Form now on time will be calculated in Months, instead of Years.

Many players agreed that currently years go by too fast compared to how much the map changes. On many long simulations, the years go into tens of thousands quite quickly. Simulating thousands of years from a WW2 map or such seems kind of pointless.

After this update, what used to be a 1000 year simulation would turn into a 83 year simulation. I might adjust this in the future so go test it out and tell me what you think.



In addition, many have asked for a way to set a custom start year, and that is now possible in Scenario maker!

For those wondering if you should replace all your Workshop Scenarios with proper start dates, I would not do that yet, as I will try to make updating workshop items possible in the near future. If you want to play scenarios with different start dates, you can simply click edit scenario, change start date and click play. It shouldn't break anything.
