core building change

[Lord Condormanius]

Is it possible for me to change the core buildings for settlements? That is instead of walls being tied to upgrades, can it be another building, such as a town hall or something and have the walls just be walls? My main purpose is that I would like to be able to tear down walls or even castles of settlements that I sack.

Well, it looks like it should be possible, but there may be some sort of hardcoded thing - particularly in the area of strat models.

I dont think so, but I know you can add levels.

Edit: forget what I said
you will see that walls have this in their export_descr_buildings entry:

convert_to core_building
levels motte_and_bailey wooden_castle castle fortress citadel

My guess is that the 'core_building' has something to do with it


But I doubt it's this easy

It's possible to link the settlement level to another building; I once did this by making the Town Halls the core buildings and walls a seperate building. However the strat and battle models are unaffected eg a Large City with only wooden walls will look like a Large City on the strat and battle map (trying to seperate the walls and settlement leads to a crash).

I guess this would be the problem then.
