Modding .inc files to change building costs for a specific nation?

[Nethros]

Is there a way to modify the scenario files to increase or decrease build times, costs, etc, for things like IC and units, so I can have a "piss-about" scenario?

It was a feature of the scenario editor which is not included with AoD, unfortunately.

here..

Arsenal of Democracy\db\units\divisions\

for example..

armor.txt

# 0 - Great War Tank
model = {
cost = 16
buildtime = 180
manpower = 7
maxspeed = 6
defaultorganisation = 30
morale = 30
defensiveness = 5
toughness = 7
softness = 30
suppression = 1
airdefence = 1
softattack = 8
hardattack = 2
airattack = 1
transportweight = 30
supplyconsumption = 1.75
fuelconsumption = 4
speed_cap_art = 5
speed_cap_eng = 5
speed_cap_at = 5
speed_cap_aa = 5
upgrade_time_factor = 1.0
upgrade_cost_factor = 1.0
max_supply_stock = 55
max_oil_stock = 70


just edit what you want.. save and enjoy.

You have to make events. But I would check whether the relevant event commands are still supported that allow you to alter build costs, etc.

You mean the annex-and-release workaround? Wasn't that disabled in arma 1.3.2?

All models are the same, the difference between Nations is modelled through doctrines and government. You can amend the doctrines to give positive and negative effects to IC cost, organisation by playing with

An example of the un-modded, vanilla 'blitzkreig' tech which makes light armour cheaper and with higher organisation is below, you could change this if you know what you're doing (which I don't).

    component = { id = 6261 name = TECH_CMP_LD_26_1_NAME type = combined_arms_focus difficulty = 10 }

    }
