Upgrading to Citadel

**Cathal** · January 27, 2007, 10:11 PM

Hey all,

I downloaded this Mod but for some reason I can't upgrade to a Large City from a minor one or to a Citadel from a Fortress. I have populations of 28,000 and up but I'm stuck as a minor city and Fortress. The only thing that I did after installing the mod was installing a shield fix. Any suggestions?

well check the settlement mechanics folder in the LTC data and open it with notepad.
Scroll down and you'll see the requirements for the citadel and huge city, check if fortress and minor city don't have a upgrade value on them. But there is no reason for them not to be on place unless you've done something to them, which you haven't.
A weird problem. Is there a "pop.required for the next lvl"- when u look at the population in a city?

This is what is listed in my settlement mechanics text:

<level name="large_city" base="30000" upgrade="60000" min="3000" max="95000"/>
<level name="huge_city" base="60000" min="6000" max="125000"/>

<level name="fortress" base="12500" upgrade="30000" min="2000" max="40000"/>
<level name="citadel" base="30000" upgrade="40000" min="3000" max="50000"/>

Should I modify one of them, perhaps base, to lower the population requirements, if that is it at all?

I don't really see anything in the export_desc_buildings.txt.

Edit: Well, I tried lowering the base number as well as adding population to my fortress to make it over 60,000 and I still can't upgrade. In the Vanilla I would have been able to upgrade by now but I can't see anything stopping me; not even in the export_desc_buildings.txt.

What version of LTC are you playing? Those were the upgrade values for 1.1 i think, in 2.1 you need 18000 population for a Citadel.

Doh, I guess I have to upgrade then. If I upgrade, do I have to restart the campaign?

**Lusted** · January 28, 2007, 09:49 AM

Yes you will need to if you dont want to have any wierd issues with your existing campaign.

Cool, I just downloaded and installed it and just started up my saved campaign just to see if it would upgrade and, ta-da, I can. Thanks for your help.

Lusted, back in the old times of 1.0 and 1.1, what was the idea of 60 000 pop. required for huge city. It was never possible to get. Stucked at 40 000.
