Testing the money stuff changes

[Gigantus]

I have been tweaking and fiddling with the money issues (not enough trade, AI stack spams) a bit and if someone would like to give it a go then you can download the files here (updated, see post #3). It's not save game compatible so you will have to start a new campaign.

- descr_campaign_script goes into the ...\Three_Kingdoms\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder
- descr_settlement_mechanics goes into the ...\Medieval II Total War\mods\Three_Kingdoms\data folder

I have done the following:

- increased farm income
- increased trade income
- reduced tax income
- added a money control script for the AI which increases\decreases the king's purse according to the AIs income.

Comments and suggestions are more then welcome.updated the download

Game crashes when starting a new campaign

Ooops.

Only the script can cause a crash and it's working in my version. Can you provide a trace log please?


Edit: silly me, I uploaded the latest, reworked script with Germanicu5's AI script - no wonder it crashed. I updated the download by using the campaign script from the Quick Fixes and added the money control script part to it.

AI finances are looking much better. There were a couple factions that went up to around 200,000 but they came down pretty quickly and all the factions have been 20,000 and less since. I do think trade needs to be looked at. I replied about the principle of diminishing returns here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...le-trade-value. Also, there was a time when I went to upgrade one of the temples (it had +1 to farm productivity) and it showed a decrease in farm income if I did the upgrade. I'm not sure if it was just that one upgrade or if it would be any temple with a +1 to it. I had already built the farms up to a point where they were giving +3, so maybe it was overriding the +3 with the +1? I think it was in the wooden temple line.
