life span

does increasing turns per year increase the life span of my agents and generals?

Yes, the mods that increase turns per year also increase the lifespan of characters.

yea technically this guy is right. they live the same amount of years. they just last more turns, because each turn is now less than one year

Generals and agents age bassed on the years not the turn number .So you could make it 12 turns per year and they will age at that rate .I like 3 turns per year myself

Just a question - part way through my latest campaign, so wouldn't add the mods until I restart, but do any of the mods introduce seasons, either summer/winter as per Empire, or 4 seasons as per Shogun 2? Do they make any graphical changes, or introduce any of the movement/attrition changes that you saw in Shogun 2?

If those sorts of changes are introduced then the mods make sense - if not, I'm not that bothered.

thanks guys for the feedback. i downloaded a 12 turn per year mod and now my general is at least not gonna die as soon.

Does multiple turns per year affect anything other than how long a general lasts?
Was thinking about DLing one just fdor that...but if it throws anything else outta balance I don't want to bother.

The upcoming DLC scheduled for release on December 12th is supposed to have seasons, and it's 24 turns per year, so I hope it has graphical representations of that on the campaign map.

Edit: Any future mods with seasonal changes will probably use features from this DLC, so I suggest getting it. I'm not using any mods yet for this game though, so I'm not sure about this, just a guess :)

Yeah, hard to imagine a mod could affect Attrition in Winter or Summer - or food supply. But possibly movement rate and morale?
Aside from Attrition, Food, Movement or Morale - is there anything else one might expect to be affected by Seasons - at a strategic level - that could feasibly be implemented in game?

Rome: Total War had 2 seasons; summer and winter. Both had advantages and disadvantages for relevant armies, including attrition, food, movement rate and morale like you mention.

Also if you kept your army stationary in enemy territory for an extended period, the landscape changed, reflecting how the army spent all natural resources close to it and sullied the nature.

When this happened, the army had to move on to another area, or else they would succumb to attrition.

I've been missing this feature in Rome 2, so I hope the DLC will bring it back :)
