If you would like to contribute to Imperium, this is a good opportunity. I need help with implementing the new building system. Lending me a helping hand in this matter will speed things up considerably, and make it possible for me to release v 1.2 (with buildings included) within a couple of weeks. You will of course be credited in the features list.
And now for the job description. Step one is to make a thorough research and carefully consider where (in which province) and when (counted in AUC) to add the new buildings. Make a list and post it here or in a separate thread in this forum.
Step two is to add the buildings to the province history files. Anyone can do this, it just takes some time. I'll give you an example of how to add a military harbour to Cartage in 474.
1) Download the attached file called province.rar. Extract it wherever you want to.
2) Open the province file called 247 - carthage.txt.
3) Add the following code where province history starts (just below split = 30.30.40):
474.1.1 = { military_harbour = yes }
Finished!
Here's a list of the buildings you can use. Misspellings in the code will result in crashes.
A few of these have already been added to the province history files, since they're used in the original building system:
That means that you don't have to worry about them, unless you discover something historically incorrect. I've deliberately left roads out of this list, since they play an entirely different role in the original building system. As opposed to paved roads, the regular roads in my system are plain dirt roads. Quite a lot of provinces will start with those.
Some of the buildings mentioned in province history files will have to be removed, since they're no longer used:
It's important that none of these buildings are left in the province history files. Note that you can replace fort1 with wooden_city_walls and fort3 with stone_city_walls.
Your work will get a lot easier if you use the Scenario Editor for Rome (attached in this post, with moddir adjusted to Imperium). Just move the province history files to the Imperium mod directory and open the jar file.
Finally, I would like to point out that this job can be split up between several persons. Please post here if you're interested in helping me with this.
Thanks,
Descartes
