Two Turns Per Year Build and Research Times

This mod works perfectly fine with any mod configuration, however I'd like to report a potential balancing issue.

For some reason, it's possible to recruit the Evocati Cohort as a General's bodyguard unit, even though you shouldn't be able to obtain these units until much later on in the game.

This leads to a scenario where if you're still using pre-marian units, Senate Secessionist factions will spawn with 5 units of Praetorians even though you can't recruit them yourself, and you don't have anything that powerful to counter them.

I've been using this along with the 'with seasonal effects version', and have now had the thought.
Are you meant to use them both together at once?
I've always done them both on, to my mind, to get seasonal effects and build and research times.
But suddenly I've got the feeling, is this doubling the effects?
Like, am i getting 2 turns per year, with 4 turns per year times for building, research and aging?

Hello. Thank you for this mod (the best format in my opinion). I join Itharus' analysis about game flow. In 4tpy, I conquested all the map in 50 years with basic armies. This one works perfectly except for the seasons' cycle as mentioned. Thanks again

Thanks man.

Since some people seem to have issues with the new launcher and mods not saying they are updated, I am re-updating various mods to try to help with that issue.

Dang, that's unfortunate. Thanks for letting me know!

Thats just how 2tpy works in the game unfortunately

Dresden, I've noticed that this mod causes the game only to cycle between Summer and Winter -- no spring or autumn. Is that of your design or something the game does automatically? I ask because due to the various bonuses and penalties of the seasons, this makes an impact on the gameplay. Given that the base 1tpy game still cycles through all four seasons, I assume it's something you changed on purpose?

You know it's funny... 4tpy works best with the movement speed of armies and fleets. But I think 2 tpy actually flows better with the family tree and what not. And the building and research going up most definitely helps. Good mods :)
