Is the text associated with turns/dates/timekeeping moddable?

from GalCiv2 Forums
There are a few nitpicking whiners, like myself, who would like to change the turns lable from weeks to months, or even something else. I have done some thinking about it, and think it would be too much of a major change, too low priority, and quirte possibly (based on some responses by other forum members with regard to this topic) unpopular to make to the official game.


That being said: Would it be possible for those who wish to tinker with changing the labels of turns to modify this in their own game?

If this would speed up the tech tree turns I'd want this more then any other mod especially if it was able to be changed by the user. this is a real petpieve for me I love the game but it is such a time drainer. A speedier tech tree would be awesome

The change he is proposing would only change the word "weeks" to something else, not change the actual game in any way.

Avatar Frogboy, has stated that the weeks thing is moddable, but without mentioning any details that I've seen. I have not yet dug into the files to do this one, but I plan to.

O, and by the way, when you start a game from scratch, you can set the tech tree speed to fast or very fast. Look at the options at the bottom of the screen, Breeze0.

Look in the Data directory for the English.str file. You can modify alot of the in game text from this file, as well as changing Ability Bonuses. However, you would probably have to change alot of entries from week to month to get it all to look right in game.
