Problem With Modding

[Veliky Kaiser Theos]

Why is it that some tables can be edited fine, with the changes affecting gameplay, but with others nothing changes.

E.g. whenever I edit that unit_tables one, such as making a unit globally recruitable or reducing it's recruitment time, nothing happens.

Where are you saving your changes? Many tables like unit_tables got updated by nearly every patch, so if you let's say mess inside main.pack, your changes will be overridden.

There's a bunch of things that don't seem to work like:

• Trigger criteria - they get exported to lua and are not run from db
• Turns to surrender, diplomatic stance due to religious differences etc., skills and abilities of existing agents - all seem to be cached in esf
• Forts - totally hardcoded, workaround involves messing with battlepresets but it's not working too well
• Territorial expansion penalty - I can make it fade faster or disappear altogether but somehow I failed to make it smaller
• Characters dying - character_death_chance_turn_end doesn't do anything

But everything about units_table is fully moddable
