Comprehensive Overview of the Building System - Now with tutorial

[crzyrndm]

EDIT: I noticed the only used building table you haven't included is building_chain_to_slots... is there a reason for this?

It's a leftover from previous games. Slots are assigned at the superchain level in Rome 2. If you look through it carefully, you'll notice that while some chains do use it, many do not. It's not the only case either

Crzy, I am now wondering whether you know a way to require a given building to require an adjacent sea region? or a specific resource? Similar to the hidden resources from m2tw (the only other title I have modded). Forgive me if the answer was obvious, I am still learning the new engine and whatnot. Thanks for all your help, mate

[crzyrndm]

The only way to make it specific to something like bordering on the sea, is the same way docks are done. Assigned in the startpos or changing the slot type for those structures. While the UI is locked, it's not particularly feasible.

Required resource is in building_levels I believe.

[L337 NUB]

Ah, I feared that would prove the case. No matter, thank you for your time

Anyone know or worked out how to restrict buildings to a region/city/capital city?

I'm messing around with barracks and want to restrict main barracks to certain regions, and auxilia elsewhere.

Updated for changes to chains in last patch (nothing strenuous, just 1 declare and 1 link with no apparent functionality atm)

Does any one know how to enable construction of a building chain (like hellenic agora (which is a rom_HELLENIC_city_slot chain)) to romans?
I managed to change the correct values in building_chain_availabilities and building_culture_variants so the agora is enabled to romans but now all the other roman structures are blocked (this does not belong to your faction). Is there anything else to change?

Excellent tutorial!

Update for the table "slot_templates_to_building_superchain_junctions"

Each superchain can be tied to multiple slots. Using this, you only need one structure to cover both major and minor settlements

Is it possible to make a building require another building as a prerequisite? For instance, make it so a Level 2 Port requires the presence of a Level 2 Temple of Neptune in the same region in order to be built. I'm not seeing any way of doing this after a few hours of messing around and thought I would ask you experts.

I guess the concept of having 'tech' before next building can be unlock works the same way as in RTW's method as you mention. I don't know if it's possible that certain tech can only be researched if you have certain building though. This feature was kind of available in FOTS but not sure if brought over to Rome II.

I don't think so. You can give units a second building requirement *maybe* (ala Shogun 2. Check main_units in the assembly kit) if that's what you're after.

No - I was actually trying to control when you could build certain buildings in specific settlements. Oh well... thanks for the response!

[GREEK MILTIADIS]

I want rename building names.For example i rename Temple of Athena to House of Athena.How can i do this? Can you post a photograph to help me ?

[Regoso]

Hi again im trying to make all the rom_HELLENIC_military_buff buildings to rom_HELLENIC_military_main buildings iva the Buildings_level_tables but when i start the game it freezes and then crashs on the AI turns just wondering if there is more to it than that.

[crzyrndm]

Fairly sure each chain only allows a single primary structure, so your crash is likely the level 0 structures colliding. What are you trying to achieve here?

[Regoso]

just trying to get thos buff buildings to be buildable in minor settlements aswell

[crzyrndm]

slot_template_to_building_superchain_junctions -> add a row using the superchain Rom_MilitaryBuffMajor and the slot template rom_minor_secondary​.

It'll change the roman structures bound to that superchain as well (If you don't want that, make a new superchain and split them up)

[Regoso]

thanks i can normally figure this stuff out but i cant brain this week i have the dumb

[crzyrndm]

You can only make one per province? per faction? A little more information would be helpful.
