Changing Leader attributes

[Sabre21]

Hi everyone

It has been a long time since I have posted a thread..but I do lurk here quite often

Anyhoos...I have noticed that there is a problem sometimes if a leader attribute is changed..such as optimum rank or leader trait. If you edit one of these two attributes and start up the game, you will find everything as you changed it.

But...if you restart the computer loading up a fresh game, you find these edited attributes have either reverted back to the original stat or changed to something totally different.

Before you ask..yes..I edit in notepad and save all my work prior to closing. It's a bit frustrating to go thru and do some editing only to have everything change when you restart the game.

As an extra note, I haven't seen any of the other attributes be affected by restarting the comp..such as year of death..that one seems to remain unchanged as do current rank and current skill. Only optimum rank and leadership traits seem to be the problem.

I assume that you're editing the leaders in your save game. If you want to make th change permanent you'll have to edit the .csv-file in db\leaders.

That is an incorrect assumption The db/leader csv file is where I have been editing them.

But thanks for the quick feedback.

Strange, are you sure the file isn't write-protected? That shouldn't be the problem, but it's the only thing I can think of...

No..it's not write protected. Some of the stats remain as they were edited while those in the 2 attributes as mentioned above do change.

I tried this several times just to make sure too before I posted this thread. The optimum leader rank always reverts back to the original stat while the leadership trait value will change to either the original or some other value about 75% of the time.

As for the leadership trait values..I meticulously went through and determined what value each combination of traits equates to..so I know the inserted values are proper.

I think that is the same problem and has the same solution.

That could be it. If the file is backed up to the leader directory you must change the file ending to something else than .CSV.
