Couple of "how to?"'s

[th3freakie]

Greetings all!

Came to ask for some help with my AAR, needing some slight modding to balance a couple of things.

First, solving a certain issue with a surrender event meant my adversary (Germany) lost more units then it should - and is now essencialy unarmed. I'd like to give them some free units - how can that be done? Save file?

Also, my alliance leader France seems to have a glitch asking other states to join in - in essence, they don't. They wouldn't even let me in although I had a 100 chance (until an event got me in).
How do I edit the save file to make me alliance leader?

Thanks in advance everyone!

1) The event commands you need are listed here: http://www.paradoxian.org/hoi2wiki/index.php/Event_Commands#Commands

2) Find the list of alliances near the beginning of the savegame file (the text is like axis = { country country country} ) and move your country tag to the front of the list.

Just one question though - if I am to create an event, how can I know wich ID to use?

The safest thing to do is give all your custom events really high ID#'s, like 7 or 8 digits. Then you never have to worry about conflicts.
