Editing the HRE

[unmerged(9580)]

Im fiddling about with the Great War scenario, and i was wondering: is there any way to change the borders of the HRE? ive looked around, im guessing the province.csv file has the answer, or you have to edit the countries files. is there a way of setting the boundaries according to ownership?
help!

You can remove specific provinces from the HRE by giving them to France, the Netherlands, or the Ottomans (possibly any Sunni/Shiite country, though I haven't tested it), or enabling the Council of Trent (which removes Switzerland and Italy from the HRE); otherwise, you're stuck with it as it is.

thats not very useful when trying to make a country called belgium, or poland etc. surely there must be a reason why france and the netherlands can do this? does anyone no if it is hard-coded?

Yes - it is hardcoded.

so is there any way of editing it at all?

No.

Has anyone found out how to edit Adjacent.tbl ? If so you could swap the id numbers of the HRE with those of a bunch of ocean provinces, and then change Adjacent.tbl so that Kleves isn't adjacent to the Soloman Sea.

Err I didn't explain that awfully well did I

Tanone has made an editor to edit adjacent.tbl, but that won't help here since there is no apparant way to "swap the ids" for the HRE.

So we'd have the Holy Atlantean Empire?

It actually might work, if you're careful; province 311, for example, would still be in the HRE even though it's now part of the Southern Indian Ocean instead of Magdeburg (which gets the Southern Indian Ocean's old id of 1311).

You'll need to fiddle the map files also, though IIRC Inferis has decoded all the ones with references to province ID.

I wouldn't want to try to actually implement it, though, even if it does work. If nothing else, debugging would be nightmarish.

screwing with .tbl files hurts my head
