Modifying SaveGame files

[unmerged(9811)]

Hello all,

I recently started playing an EEP GC as Novgorod, with AI aggresiveness set to furious, just to see what would happen. Twenty years or so later, all of my original core provinces were in my enlightened grasp, after having to fight about 20 wars, none of which (OK, OK, maybe one) I had actually started. My rep was very bad, and the constant wars against every one of my neighbors eventually took its toll on my patience, so I decided to tweak the savegame file to improve my rep and lower the aggresiveness for a little while. It didn't work, as when I resumed my game my rep was still at very bad and the wars just wouldn't cease. Is there some little trick to modifying these files that I'm not aware of? I only modified the EUG file, would I have to do anything with the CFG file?
On a somewhat related note, does AI aggresiveness only determine its likelihood of declaring war against you, or would it also affect inter-AI wars?
If it matters any, I have EEP 1.2.4 installed over EU 1.05. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

What exactly did you do in the .eug file?

You can lower your badboy value in your country's part of the scenario file, if that helps.

As Dimwit has pointed out: To change the reputation you'll have to edit the badboy value. Is that what you did?

You can set the agressiveness in the options screen when you load the savegame too.

AFAIK agressiveness goes for all countries - not just agains the player.


And PS: Dimwit - would you mind slashing that sig. a bit?

Oh, I guess I forgot to specify. I reduced my badboy from 18 to 8 (didn't want to tweak it too much), and I lowered the AI aggressiveness from 4 to 2. I made no other changes. However, when I started the game again, my rep was still at very bad and the AI was still insanely aggressive.

Hm... 'Very bad' is from 19 to 28 while you edited from 18... Are you sure you edited the right country?
