Province income

[brent_james]

I've tried changing startpos.txt files for the purpose of changing incomes of certain provinces. Today I did a quick check to see how reliable it would be. I picked a few specific provinces, and upped the income a few thousand in each of them. Trust me, I didn't change anything else in the file... I didn't re-format anything. All I did was add an extra digit to a few of the income numbers (no accidental deletion of tabs).

I went into the game, and the new incomes showed up when I started the new campaign. Everything worked fine, but only for a few turns. Then of course, at the end of a turn (when it was about to finish the 'cycle&#39http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif the game CTD. I'm not sure if this had anything to do with it, but that year was the first year where someone conquered one of those high income provinces (the french retreated from il de france and the germans took it over). Did it crash because it couldn't calculate the amount of pillaged florins? Does anyone have any idea why I can't adjust income without the game crashing? (this isnt the first time its happened. Ive tried it many times in other campaigns)

BTW I'm using MTW 1.1

I used the win2K notepad, without word wrapping.

After reading your post brent_james I also increased income of some provinces (Bavaria-11300 and Bohemia-1230),then lost them to the rebels, but the game didn't crash. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/shock.gif I kept on playing, but the game still wouldn't crash. I don't think your problem is related with that the game couldn't calculate the amount of pillaged folrins, as that loot depends on the value of destroyed buildings and not the income of a province. Anybody correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah youre right about that. I tried testing that a few times last night, and found that that couldn't be the case.

I don't know why changing the income makes my game 10x more buggy. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Sometimes the game CTD for no apparent reason. It works fine for a number of turns then for no reason at all crashes to desktop - well usually it happens during an invasion or when it's shifting to the battle screen. I likewise modified the build file in MTW VI and it was working okay for a while then suddenly it died.

Best of luck to both of us,
