What is the point of adding resources into descr_regions?

[Miraj]

I've noticed that once you add resources via descr_strat and it appears on the camp map the settlements start trading and generating income using the resource. So I must ask: what the point of adding those same resources into descr_regions?

And a follow up question: how many resources/hidden-resources are allowed for every region in descr_region? Is there a limit? I know there is a total limit on how many HRs you can have altogether but it their a per-region type limit?

Could a moderater please move this to mapping. My mistake.

And does anyone have an answer to this?

The point is probably that otherwise I think you can't check them in building requirements. Just a shot in the dark though.

Thanks Alpaca. Thats what I had assumed too... but it seems to be not the case. When add gold to a region on the map via descr_strat but not in descr_regions you can still build things like mines.

And do you know how many resources each region can have?

Nope, sorry. Did you try giving the requirement to another building (mines might not be reliable testing material due to their hardcodedness)

Oh i see what you mean. I will test that soon enough. Thanks Alpaca!

Actually guys this line is the descr_regions file is an FYI only, it has no effect on the game at all. You only need to add resources to the DS file. This is tried and tested since RTW days.

Really, I guess I learned something today. I've been mapping stuff since RTW but since it was for personal amusement I never bothered with resources. Thanks for the info!

Moved to Mapping.

Does anyone knows what is the maximum number of resources that there can be on a map? Also, where can I find a complete list of resources for the Vanilla map?

thanks

I don't really think that there is a max number of resources in total. Though if there is it must be a high number.

You can go into "descr_strat" in your campaign folder and it has all the resources and its coordinated listing up near the begining of the file.

There's also a list in descr_sm_factions.txt

[Miraj]

Did you mean descr_sm_resources?

Yeah sorry I've been a bit tired lately
