Under each building, it shows a level.
-=For example=-
Buildings { Admiralty { name = str_ADMIRALTY }
CompanyHouse { name = str_COMPANYHOUSE }
Fort { name = str_FORT
0 { price = 0 wood = 0 stone = 0 iron = 0 upkeep = 0 build_time = 0
// special - number of cannons defending port special = 0 }
1 { price = 50000 wood = 40 stone = 80 iron = 30 upkeep = 3500 build_time = 4 special = 5 }
2 { price = 120000 wood = 80 stone = 150 iron = 50 upkeep = 10000 build_time = 10 special = 10 }
These levels represent the current config for each building at its five levels. You will need
to change one or all levels to your choosing.
For example:
Buildings
{
Admiralty
{
name = str_ADMIRALTY
}
CompanyHouse
{
name = str_COMPANYHOUSE
}
Fort
{
name = str_FORT
0
{
price = 0
wood = 0
stone = 0
iron = 0
upkeep = 0
build_time = 0
// special - number of cannons defending port
special = 0
}
1
{
price = 1
wood = 1
stone = 1
iron = 1
upkeep = 1
build_time = 1
special = 5
}
2
{
price = 1
wood = 1
stone = 1
iron = 1
upkeep = 1
build_time = 1
special = 10
}
In this example, the "Fort" building at level 1 will cost 1 gold, 1 wood,
1 stone, 1 iron, 1 upkeep, and 1 month to build.
Modify ships:
-------------
Use a text editor to edit the "shiptypes" file in the directory:
"Program FilesParadox InteractiveEast India CompanyDataAI". This file contain the
configuration of every ship. You can edit their price, health, cannons, cargo space, etc.
This procedure may affect AI game play, because the AI may use these same configurations
to purchase and use their ships of the same kind. The following is an example for the
Galleon.
galleon
{
// name from locale
type = str_SHIP_TYPE_GALLEON
unit = uSHIP_galleon
part1 = pSH_ga01
warship = 1
speed_strategic = 0.05
speed_tactical = 0.50
maximum_speed = 8
The following indicates the health of the hull, sails, and cannons in tactical mode.
hitpoints_hull = 700
hitpoints_sails = 700
hitpoints_cannons = 18
The following indicates the crew size available.
crew_max = 120
crew_min = 20
cannoncrew_size = 3
The following indicates the price to purchase the ship, the unlocking price, and the
repair price.
price = 75000
unlockPrice = 150000
repairPrice = 10
repairHullPrice = 26
repairSailPrice = 9
repairCannonPrice = 200
ammoPrice = 20
crewPrice = 10
marinePrice = 20
The following indicates how many months it will take to build the ship.
buildTime = 7
The following indicates the cargo space for items to trade.
cargo_space = 10
cannon_range = 1100
cannons_max = 18
cannon_type = 2
solid_max = 180
grape_max = 90
chain_max = 90
fire_max = 90
visibility_range = 1000
sailing_range = 2500
shipyard_min = 3
The following indicates when the ship is available to be unlocked.
available_from = 1600
hull_low = -4.9
hull_high = 9.0
sail_low = 10.5
sail_high = 60
draft_min = -2.0
draft_max = 2.0
