This is actually quite hard, even though it is a good tutorial...

1. I want to change Scotland into a major city, should I swap it with England ?

2. Does anyone have a startpos with Scotland as a major city so I could copy it ?

Thanks in advance.

If it's too much work I will just take England and use it as my main city for building

Scotland is a major city (4 slots). You have just to add only one slot (Admiralty) to make it full 5 slots. You can take this extra slot from any 5 slots city.

Ok, I'll have a shot at this tonight, thank you again mate, you are a true legend.

Can you make it somewhere in between major and minor or will that crash it?

[husserlTW]

You can have 1, 3, 4 and 5 slots. For 3 lots you need grids calculations which are not included so stick with the rest.

I want to take the Admiralty from Konigsberg (5 slots) and add it to Berlin (4 slots). I am a little confused about all this because your thread has posts that say you can only edit savegames, that deleting entries region.erf will CTD, that editing the startpos is zero-sum and that adding/deleting CAI entries causes problems. There is another tutorial by Demis14 where he just adds the slot directly to the city and changes the startpos.erf and region.erf files. Is Demis14's tutorial outdated/incomplete and should I follow your tutorial instead? Also, is there something different about changing a 4 slot city into 5 slots?

[husserlTW]

Taking the slot from one city and add it to another is a zero sum startpos modification so you are clear to proceed with my tutorial. Follow the steps but for 1 slot instead of 4 and you'll be o.k.

[dopp]

Thanks for the advice. So I take it Demis14's tutorial is outdated?

[husserlTW]

His tutorial is outdated.

Hi husserlTW

I was wondering, can you make Copenhagen a 6 slot city for me, so that i can start my own game instead of loading yours?
I hope you'll help me, because i'm not so great at this modifying.

Hope to hear from you.

[husserlTW]

No but I can help you to do it. Also you can use the startpos from SoD mod which I've made. Btw it can be a 5 slot city and no 6.

Ok, how can you help me husserlTW?

I'm totally lost.
Especially the last step i don't understand.

[Jalokin]

I have tried to make the SoD mod work, but my game crashes everytime I try to launch the game.

[husserlTW]

It is because of modfoldering. Open SoD startpos with Esfeditor 1.4.3 and in [...]campaign_preopen_map_info change SoD to main in first line. Do the same for [...]campaign_env\campaign_model\campaign_setup. Now you can place the file in main folder and start a new game.

Hi everybody
I'm new here. I learnt all your tutorial. I tryed to convert a one slot city ( New Orleans Lower Louisiana ) to a 4 slot city but everytime, my game is crashing! I didn't see how could we convert a one slot city to a 4 slot city :/
I've seen Burnoutfigs MOD about Louisiana but the game is strange.(first page) The leader faction is not the true and I don't like to play a major city with a minor faction.
Anybody can do it? Is it easy? How can I do that?
Thanks and sorry for my english

[Jalokin]

It already says main in the first both places.

You have probably downloaded the old version of Erasmus. Here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?p=6622512#post6622512 is my version.
