Is it possible to change the time between Domestic Policies changes?

[unmerged(10995)]

I'm basically wondering if it's possible to mod that value, to change it from 10 years to X.

From my understanding of reading Third Angel Commands and Triggers list that's not possible to do ingame via events.

Anyway, that was not my main idea, but to change it pregame, so that the player had the same disadvantage than the AI and/or to increase the importance of choosing the right options in the events.

If it's possible to change it, if I change the value to let's say 500, will the player still have the first free Dom Pol from the start?

Hope the question is clear and thanks in advance.

You cannot change that but you do not have to move a DP slider every ten years.

Yes, you're right.

I'm playing like that, but I've been thinking about creating a scenario and while brainstorming, something came to my mind where this approach would be desirable...

Anyway, thanks for the input.

It is possible, but only on the level of game files (i.e. DB/defines.txt, line

_COUNTRY_DPCHANGE_MONTHS_     = 120 #Positive

where you can change it to any other positive value, in months. So, you cannot change it via an event.

Thanks, now I feel stupid. I did look in defines.txt but the list is so long that I somehow missed it.

If I felt stupid each time I oversaw something or made a stupid mistake, my ego would be below ground level, and the size of an ant.

Which it isn't quite...o

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for!

So, if I change it to 500 years (6000 months) that still means that the player gets that first "free" move, right?

Do you have any idea on how to avoid that?

You can avoid it by setting

	policy = {
		date = { year = 1418 }
	}

in the scenario files for every country. That sets the last-changed date of the policy.

Thanks MichaelM.
