How to Edit starting wars

[Bernhard]

Hello! im just new to this forum so tell me if i do anything wrong.

Well i was wondering if i could edit witch factions a nation is at war with by the start of a campaign.

Why?
Becouse in the year 1700 Sweden was already at war with: Denmark, Poland, Saxony and Russia.
And in ETW it takes maybe 2 or 3 turns before Russia Declares Sweden war, but Denmark and Poland
never joins that war. So i doesnt get that 3 front war playing as Sweden as it where in The Great nordic war.

So if someone know how to make Sweden be at war with: Denmark, Poland, Saxony and Russia by the start of a new campaign i would be wery pleased to know

You need for this an esf editor.

0.) Backup your startpos.esf which you can find in data\campaigns\main
1.) Start with Sweden a new campaign.
2.) Declare war to the factions.
3.) Save game.
4.) Open startpos.esf from data\campaigns\main with esf editor
5.) Open also the savegame in the esf editor
6.) Delete the whole folder campaign_model (subfolder from campaign_env) in startpos.esf and save
7.) Copy now from the savegame this folder back to your startpos.esf and save

And here is the tool: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=260597

I cant find the CAMPAIGN_WORLD folder. There is just:
-CAMPAIGN_MODEL
-CAMPAIGN_SETUP
-CAMPAIGN_SETUP_LOCAL
-CAMPAIGN_CAMERA_MANAGER

In the CAMPAIGN_ENV folder

Sorry my typo, campaign_model is the right one.
