BUG: NEW: Cannot edit scenario end date in Victory startup screen

[Chema_Cagi]

Age of Enlightment 1740 fixed end date?

Maybe it's not a bug and it's a "game feature" , but it's not possible to change the end date of the Age of Enlightment scenario. It's fixed to end in 1740, and when trying to change the end date, the numbers appear written in the text line, but game end remains at 1740


Maybe it has been a subject of discussion before, but since it's not listed in the bug list, and it only happens with this scenario, I though of it as a bug

I've noticed this with US 1.05 (although I didn't look at it never before)

Did you change it in both the "The Age of Enlightement.eug" and "1700.inc" files? I suspect both are required.

I was referring to the scenario selection screen; all the other scenarios seem to have a modifiable end date but the Enlightment one


(Anyway I have solved the problem by using the editor and creating a taylor-made 1700-1819 scenario )

Ahh, you're talking about the Victory menu in the Start screens, I thought you'd edited the files. I didn't even know you could edit that number there, and if it is supposed to be effective if you do.

Let me see.

Doesn't look like anyone knows for sure, but I'll bet that field is not supposed to be editable - you would have to change it in the text files as I mentioned above for it to be effective.

Wrong! Johan just confirmed it is a bug - it is supposed to work. Bugzilla bug 2497 public bug 314. Thanks.
