Mod question: armies

[Anaximander]

I am sorry that I have to waste your time with this question, since it should probably be easy for me to find out on my own, but I have spend quite some time figuring it out with no luck, so:

In what file is the size and placement of a country's armies defined?

I.E.: someone complained, that Denmark starts with too few ships - where would you go to change the size of that fleet, and maybe place it in some other harbour?

Thanks in advance.

I would like to know this too so I can fix the fleet issue with Denmark

I'll add this to the making a country guide as well....


Go into <core directory>/history/wars

create a new file called YourWar.txt

Put something similar to the file listed below - this includes the troops in each province.

name = "Hundred Years War - The Fourth Phase"

1429.1.1 = {
add_attacker = ENG
add_defender = BRI
add_defender = FRA
}

1450.4.15 = {
battle = {
name = "Formigny"
location = 168
attacker = {
# leader = # Thomas Kyriell
infantry = 4000
losses = 63 # percent
}
defender = {
# leader = # Comte de Clermont
infantry = 5000
losses = 6 # percent
}
result = loss
}
}

1453.7.17 = {
battle = {
name = "Castillon"
location = 174
attacker = {
# leader = # John Talbot
infantry = 5000
cavalry = 500
losses = 60 # percent
}
defender = {
# leader = # Jean Bureau
infantry = 10500
cavalry = 1000
losses = 1 # percent
}
result = loss
}
}

1453.7.18 = {
rem_attacker = ENG
rem_defender = BRI
rem_defender = FRA
}

It is governed by an initialization routine that occurs at setup, so it's not something you have direct control over. Once you have the full version of the game, the easiest method would be to launch a game at the desired date, then save it without unpausing. Then exit and edit the save game file. This allows you to define exactly the size and placement of every single unit in the world. Then load your edited save and play. You can't do this with the demo as the save and load features are disabled.

Thank you very much for the answer.

This was driving me crazy :wacko:
