How can I make Resource Forts available ??

[Shuazoid]

Ok, theres this line in the Data file called "descr_campaign_db.xml"

Near the bottom, you can see "allow resource_fort" or something and make it true.

This allows you to build a fort over resources and chunk in all the merchants to make good money.

Pretty idea that was bugged out.

So i typed 'true' and I could actually build a fort above resources.

BUT

If i put more than one merchant in there, the whole game crashes when I end the turn.

Any Idea how I can make it work?

I recommend just using an unit instead. Put an unit on top of the resource, then a bunch of merchants inside the army.

Yeah man, I cant agree more lol

Then tweak captain rebellion modifier by making 0.2 to 0.0. So captains don't revolt at all.

In the descr_campaign_db.xml file
change this to

<revolt>
        <end_turn_modifier float="1.0"/>
        <excommunicated_modifier float="25"/>
        <new_leader_modifier float="10"/>
        <max_effective_loyalty float="7.0"/>
        <rebel_region_modifier float="2.0"/>
        <shadow_region_modifier float="2.0"/>
        <rebel_border_modifier float="1.1"/>
        <shadow_border_modifier float="1.1"/>
        <num_units_modifier float="1.05"/>
        <captain_modifier float="0.2"/>
        <min_revolt_chance float="0.0"/>
        <max_revolt_chance float="80.0"/>
        <ai_revolt_modifier float="0.05"/>
        <revolt_additional_armies bool="false"/>
        <revolt_crusading_armies bool="false"/>
    </revolt>

this.

<revolt>
        <end_turn_modifier float="1.0"/>
        <excommunicated_modifier float="25"/>
        <new_leader_modifier float="10"/>
        <max_effective_loyalty float="7.0"/>
        <rebel_region_modifier float="2.0"/>
        <shadow_region_modifier float="2.0"/>
        <rebel_border_modifier float="1.1"/>
        <shadow_border_modifier float="1.1"/>
        <num_units_modifier float="1.05"/>
        <captain_modifier float="0.0"/>
        <min_revolt_chance float="0.0"/>
        <max_revolt_chance float="80.0"/>
        <ai_revolt_modifier float="0.05"/>
        <revolt_additional_armies bool="false"/>
        <revolt_crusading_armies bool="false"/>
    </revolt>

If you're fidling with the code anyway, you could just put in resource forts again. I'll look up the exact lines for you.
Edit: at the end of descr_campaign_db.xml (found in SS6.3\data\) you'll see this (open with notepad):

    <misc>
        <allow_resource_forts bool="false"/>
        <fort_devastation_distance uint="20"/>
        <army_devastation_distance uint="20"/>
        <fort_devastation_modifier float="1.0"/>
        <army_devastation_modifier float="1.0"/>
        <allow_enemy_forts bool="true"/>
        <siege_movement_points_modifier float="0.75"/>
        <infantry_movement_points_modifier float="1.00"/>
        <cavalry_movement_points_modifier float="1.25"/>
        <enable_hotseat_messages bool="true"/>
        <enable_unit_accent_overrides bool="true"/>
    </misc>

Change it to this:

    <misc>
        <allow_resource_forts bool="true"/>
        <fort_devastation_distance uint="20"/>
        <army_devastation_distance uint="20"/>
        <fort_devastation_modifier float="1.0"/>
        <army_devastation_modifier float="1.0"/>
        <allow_enemy_forts bool="true"/>
        <siege_movement_points_modifier float="0.75"/>
        <infantry_movement_points_modifier float="1.00"/>
        <cavalry_movement_points_modifier float="1.25"/>
        <enable_hotseat_messages bool="true"/>
        <enable_unit_accent_overrides bool="true"/>
    </misc>

Save and you're done.
