Options for Game End Dates

[MJY]

Hey all,

I have been playing the SC-WiE "Fall Weiss 9.1" mod a lot lately. And I have some questions:

(i) Am I correct in saying that the absolute latest the game can go is the end of the May 19, 1947 turn?

(ii) Is there any way that the game can be set to go "forever?"

(iii) Has there ever been consideration to adding an "unlimited play/forever" option to the settings? I understand most players might not want this option, but some (like myself and my regular opponent) might find it an interesting option. Perhaps it could be something players could choose or not choose at the start of a game (e.g., like hard or soft build limit option).

In Settings, Advanced, Disable game end (you can turn it on after the game has started in SP). I'm not sure if it works for MP games or how long it has been an option.

El_Condoro,

We did that. Disable Game End was selected by my opponent. But the game just ended on the May 19, 1947 turn.

I don't know if this is connected, but there was no last ten turns warning "countdown" in this game either (as we have experienced in the past). The game just ended.

It was a real shame, too. It was an absolutely EPIC match to this point. I wish we could go back and finish it.

The mod designer will need to answer this one. I had a look at the many Victory and Decision scripts and there is a decision to extent the game to 1948 that is offered in late 1944. The game is set to end in 1947 but this decision should allow play into 1948. However, as this is someone else's mod, it would be best if they explain the design intention.
