How to disable Winter?

[esM Baemm1337]

Winter in this game is just so damn boring. Its just sitting there and waiting for it to end. Absolute waste of time. Can you shorten winter somehow? Maybe edit some .ini file or something? Winter is never a problem for me, always got enoght men and money, but the freaking waiting kills the game for me every time.

have you considered just not waiting?
with berries and the boar, you can almost ignore winter and still conquer an island, it just adds a little extra challenge.

if you move relatively quickly, you can get to island 5 a few days before winter starts, and then build up and fortify there, and winter will probably be over before you clear the small portals.

honestly, if you find yourself waiting out winter, those 15 days will make your endgame ultimately much harder.

(as an aside, no there is no way whatsoever to simply disable winter. there are plenty of ways to cheat, though, like changing the global day count directly in the save file after gunzip and then re-gzip, but its somewhat complicated to do and definitely will spoil the mechanics of the game)

Winter is my least favorite season, but it's all part of the game. You can just keep your troops alive, defenses up and save money as much as possible getting ready for Spring. Build the boat, expand, and fight.

hahahaha, very insightful and scathing rebuff.....except that there TOTALLY IS an option to disable enemies (peaceful), and it has an intended audience who appreciates it.

while i also think disabling winter would ruin the game, i would like to point out that complaining about a facet of the game being boring is different than complaining about it being hard.

i am still of the opinion that winter is only boring if you play extremely conservatively. the income-generating new features (bushes, boar, fishing) make it so that you don't need to just wait, and you certainly dont need to 'stack your coffers' or whatever.

i think the OP's complaint is valid, as the game almost encourages waiting. the devs should stop suggesting a play style that treats winter in K2C the same as winter in NL (where there was no income whatsoever), because it is a fundamentally different experience.

good joke. literally nobody would play a game with no gameplay. what's the point in growing your kingdom if you have to never defend it? you're literally finished with the game by the time you started it since there's nothing else to do but kill the portals in the first place

this is an actual feature that exists in Kingdom Two Crowns. it's called 'Peaceful' difficulty, and it exists in other games as well (most notably minecraft, from which the term was probably borrowed).

in peaceful mode, zero enemies spawn, until and unless you attack a portal. the point is for people who like the vibes, but not the stress. (i am not such a person, i believe the stress of kingdom is it's greatest value, but i also love the vibes and want those people to enjoy the vibes as well)
