How do you make your own conquistadors/explorers?

[unmerged(49075)]

Hey folks...

Me and a friend have played an England and Denmark WATK GC(many thanks to kasperus and FAL) up to 1507, and now we want to start some early colonizing, but the problem is that Denmark hardle get any conquistadors/explorers. I have tried to alter the save file, but that doesn't seem to work, so I could use some help.

Which files do we need to alter in order to give Denmark extra conquistadors/explorers?

Is it possible to make an "immortal" explorer/conquistador, that will live forever unless killed by either attrition or enimies?

You have three options:
1) Manually trigger a "conquistador" event from the F12 console window. To find the right ID, open randomevents.txt and search for "conquistador".
2) Edit Denmark's leaders file ("db/Leaders/leaders.dan" in vanilla). Add something like this:

historicalleader = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 1589 }	# the ID can be changed to any free ID
	category = conquistador		# can make this "explorer" if you want
	name = "Random"			# change to whatever you want
	startdate = {
		year = 1562		# or whatever year you want him to start
	}
	deathdate = {
		year = 2000		# makes him immortal unless killed in battle
	}
	rank = 25
	movement = 4
	fire = 2
	shock = 2
}

3) Edit the savegame. You would basically just add the above into Denmark's leadertable (although perhaps it should be "leader", not "historicalleader"; I'm not certain).

Thanks for the help. It works just fine now.
