Question about editing Scenario Timescale

[mp84]

Hey Everyone,

With Patch 1.1, in the changelog it says:

"* Functionality - Exposed scenario timescale in scenario XML. If "iTurnsPerMonth" is found in the Scenario XML, it will override the default scale of 16 turns per month (every 4 seconds). If the timescale is greater than 60 (a new month every 15 seconds), the date display will also display the current day of the month. "

I tried to looking for the "iturnspermonth" in the scenario.xml of each scenario and I couldn't find it, so it leads me to believe that I need to add in that line, however, the question is where do I add in the line?

Thanks!, if this has been repeated before I'm sorry, but I searched for a good while and could not find any info on this.

thanks!

lol,

Post this , then I figure it out on my own go figure

Well for those that were curious about the answer as well, basically, all I did was put it directly on top of the eras like this:

"<iTurnsPerMonth>75</iTurnsPerMonth>
<Eras>
<Era>
<iEraBeginMonth>9</iEraBeginMonth>
<iEraBeginYear>1850</iEraBeginYear>
<iEraEndMonth>12</iEraEndMonth>
<iEraEndYear>1899</iEraEndYear>
<szEraName>From Sea to Shining Sea</szEraName>"

And it shows the days now in the game which is really cool , as that was kind my biggest complaint of the game is that everything was happening so fast hehe..

Well hope this help some people now I guess

take care

There's a very simple explanation, along with other things, at this site:

if you change the turns (to 75 as in the example) change the ending years.

Otherwise you'll do like I did and be finished with all objectives and the computers bought out (on Baron level) in only 6 years of play time, with 40+ years to go (1 day at a time)
