Any modders know if there's a way to delay awards from being almost immediate? Submersion would be heightened if I got award a medal a month after a feat.

If this is a code thing and impossible just lock this and forget it.


I got fired as the door man at a sperm bank.
Apparently it's in poor taste to tell leaving customers "Thanks for coming."

I know how to delay promotions, but not awards. Maybe someone has an idea?

Delaying promotions sounds pretty nice too, how would one do that? Is it just an xml edit? I've found that (especially in DH2 squadrons, for some reason) I tend to rise rather meteorically about a month in - I'll start at Sergeant and stay there for a while, then over the course of a week or two jump up to captain. It feels weird and kinda immersion-breaking.

What are the criteria for promotion? I've only ever been promoted once. Perhaps the player could be afforded a temporary rank or title like acting flight/squadron commander?

Nothing special:
open OFFINI.txt file located in \campaigns\CampaignData folder in text editor and look for the default value "1500". It determines the number of game points necessary for promotion. If you increase it, you can delay promotion and viceversa
