Help CSA and OOBs!

[unmerged(41998)]

I'm creating an CSA scenario (oh how creative ) Now I've tinkered with the revolt text and that's all well and good, but I still want more. I want a cold war like atmosphere, with both American and Confederate troops looming over each other from heavily fortified positions. The eastern providences are more fortified than their western counterparts, therefore giving both sides an equal chance of breaking thru in mid west territory. I'm aware of how to edit forts in provinces and etc, but OOBs are complete Greek to me. Also, making the CSA a separate country has only given me pain. I constantly get errors that CSA owns provinces that are USA's and even some that say USA owns USA’s provinces! Could someone help a poor fellow out? This in theory is how it should look:

First off, (having just done a lot of this), you need to go into the folder holding all your .inc files (for the countries) and edit which provinces belong to who. First and foremost make sure that the CSA and USA don't have duplicates in the "owned" and "controlled" sections. When that is done, it should load just fine.

As for OOB ids (which I think you are saying you need) I used 5002 for CSA untils. I also have Texas and Cali in my scenario, so they have 5001 and 5003 respectfully.

Also, in that section, at the top there are a bunch of province = {... } sections. Here you can do single adjustments (or multiple, as if it were a trigger) to the province, for that scenario only. Something like

province = { id = xxx ic = { size = 50 current_size = 50 } } would make the IC in province xxx set to 50. Same goes with air bases and naval bases. AA too. Just look around the inc files. Its pretty easy.

Also, have you checked out the Wiki? Its pretty good.

Hope this helps.
