – and once he reached an useful level, he dies because of his age…
At least for me this was extremely annoying. The result was that I didn’t use any agents at all and didn’t put much effort in the skilling of my generals/admirals.
Well… and that’s only *one* example, why I got the wish for more time.
However. Let’s stop with the flame and start with the features:
- Each year takes 48 turns now, instead of 1. That are around 1 week per turn.
- Seasons and [Not supported by the engine] aging are synchronous with this time-scale.
- March-range, research and unit production are not effected.
- Since you have a lot of time to level your characters up, it won’t be that hard to unlock Steam-Achievements like "Reach the highest level with XYZ!" – Because of this fact, this mod can also be considered as cheat. Do not use it if you want to gain the achievements with a fair gameplay!!
- Compatible with every other mod which doesn’t effect the time-per-turn-scale.
- The mod is not savegame-compatible!* (But it won’t make your game crash, if you load a savegame with this mod.)
*If you want to use this mod on a savegame, just have a look at the Discussions-Tab of this Mod.
This mod sounds very simple, but this little change might effect your entire gameplay extremely!
– You have more than enough time to skill your characters – and you should use this time, if you do not want to spend a whole age with useless generals/agents/etc.! And remember: The AI knows how to use this time very well!
– The usage of own agents is very recommended! The AI loves to attack other nations with its agents. Therefore their agents will have a high level and this might cause a lot of problems for you, if you have no own (leveled and skilled) agents to fend the attacks!
In my current savegame I had to face agent-attacks of 5 different nations at one of my recent conquered villages! It was hard, but after some time I managed to defeat all the incoming agents and to strengthen my defence.
It was hard and kind of insane! But it was fun too ^^
(I lose more men through agent-attacks, than through real battles.)
– Never let an army march without at least one agent as escort! (Join a big war, and you will know why :P)
– Plan carefully when you want to fight a war! Winter and other seasons take much longer now and you should include this fact in your plans! [Not supported by the engine]

I hope you will enjoy it as I do 🙂
Best Wishes,
