Firaxis: please let us modify 2050, and why

[Solver]

I would really love it if the guys at Firaxis exposed the 2050 end date in the editor. Since the date only affects one thing, the end date, it's a very easy change to the code.

It's not that I don't finish games before that, I normally do, but you know, sometimes you feel an urge to remove the restriction.

And some people would like to play very slowly, maybe.

Besides... Firaxis is considering letting the Editor add a new Era. Even if PtW doesn't ship with any kind of a future Era (only you Firaxians now), there will certainly be future mods, and, given a whole new era, the 2050 limit might become quite annoying.

Hope you read this and consider it, if not done already.

Thanks!

[Adagio]

I too hope they read this, it wont be any problem doing so...I guess...

[Solver]

No need to guess, it's easy. 2050 is hardcoded, but shouldn't be more than in a few places in the code, so not hard to change it.

Firaxis:

Please read this request,
and please consider it.

Thank you.

Yes! Everyone wants this! Do it now!

[Solver]

I guess we will covince them

[GodKing]

We hope we can convince them !!!!

[DrFell]

Just as long as they don't include it at the expense of MP.

[zulu9812]

I imagine it'll only take a little effort from Firaxis - can't be that hard to change a few lines of code (if that)...

hi ,


, ; lets put a small window in the editor , in there you enter the year you want the game to end , ....

have a nice day

Yes, I would like to have this date changeable. Preferably in the game setup screens, so that you can set it individually for every game you start.

I would not necessarily use it for making the game longer, but to make it shorter, so that the aim is to reach a specific goal in a certain time.

hi ,

or when you start in a certain era , to end it at a certain age , ...

have a nice day

Yeah, I don't see why it'd be hard to just type in an end date in the editor, or a start date for that matter.
Want a 30 years war scenario? You should be able to just key in 1618 as a start and 1648 as the end (though you really might want to put a few years extra on either end, but you get the picture . . . ).
Not only that, but then choose turns by 1: mutli-year, 2: year, 3: season, 4: month, 5: week and perhaps even 6: day. Would be nice if it then showed you how many turns your three choices (start, end, & interval) would generate; 30 years war by season; 120 turns, by month; 360 turns etc.

hi ,

this way one could even put the number of turns an age should last , example , ancient era 100 , next 25 , next 215 , and so on , ....maybe even an "number of turns" for research should be included in every era , ...

have a nice day

Come on Firaxis, it's easy to change.
Maybe not everyone will use it, but everyone will be happy to have this option in the editor.
