Open savegame and at the top you should find something like this:

    ENG = { 
        desc = "ENG_DESC" 
        picture = "scenarios\data\latin_data.bmp" 
        countrytactics = "ENG_DESC" 
        missioncountry = "" 
        missiontactics = "" 
        playername = "England : " 
        countrydifficulty = 4 
        countryeconomy = 3 
        countrymilitary = 4 
        countrydiplomacy = 3 
        missiontype = -15 
        }

Just delete all such instances that are not your nation.

(It will look slightly different, the example I presented is from an EU2 savefile)

(Use a normal text editor, like notepad)

(Backup your save first)

hi newb here,
i tried to edit my saved game as you instructed by deleting all the:

    ENG = { 
        desc = "ENG_DESC" 
        picture = "scenarios\data\latin_data.bmp" 
        countrytactics = "ENG_DESC" 
        missioncountry = "" 
        missiontactics = "" 
        playername = "England : " 
        countrydifficulty = 4 
        countryeconomy = 3 
        countrymilitary = 4 
        countrydiplomacy = 3 
        missiontype = -15 
        }

for the nations other than my own. i also searched for instances of major = yes and changed them to major = no for nations other than my own.

if i do either one, the game will load but i will be unable to annex a major nation. if i do both things, the game will fail to load and crash.

any help would be appreciated! i have EU1 and patched 1.10 also.

Hmm.. I thought I tried to post here a few hours ago, but it seems it failed?

I'd guess it _might_ be something with brackets, or maybe something with editor not saving ok, but it sounds pretty wierd.

Check your PM for my e-mail if you want me to take a look.

or alternatively you could just install the IGC and make yourself the only playbel nation

Im not sure you can edit a SAVEFILE to remove majors.. well you might be I have never done it though. Anyway, Niks description is the way to go to edit the eug file before you start the game and thus it should work all fine, so in worst case scenario just play it all over again

Yeah, I did that to Spain. Just erase all traces of them, and move their provinces to your owned, controlled, and national (if you want) provinces list.

I did it once..

(I had started a game I liked, but with several other 'playable nations')

thanks for all the help everybody. i still haven't been able to edit the save file but i did edit the eug file and started a new game and that did work - i'll probably just stick to that for a while =p

It's most fun to do the same thing kinda to every nation you annex, that is, right before you annex them, save, go into the file, move all their leaders to your leaderfile, reload it, and annex. Voila, now you aren't limited to just leaders born in your historical nation.
