Change the Value

**Kesl** · March 23, 2009, 03:09 PM

In the game Greece is worth a lot of money if you conquer it. I was wondering is it possible to change the value of each settlement or faction.

Oh, gosh, that's such a big topic. I guess the easiest thing to do would be to lower the regions' base farming levels in descr_regions.txt, but it also has to do with ports, trade, mines, higher than average population levels (and thus more tax income), etc.

How many level are there?
Is there a tutorial for this modding?

Changing the base farm level is very easy : Just open descr_regions .. Here you'll see all entries for all regions .. Just go to the greek ones , and on the last line of each region , you'll see a number .. lower it to give them less income

What is the highest number I can have?

**Killerbee** · March 26, 2009, 09:57 AM

Dunno .. Have a look at what you see is the highest in descr_regions . that'll probably be it

I think highest is 10 ?

The biggest number I have found is 14. Has anyone put 20 or more?

You could try it out

Be sure to have the -show_err command before you do it , though

Thanks for answering my question.

I need some help to understand this file (descr_regions)

What does these numbers (in Red and in bold) mean?

What does these number (in Blue and in bold) mean?

Why does the macedon in under Rome?

Latium
Rome
macedon
Latins
52 13 198
slaves, dogs, pigs, rome, italy
5
8

First of all , take a look at this :

http://rtw.heavengames.com/rtw/mods/...ns/index.shtml

If you scroll a bit down , you should see all the info you need :

The blue bold ones (52 13 198) is the RGB-value of the region in map_regions.tga .. You don't need to change this .. The bold red one , is the triumph value level - As far is i know , this doesn't do anything .. The bold blue one is the thing that you need to change ~ this is the base farm level .. the higher it is , the more income you'll get

So if you want Greece to give less income , lower this in all provinces of Greece/Macedon ..

macedon below 'Rome' is the rebel type that appears in here .. you don't have to change this ..

Thanks for the help

I try it with the number 20 and it works.

**Subrosa Florens** · April 03, 2009, 05:03 PM

You are going to find that the city grows to insanely huge sizes with a base farming level of 20.

**EmperorDude** · April 17, 2009, 07:22 PM

I have a question as well. Can anyone tell me how I can edit the amount of money that cities will make from trading? I want to make Carthage the richest trade city in the game world, like it should have been in the first place.

**Aradan** · April 17, 2009, 07:39 PM

The money a settlement makes from trade depend on the resources it has, what other settlements it trades with, etc.

You can either increase the value/quantity of goods that region has or, if you want to make things more specific, you can create a hidden resource, add it to the region and give the government buildings a trade-bonus effect that will require that hidden resource.
