How do I work the hidden_resource EDB system?

I would like to add some new units to EB now that I have Alexander. Unfortunately however, I do not know how to work the EDB hidden_resource AOR system. Is there a list somewhere that outlines what each hidden_resource means and perhaps an explanation on how to make a unit only recruitable in the regions of one's choosing (I assume this is done via the hidden_resources).

Re: How do I work the hidden_resource EDB system?

I think it was described already on this forum. I remember that I posted list of provinces and proper hidden resources twice already.
I would recommend search.

I am a nice guys so here we go again:

Re: How do I work the hidden_resource EDB system?

you AREindeed a nice guy LorDBulA :beam:

if you have more questions I can help you btw TW :P

Re: How do I work the hidden_resource EDB system?

Thanks much. I should have used the search function but I sort of gave up on that a while back. I can never find what I want.

I will use it to make sense of that nonsensical code.

Re: How do I work the hidden_resource EDB system?

After much searching I am back where I have started. Nothing I found explained how to find the proper combination of hidden_resources to make a unit recruitable in the provinces of my choice.

However by logical deduction I came up with a theory on how I can accomplish this. Take Gawjam~Kimbrioz and Gawjam~Skandzawarjoz for instance, let us say that I wish to make a unit recruitable in those two settlements but nowhere else. I find the provinces in descr_regions and then find the relevent resources for the two provinces:

NW, C, y1, n2, y4, y8

and

NW, D, y1, n2, n4, n8,

respectively. Now I don't have a clue what this means, but when I take the two resources that the two have in common (y1 and n2) and give them both to my new unit as hidden_resources, then my unit will be recruitable only in those two provinces.

It sounds worse than it did five minutes ago when I thought it up. There are probably other provinces with the same two resources come to think of it. Would someone mind explaining to me how this system works?

Re: How do I work the hidden_resource EDB system?

This is what you would need to do in order to do what you want in your example there. I'm using the Agema Hellenikon in my example, because the Agema Hellenikon are fucking epic.

recruit "eastern infantry agema hellenikon" 0 requires factions { pontus, } and hidden_resource NW and hidden_resource C and hidden_resource y1 and hidden_resource n2 and hidden_resource y4 and hidden_resource y8

recruit "eastern infantry agema hellenikon" 0 requires factions { pontus, } and hidden_resource NW and hidden_resource D and hidden_resource y1 and hidden_resource n2 and hidden_resource n4 and hidden_resource n8

Insert those lines into the corrrect barrack entry*or entries* for a faction in the EDB and now the Saka could recruit Agema Hellenikon in Gawjam~Kimbrioz and Gawjam~Skandzawarjoz.

Re: How do I work the hidden_resource EDB system?

Thank you kind sir,

though I would very much appreciate if you could tell me how you found the proper combination of strange number-letter figures to reach "hidden_resource NW and hidden_resource C and hidden_resource y1 and hidden_resource n2 and hidden_resource y4 and hidden_resource y8" and "hidden_resource NW and hidden_resource D and hidden_resource y1 and hidden_resource n2 and hidden_resource n4 and hidden_resource n8."

This is why I posted this table in my last post.

You find province in the list (copy it to excel or other such software so its aligned properly ) and copy all columns from DIV to Red (without Red and Reg column ).
This is unique set of hidden resources that defines province.

For example Augila:

Code:

SW A y1 n2 y4 y8

Then you have to only transform it to RTW code:

Code:

recruit "celtic general neitos" 0 requires {} and hidden_resource SW and hidden_resource A and hidden_resource y1 and hidden_resource n2 and hidden_resource y4 and hidden_resource y8

If units should be recruitable in 3 provinces it will have 3 separate lines in EDB.

Re: How do I work the hidden_resource EDB system?

That explains it...except for one tiny problem. The code for Augila from DIV to Red is

Code:

SW A 13 y1 n2 y4 y8 47 121

...without the reg and red columns:

Code:

SW A 13 n2 y4 y8 47

This is quite different from the code you showed me. Also, why copy the code from DIV to Red if you are just going to delete Red anyways, why not just copy from DIV to 8?

No Reg is 6th column. Check again.

Also, why copy the code from DIV to Red if you are just going to delete Red anyways, why not just copy from DIV to 8?

Saying copy from DIV to Red excluding Red and saying Copy from DIV to 8 including 8 is the same.
I really don't see what is the problem.

Just to make everything clear, combination of this columns uniquely identifies region:
Div,Sect,1,2,4,8

Re: How do I work the hidden_resource EDB system?

Ah my bad, I got confused because the chart wasn't formatted properly. I saw that y1 was directly in line with Reg and thought that the two corresponded.

Thank you for taking your time to help me out.

Re: How do I work the hidden_resource EDB system?

y1 n2 n4 n8 is a binary number and also needs the region in question to uniquely identify a province.

NW region, province number 0001b (= 1d) in this instance, where b means binary number and d means decimal number.
n1 y2 n4 y8 means 1010b = 10d.

y1 n2 n4 n8 => YES, there is a 1; NO, there is no 2; NO, there is no 4; NO, there is no 8. In other words, only 1 and therefore 1.

n1 y2 n4 y8 => NO, there is no 1; YES, there is a 2; NO, there is no 4; YES, there is a 8. In other words, 2 and 8, and therefore 10.
