Changing amount of Kings purse, not working

[Keunus]

I found that Stainless steel gives you too much money. I am 15 turns in and my treasure is on 30K.

I noticed that you get alot of income from your Kings purse. (Around 2600 for Kiev)

Here is the problem,
I changed the amount of the faction's Kings_purse I'm playing in descr_strat.txt in the mod folder. Gave no errors.
Started a new campaign but the kings purse stayed 2600.

What am I doing wrong?

[Banquo]

this may be a stupid question but did you save the file when you edited it? thats the only thing i can think of

[Keunus]

Haha, yes I did. Will mess around with it a bit more, must be doing something wrong

Did you save it as read only?

[Keunus]

I did try it by putting it on read only. Still not working.

I did some more research, and found alot of descr_strat.txt files. Just to be sure, I am playing an early game, on SS 6.3.

I found descr_strat:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\campaign\early

But also here (for example):
C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\campaign\sub\BGR4_early

I did try both, still not working. On vanilla medieval 2 it worked great
