How can I change building time for structures/units??

I've heard I have to modify export_descr_buildings.txt. Is this true? And what do I have to change in the textfile?


Edit: I already tried to changed every "1 requires" to "0 requires". I started a campaign, and it did indeed say that I only had to wait 0 turns. But when clicking for next turn, it doesn't complete finishing the building/units. It keeps saying I have to wait 0 turns over and over.

I'm a noob at this.

Who can help me with this?

What you say in your post that you changed is the starting experience of the unit recruited.

Thanks aradan,

modifying export_descr_units.txt worked for me

But changing building time for structures keeps failing for some kind of reason.
It keeps saying I only have to wait 0 turns. But even after clicking "next turn" for several times, it never completes building the structures.



very strange

[Aradan]

Maybe buildings can't have less than 1 for construction time...

[Jakkka123]

I'll try it right away, you might be right

[Jakkka123]

Yes, you were right. Thanks a lot Aradan.

Sorry I have one little question left, in which text-file can I find the public order and population growth of settlements?

[Aradan]

Public order and growth and determined by buildings, so that's export_descr_buildings.txt again.

[Jakkka123]

Thanks, you are great

[Jakkka123]

I couldn't find the public order & population growth of each individual settlement at the start of campaign :S

[Aradan]

They are not defined per se, the order/pop-growth you see is the sum of the effects of the buildings present in the settlement (plus some hardcoded elements). So, if you want to increase public order, you add a law bonus to X (eg core/government) building, or create a new building etc. Or you can just add a law enforcement/happiness building (dunno what buildings RM3 has, but I assume there is an equivalent of execution squares/gallows/theatres/arenas/whatever).
