  • You can only recruit each specific legendary once per game
  • The AI can also only get them one time with the same rules as the player

Power Level
  • Power level increases as you expand
  • Each province you capture adds to your power level
  • The higher level castles in your provinces add to your power level
  • As your power level increases, so does the upkeep for your armies & navies


Economy, Food & Trade
  • Multiple buildings added for player to balance food, money & defense
  • Building construction times increase as the game goes on
  • Power level dictates unit upkeep
  • Scripted inflation at 3%/year for recruiting units & building buildings

The easiest way is to save the game on turn 1 then download editsf and edit that save file to 24 turns. You should be able to find instructions online. The way to do it so all of your new games are 24 turns is to get pack file manager and extract the startpos file from my main mod, edit it with editsf the same way you edit a save file. Upload it back to the main mod and save the mod with a different name so my updates don't revert it back to 12 turns. Keep in mind that if you do that, the seasonal effects from my mod will still be acting like it's 12 turns. You'd have to edit the script to change that, which isn't as hard as it sounds.

I love to play this 24 turns per year. how can i do that?
Castian 17 Jul @ 7:15am 
Almost love the mod, I can surely say it's amongst the best overhauls, plus the add-ons, it's a completely new and amazing way to play, however, I cannot stand the magical units, for any faction, if there would be a way to shut them down or be an optional addon to remove them, it'll be perfect.

Also I managed to overcome the economy, but I have to say I did not enjoyed the increasing "power tax", it's not only confusing, but outright diminishes planning and moving slowly, in one turn you have a good economy, next turn a -6000 gold and -11 food for no reason and forces you to go and conquer land only to stop inflation, a few years of reworking and repeat again.

Having said that, loved the cards, family system rework, new tier and coloring for units, loved the idea of unique legendary units, but hated the magical purle nuke guys, also loved the new visuals, UI, sounds and music.

I would load the sound fix last, other than that it doesn't matter.
Pioter 2 Jun @ 5:15am 
Is there a specific load order to the Main mod and Addons? Or will the build in TotalWar mod loader sort them correctly?
fourstrider  [author] 1 Jun @ 12:49pm 
The tech tree wouldn't be possible without significant work. The quests would take less work but not something I think I would do. Other people are welcome to make it.

Is it possible to make the Quest and the Tech tree as Standalone mods ?
Gestalt 27 May @ 10:56am 
Thanks for the clarification!
fourstrider  [author] 27 May @ 9:30am 
When I say not compatible, it doesn't look like anything in there will break the game and make it not load however some of the stuff I'm seeing will either break the balance I set for the game or just break the immersion and look completely out of place. I think you might get some of the old general portraits pop up and some of the units stats will change.
fourstrider  [author] 27 May @ 9:19am 
Yeah that mod wouldn't be compatible. A lot of what it fixes has either been fix in my mod or is not applicable because of the changes I've made. It looks like he's linked all the individual changes so if there's something specific you wanted to change and still play my overhaul then I'd just select those things individually otherwise you'll have a lot of mod conflict doing this entire thing.
