New Settlement Help

[Krydon80]

Hey there mod gods out there,
I am currently working on a mod to make an emergent to playable. Got that to work no problems. So, my question is....how do I modify the starting settlements size and how do I add a starter army so I am not over run?

Example: I made Maryland the new starting point for my USA playable mod. It worked but I was hoping and praying for a few turns that nobody would barge in and stomp me out.

So, if someone could help me out with this, that would be wanderful!! Working to be a good modder one day for the TW series.

Regard,
Ryan

You can use the hybrid method (look my sign). How did you enabled US?

I followed your tutorial on the page you made. Quite helpful But, I used the Iroquois Territory's region ID to for the United States so the game wouldn't crash. Cause everytime I use the region ID for Pennsylvania it crashes the game. That was the only thing I had to figure out really. But I am would also like to know how to make a settlement larger and start with a starter army. Then I feel my little mod would be complete.

Are you talking asbout the faction capitol Id? If this is the case you should enter there the Id of Maryland.

Now for the rest it is not hard since you are familiar in hybrid method, but you need to go one step back. When you buy Maryland and US is fully playable, save, exit game but do not make hybrid. Open save game go in REGION maryland and in minor building slot change minor_magistrate to minor_governors_barracks. In this way you'll have better choises in units. Now start the game and load the saved game. Recruit the units you want included in your starting army. Play the turn. If nothing major has happened (e.g. be attacked), save game and exit.

Now you can make hybrid but except tresuries you have to make some more corrections. If you want to change the building you know now the drll. You can find the building names in patch.pack db/building_levels. Then go in [...]CAMPAIGN_MODEL/CAMPAIGN_CALENDAR and replace 1 (turns that have been played) with 0 in 2nd and 3rd line. Then go further in DATE and replace winter with summer.

This tutorial will help you convert Maryland to 5 slot major city. You can downgrade Pennsy in this case.
