Is there a bulding mod which increases happiness and/or public order?

ROME - Total War:

OK I tried a search and can't find anything; and the search in this forum I find frustrating. We all know the age-old problem which many of us hate. Public order far from our Capital City. I already know all the tips and tricks; it's just not enough.

OK so I tried modding the happiness/PO effects of buildings in export_descr_buildings.txt (I believe) and my game wouldn't start. Good thing I made a backup, so everything is fine but back to normal.

Has anyone made a mod/patch that increases the benefits of buildings to overcome the ridiculous (80%) distance penalty? I mean; I have Low taxes, Monthy Games, good governers (with moderate to high admin ability and other positive attributes) a Pantheon, Ludus Magna, city plumbing, a full garrison of legionaries and archers, Curia, Colosseum, and even in some cases hippodrome of some sort. That's all the positive buildings in the game! There are no enemy spies in my city and I still can barely maintain control. THIS IS *********!

Anyone have a mod then? Please help, many thanks!

You'll need a governor with influence, not admin to increase public order. Admin only gets more money.

Have you tried playing with that Rome tool revisited modding tool? looks good maybe it has what you are looking for.

BTW, which cities are you having problems with? Some cities have permanent unrest.

You can mod the EDB. Just add law or happiness bonus to walls, government palaces and academies. Here is the code for academies:

 
building academic
{
    levels academy scriptorium ludus_magnus 
    {
        academy requires factions { carthaginian, eastern, parthia, egyptian, greek, roman, }  and building_present_min_level market market
        {
            capability
            {
                happiness_bonus bonus 2
            }
            construction  3 
            cost  1600 
            settlement_min city
            upgrades
            {
                scriptorium
            }
        }
        scriptorium requires factions { carthaginian, eastern, parthia, egyptian, greek, roman, }  and building_present_min_level market forum
        {
            capability
            {
                happiness_bonus bonus 4
            }
            construction  5 
            cost  3200 
            settlement_min large_city
            upgrades
            {
                ludus_magnus
            }
        }
        ludus_magnus requires factions { carthaginian, eastern, parthia, egyptian, greek, roman, }  and building_present_min_level market great_forum
        {
            capability
            {
                happiness_bonus bonus 6
            }
            construction  6 
            cost  6400 
            settlement_min huge_city
            upgrades
            {
            }
        }
    }
    plugins 
    {
    }
}

Remember that each point of happiness or law is equal to 5%

OK well the thing is that I was mistaken. I've had guys with 7-10 influence doesn't seem to be helping. Tingi (West Africa) is having major problems, as well as Corduba (southern Iberia/Spain).

As for the code; When I modded it before the game wouldn't run. All I did was change the numbers for the temples I didn't even edit the script.

For the changes to take affect, I believe you need to delete the map.rwm.
It's located in C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\base
-or if its in a provincial campaign it would be Data\world\maps\campaign\mymod.
The file is recreated if its missing.

Hope this helped, Vegas_Bear.
