Extending existing building chains (downwards)

[Jappie87]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a way to extend an extending building chain downwards. For example, the dragon building for the High Elves starts at tier 4 in vanilla but what if I wanted it to start at 3? I've tried to reverse engineer this from mods creating entirely new chains and from a mod extending settlement tiers upwards. But, alas, after a whole day of working all I achieved was my game crashing. I used the assembly kit and initially struggled because it wouldnt let me copy the new level from buildings.level but I got that to work. Which tables do I need to fill before I can get this to work?

Thanks in advace.

If you want to make a new building, you'll need to make a new entry to building_levels, add it to building_upgrade_junctions and building_variants, adjust the entry in cai_construction_system_building_values, and you may need to add some entries to building_effects_junction (if you want any additional effects other than units).

If you are just wanting to move it from a Tier 4 to a Tier 3, then you should only need to adjust building_levels and cai_construction_system_building_values.
