Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition

Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition

12 Turns Per Year
Update Suggestions & Ideas
It's been a while since this mod was last updated, so I'm taking advantage of that opportunity to suggest a few ideas that could be both (I think) easily implemented in the mod, but that also would give it an appreciable attention to detail, adding on the immersion aspect of the game.

Currently, this 12TPY mod is configured as the following (playing as "Rome"):

Turn 01: Season | Summer; Month | January; Year | 272 BC.
- Subtitle (Season Icon): "Summer" (above) / "January" (below);
- Savegame: "Rome 272 BC January".
Turn 02: Season | Winter; Month | February; Year | 272 BC.
- Subtitle (Season Icon): "Winter" (above) / "January" (below);
- Savegame: "Rome 272 BC February".
Turn 03: Season | Winter; Month | March; Year | 272 BC.
- Subtitle (Season Icon): "Winter" (above) / "March" (below);
- Savegame: "Rome 272 BC March".
Turn 04: Season | Spring; Month | April; Year | 272 BC.
- Subtitle (Season Icon): "Spring" (above) / "April" (below);
- Savegame: "Rome 272 BC April".
And so on...

See the problem there? The seasons are broken right from Turn 01, with January in Summer (as in Vanilla), but then fixing to February in Winter (alright), but then March still in Winter, with a 1-month delay for the "correct" season. That delay wasn't there before.

What I suggest is, considering the time passed since the last update, whether it'd be a nice idea to reformulate in the mod how seasons are arranged from Turn 01 and on, while also changing the subtitle shown when you hover the mouse cursor to the season icon.

For example (playing as Grand Campaign's "Rome"):

Turn 01: Season | Spring; Month | March; Year | 272 BC.
- Subtitle (Season Icon): "Early Spring" (above) / "March" (below);
- Savegame: "Rome; 272 BC, March (ESp)".
Turn 02: Season | Spring; Month | April; Year | 272 BC.
- Subtitle (Season Icon): "Mid Spring" (above) / "April" (below);
- Savegame: "Rome; 272 BC, April (MSp)".
Turn 03: Season | Spring; Month | May; Year | 272 BC.
- Subtitle (Season Icon): "Late Spring" (above) / "May" (below);
- Savegame: "Rome; 272 BC, May (LSp)".
Turn 04: Season | Summer; Month | June; Year | 272 BC.
- Subtitle (Season Icon): "Early Summer" (above) / "June" (below);
- Savegame: "Rome; 272 BC, June (ESu)".
And so on...

So, what do you think, Stealth4Health? And what do you guys think? Is that a good idea, does it add a bit to immersion in-game, would it be nice to look down there and see "Early Spring", for it to have a small touch of attention to detail to it? I'm waiting to see what you guys think of my suggestions to this mod. :)

Thank you for the detailed input. I'll probably wait for the next update + DLC release and try to figure this out at that point (so that I wouldn't need to update it again).
