Making changes to the campaign_script

[Christop]

Looking at the script it looks pretty straight forward if you make a change in this file say for example: ;----------------------------- VII Upkeep Fieldcost: Generals, Spies, Assassins -----------
;###############################troops##############################################
monitor_event CharacterTurnEnd FactionIsLocal
and not EndedInSettlement
and not IsBesieging
and not AgentType = admiral
and not AgentType = spy
and not AgentType = diplomat
and not AgentType = assassin
and not AgentType = priest
and not AgentType = princess
and not AgentType = merchant
and InEnemyLands
console_command add_money -500<--- if you adjusted the cost I assume that would take effect in the game , Also would like to know if anyone else have made changes and what kind of alterations they have made .

Thank you

I increased merchant income and also gave a money bonus for markets etc. Despite these increases it can still be tricky making ends meet if you have the field cost script on. On the other hand it makes the AI super rich and within a few turns of going to war with a faction they have full strength garrisons just about everywhere. Makes for a tricky campaign!!

I was thinking of toning things down as the uber strong AI is now a little unrealistic and also because of their strength it is hard to get a ceasefire. Still it's fun playing around and seeign the effect different changes have.

i have one problem with the command - 'console_command add_money -500' and that is that it does not adjust your treasury\finance scroll accordingly, and therefore you cant use the finance scroll to judge income. i am working on a script that will do the same thing but make the changes in your finance scroll.

In my game I reduced these values by half, while increasing castle income values in descr_settlement_mechanics. Just couldnt play as it was for I permanently collapsed into debt in early game as Castille. And it also allows to field bigger armies for bigger battles.

I think its very good method for tuning income to one`s liking. But it`s still early game, long term consequences are unknown...

Yes it is I keep making adjustments.

[In my game I reduced these values by half]

Had same idea reduced the values in half i.e. besieging cost 1000 now instead of 2000 spy in enemy lands 250 instead of 500 etc. The cost is not much of a problem late game but early on it really hurts me especially if I am playing a smaller starting faction.
