Code?

[Swordsman1219]

I as New England cannot seem to build a colonial fortress in one of my remaining claims that I took from GB... How would I edit the save so that the province has a colonial fortress?

PS: New England cannot for whatever reason build colonial buildings herself all it says is "Impossible" even though I have the needed resources.

The cause of the problem, AFAIK, can be either:

- You have lower prestige than others countries with claims in the region you want to colonize.
- You don't have a naval base with enough range or close enough if it's a coastal province OR you don't have territory nearby the region.
- It's life rating is below your minimum colonization life rating.

how do i increase naval range, and how do i check the LR of the province so i can find out how to lower it, or how can i edit the save(what do I have to add to the file) to give myself the fortress in the province, what is the proper code for the fortress. Is it "Colonial_fortress"

does anyone know

By upgrading naval bases; a new naval base level becomes available with each railroad tech.

and how do i check the LR of the province so i can find out how to lower it,

You would have to make it higher, actually.

province = { 
    id = 17 
    [COLOR="Red"]life_sustainability = 15[/COLOR] 
    goods = timber 
    amount = 25 
    }

You would have to change the number in the field indicated to a higher one. 25 should do.

or how can i edit the save(what do I have to add to the file) to give myself the fortress in the province, what is the proper code for the fortress. Is it "Colonial_fortress"

does anyone know

province = { 
    id = 285 
    life_sustainability = 40 
    [COLOR="Lime"]claim = fort
    claimant = "TAG"[/COLOR] 
    goods = fish 
    amount = 15 
    }

Include the indicated parts in the province's entry in the save game, replace TAG with your country's tag.

I did as you said, and now I have one of the colonial buildings in each province(one has a mission one a fort one a coaling station and one a trade post) it is a 4 province land that I want to claim, but when I look for claim colony its greyed out, and says I need to either have all the lands in the colony(which I do) or one of each building in each land which I do. So I'm confused

That's weird. Maybe you're missing something? Which colony is it?

 

[Swordsman1219]

It is the Gold Coast
the provinces are Bathhurst which has a Mission
Freetown which has a Coaling Station
Sekondi which has a Trading Post
Accra which has the Colonial Fortress

So why doesn't it work guys?

I have no idea. I'll look into it if you upload the save.

here is the link: http://www.4shared.com/file/l-o-9H0A/save_games.html

this is using VIP 0.45 btw

anybody at all?

 

[Swordsman1219]

Andre- did you try the save?

Andre- did you try the save?

I think the problem is that VIP has colonization bans. If you delete these lines from your save (lines 85-93), it might work:

    treaty = { 
        id = { type = 4712 id = 918892 } 
        type = colony_stop 
        country = "NEN" 
        country = "NEN" 
        continent = 5 
        startdate = { year = 1836 month = january day = 1 } 
        expirydate = { year = 1890 month = january day = 1 } 
        }

it worked perfectly thanks...

how can i gain more population like Pops in the area of Hartford because I have a few factories there that are understaffed and the area just isnt getting population like what New York is(NY has like 80 pop, Hartford like 8)

 

[Andrelvis]

You mean more immigration? I'm not sure there's anything you can do that could alter that, as it's linked with how many provinces the state in question has.

 

[Swordsman1219]

Hartford(Connecticut) has 1 province NY has 5 I wish I had more pops in Hartford because I have factories I need to fill lol

Is there a working NTL patch for Victoria 1.04?

Yes, you can find it here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=219984

 

[Swordsman1219]

I tried those, none of which work... a couple of the links are dead

Andre- Do you know the values to edit using a hex editor to change the end date of the game?
or best yet do you have a working 1.04 NTL patch
