Russian Rail in AHD

[djconklin]

I noticed in trying out AHD that Russia doesn't have railroads yet--they had them before the Crimean war and made over 35% profit, even during the war they were only down to over 8%.

So, what do I edit to add the tech and add the rail to the various provinces?

1) I'd probaly cheat instead with:
addresearch(addr) [techname] - Adds research at specified name
invention(invent) [name] - Triggers specified invention

and of course cash and resources, the latter would be helpful to not cause turmoil on the imternational market.

2) but you can also go into your save file, look up the provinces you want to have railroads and edit accordingly:

2447=
{
    name="Rio de Janeiro"
    owner="BRZ"
    controller="BRZ"
    core="BRZ"
    garrison=100.000
    fort=
    {
 4.000 4.000     }
    naval_base=
    {
 5.000 5.000     }
    railroad=
    {
 5.000 5.000     }
    modifier=
    {
        modifier="local_distribution_channels"
        date="1.5.21"
    }

* taken from a save file in 3.03 or 3.04.

Neat trick! Thanks. I have a lot more that needs to be done to the game.

Tech: ...\Victoria 2\mod\<mod>\history\countries\RUS - Russia.txt and then add the tech you want with a = 1 behind it.
Provinces: ...\Victoria 2\mod\<mod>\history\provinces\soviet\<id> - <name>.txt and make sure it has a line like this: railroad = 3
