Play marathon games at historic speeds. More war early on, more discovery, and less building/city spam.

I tried it many times. You can play a lot of nice large-scale wars, and the city development feels real because I kept the cost of buildings and wonders.

Marathon speed and more war! Reduced base cost of melee and ranged land units. Installation (including tanks) is reduced a bit. Normal charges for naval and air forces. Also, higher maintenance units (but not rebuilding), so you need a strong economy and industry to support a stronger army. Otherwise you're like North Korea where they only have cheap units. Buildings, setters, and wonders cost the same as they would have been (original speed). So yes, it feels real!

Please give it a try.

Play Marathon game in Historical Speed. More wars, more discovery, less building/city spam in early era.

I test-played many times. You can play many nice big scaled wars, and city development feels real since I kept buildings and wonders cost.

Marathon speed with more wars! Reduced base cost for melee and ranged land units. Reduced a little for mounted (including tanks). And normal cost for naval and air units. Also, higher upkeep for units (but not recons), so you need a strong economy and industry to support a stronger army. Otherwise you are like North Korea where there are only cheap units. Also buildings, settelers, and wonders cost as same as it should be (original speed). So yeah it feels real!

Please try it out.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
