Editing save files?

[Xyston]

I'm having this problem with my Egyptian cities, which I conquered as the seleucids. They already have Pharao's Palace and the culture penalty is terrible, but I can't get rid of it in the game... so I thought if there's a way to edit the save file or something. Thanks for your help.

There is an save editor, but you can only change the year, the difficulty and the season.

Ave Xyston!

It is easy. If I have grasped your problem, you dont need to change anthing in your saved game but only to edit the features for the Pharaoh Palace in export_ descr_building. txt file in your Data folder.

Are you playing some mod? In this case it is possible that there is set some huge culture penalty on this concrete building and you could rid it of easily.

On the other hand, if you are playing the vanilla and have this problem, the only one possiblity is to increase values of bonuses (law and hapinesse, and if you want also trade) and decrease population bonus (because you have maybe the city overcrowded).

Editing this script file is quite saved-games-friendly. But be careful to use the right syntax, you will find the tutorials in this subforum on editing this file. It is always more safe to have the original file archived before strat to edit anything. :wink:
