What started as a simple mod of x4 in advance costs, turned into a larger mess when I approached AoM.
Cradle III is my current choice of game type with this mod approach, as (so far) I only have to modify two files, and doesn't have a heavily scripted (slc) architecture.
what the basic premise is:
going into
diff_db and changing # of turns, and years per turn to match a certain ratio to end up with similar end year per age...
and
advances?.txt and changing the costs to x4
Thank god for a tool called ctpedit that allowed me to mass modify advance costs...
but with Ages of Man... there was a lot more to be edited, to include slic files with references to g.year...
However... even when I got it working (wasn't sure if I could ever find where the king's lifespan was defined), I'd have weird bugs in my game, sometimes at around turn 2000...
one time I couldn't attack units after a certain turn.
Anyways... I have a list (at home, I'm at work) that showed all the files I changed and what rules I applied, anyone care to help me go through the list and see where I can improve, what I might be missing?
