Europa Universalis 2 Unlimited Time Patch v2.0
(c) Moctezuma 2003

DISCLAIMER
----------------
This software is not associated with Paradox Entertainment and I do not take any responsibility for any adverse effects this utility might have on your game or other software. Use it at your own risk!

FEATURES
----------------
Europa Univeralis 2 is designed to simulate 1419 to 1820 period. However the same game engine with little modifications can be easily used for much wider period. This utility allows you to design and play any scenario since 0 AD and later on! (Unfortunately BC years are not supported because the game cannot handle negative values). 

WARNING: This patch modifies EU2.exe. Backup copy of original file is automatically stored as EU2.backup.exe. 

This patch does not affect existing scenarios. 

USAGE
------
At first extract all files from the archive into game directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Strategy First\EU2).
Following file should be extracted:
  EU2UnlimitedPatch.exe

HOW TO PLAY BEFORE 1419: 
This is very easy:
1. In the globaldata part of scenario (INC file) change entry startdate to desired date. 
2. Start EU2UnlimitedPatch.exe. Press Run! to apply this patch.
3. Start the game and play!  

HOW TO PLAY PAST 1819: 
To extend the game past 1819 you must do following:
1. Start EU2UnlimitedPatch.exe. Press Run! to apply this patch.
2. Start the game and play! 

Note:
As you can see it is no longer necessary to change victory conditions in scenario to "Mission" (like in first version) because in this version I also disabled "End scenario dialog".

The scenario creators will have to use special event to end scenario at desired date: 

event = { 
	id = xxxxx 
	name = "End of the scenario"
	desc = "You have now reached the end of the scenario (Press F1 to see the final victory points)" 

	style = 0
	date = { day = x month = x year = x } # the date that finishes the scenario
	action_a = {
		name = "OK"
		command = { }
	}
}

Silent Mode:
If you use command line option "-s" program automatically patches eu2.exe without user input (good for installers).
