Levels are displayed under each of the buildings. For instance:
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 amount of resources required to construct a building for each of the five levels. Change one (or all, if necessary) of them. For instance:
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
}
That is, now the “Fort” building of the 1st level costs 1 gold, 1 forest, 1 stone, 1 iron, 1 gold for maintenance, and it takes 1 month to build..
Modification of ships:
Using a text editor, modify the “shiptypes” file in the “\ East India Company \ Data \ AI” directory. This file contains the configuration of all ships: price, amount of HP, number of guns, volume of hold, etc. Changing this file will change the gameplay as the AI uses the same settings to buy and use their ships.
For instance:
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 lines contain information about the number of HP, sails and guns in tactical mode.
hitpoints_hull = 700
hitpoints_sails = 700
hitpoints_cannons = 18
The following lines contain information about the crew (max, min, cannon service).
crew_max = 120
crew_min = 20
cannoncrew_size = 3
The next lines contain information about the price (purchase, unlock, repair, etc.).
price = 75000
unlockPrice = 150000
repairPrice = 10
repairHullPrice = 26
repairSailPrice = 9
repairCannonPrice = 200
