Limiting the number of divisions

[Darkrenown]

I'm not saying this is a good idea, but what you could do is go through all the major's ai files (victoria\DB\ai) and find the line:

desired_army_size 		=	-1

Then change -1 to whatever you want the limit to be, say 100 or 200.

To 3!?! You know, that's going to totally screw up the game, right? Besides, they start out with more than 3. Also, don't forget ships could towards military power too.

Ahh, you you don't just want to improve perfomance after all

Seriously, this is a much bigger cheat than neville, and using neville would be much easier. But if your set on this course you could edit the AI like I said before and also look in the Victoria\scenarios\GC folder and open the .inc files (eg Victoria\scenarios\GC\eng.inc for the UK), then scroll down untill you see the army/navy sections and delete it, that'll make them start with no army or navy.

Do what the above post says, but set the desired_army_size in the AI file to 10 or 20. That should do what you want.

alt one momnet! i have now test your metod darkrenown but it doesn't work

in 1836 the military power of austria at the beginning of the game is 12 i've modified the ai files to 12 army and 0 navy,i've start with prussia i've declared
war to austria,but the military power of austria has growth (13,14,15)..
have you tested this metod???

Sorry, according to the AI file's instructions that should stop them from building units What if, just before you fight you open the save game and remove the units from there? You may not be able to stop them building, but you could remove them before they could be used.

Darkrenown -- in changing this command, will the cap limit count just army divisions or will it count both army divisions and navy ships? I would hate to cap the UK at 100 or 150, which would be about right on divisional manpower, only to have their navy take up all of this space leaving them with a handful of ground troops.

Also, on your German unification mod, which of the individual country event files can be safely copied over VIP files (German minors like Anhalt) and which need to be cut and pasted into the VIP event file so as to not overwrite VIP events?

Well it turns out it doesn't work. Bah.

Just get the VIP version (VIP flavour) and extract that into your victoria folder, no more copy, pasting needed!
