Scenario game speed

[Craig_Sutter]

In a scenario map, is there a way to allow users to select the game speed. In my scenario, I have set the game speed to marathon in the world builder... I see no way to make this optional. When I play the scenario, even though another game speed is selected in the selection screen, the game still goes to the default setting in worldbuilder.

I would like those who play my map to be able to select the game speed they wish rather than as set in the world builder.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

I suppose, unless I get better advice, including a different map for each speed in the scenario is the way to go.

Can you even change the game speed from what is set in the map? I don't know.

One way you can easily find out is to hack the lua of one of the DLC scenarios to change the game speed, play a few turns, and see what speed you're on.

If that works, you'll then need to convert the map to a scenario (there is a tutorial on doing this) and change the scenario start up screen to include a game speed menu, which will be a case of ripping the code out of the standard game setup screen and adding it into the scenario screen - as you're using a fixed map and not a map/map script choice you can reuse the space from that option

Thank-you... I'll investigate that. I intended to make a scenario as in your tutorial in any case... I'll see if I can work it out as you suggest.
