I figured out long ago how to work around the one install at a time the game disc will want to let me have so i have the old build mods and vannila game still on my computer each with their own files and so on and today i decided to fart around in the base game for a bit. It was an interesting Journey to be sure after editing the resolution and fixing the damnable controls i embarked from oxbay and took a brief tour of the old map and a thought occurred to me, well a couple of thoughts actualy the first being holy heck i forgot just how much work went into new horizons and the second being that i rely want too have a mess with the time periods i was fond of the Armour the dutch Portuguese and Spaniards were wearing but only early explorers period has them (well the edited ones) i have a feeling from looking through the periods settings and other files that if i attempted anything to bring those models forward it would probably break the game sompthing horrific and incite all manner of watermelons , tomatoes and eggs to be thrown at me by the people who worked so obviously hard to get the periods working so i guess rely that leaves me here i could be looking at this completely the wrong way i dont know so i guess being that i might never know otherwise its just best to walk myself out on the plank here and ask -
is it possible to tweak what time period the storyline are set in or simply make the early explorers guards / soldiers present in the later time periods ?
