Changing starting building

[Decist]

Hello.

I just want to know how to change the starting buildings for a certain faction.

Right now, I'm thinking of doing it on Spain but I have no idea how.

I could really use some advice. Thanks.

Open data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.txt, find the entry for the spain faction and there you'll see their settlement entries, that look like this:

settlement
{
    level large_town
    region Gallaecia

    year_founded 0
    population 2500
    plan_set default_set
    faction_creator gauls
    building
    {
        type barracks muster_field
    }
    building
    {
        type core_building governors_villa
    }
    building
    {
        type defenses wooden_pallisade
    }
}

If you wanted to add, say, a 1st level farm to the settlement you'd add another entry like this:

settlement
{
    level large_town
    region Gallaecia

    year_founded 0
    population 2500
    plan_set default_set
    faction_creator gauls
    building
    {
        type barracks muster_field
    }
    building
    {
        type core_building governors_villa
    }
    building
    {
        type defenses wooden_pallisade
    }
    building
    {
        type hinterland_farms farms
    }
}

Where "hinterland_farms" is the name of the building tree (that includes all farm buildings) and "farms" is the name of its first level. You can find those in data/export_descr_buildings.txt.

I changed the starting barracks to army barracks and it turned out to be the Roman army barracks. I wanted it to be the barracks from the Barbarians.

Sorry if you found me hard to understand.

The barracks you get is determined by culture. If you just want the look to change, then you have to unpak the PAK files and swap out the UI/rome/buildings files for those of the barbarian. However, since the game references the UI files for the roman culture from the disk, you would have to repak the files.

If you are talking about the building as it appears in the city, then you have to edit the slot_variant for the barracks listing in descr_settlement_plans.txt. If this is what you want then I can show you the coding you need to edit.

Sorry but that's not what I wanted. What I want is the normal level 2 army barracks for Spain. I'm sorry if i said it wrong.

Are you using a mod or vanilla?

[Decist]

I am using the unlock all factions but its for BI alone. I can't also see the Night battle option for my general units in barbarian invasion too. I don't know, maybe because of that mod which made it not to work anymore.
