hidden resources & upgrading settlements

I am trying to make my game so that only certain settlements can reach certain levels, ie cities like Jerusalem and London can reach huge city status but cities like Dublin or Dijon can only reach city status. Same with castles.

I added into the hidden resources line at the top of the export_descr_buildings.txt, city, lcity, hcity, castle, lcastle, and hcastle.

I then went into the descr_regions.text file in the data/worlds/base folder and added those to the resources lines of the settlements I want them in. I was sure to make it so that say, London, which I want to be able to reach huge city level, had city, lcity, and hcity, all in, so that things ought to progress properly

I then went back into the export_descr_buildings.txt and added "and hidden_resource city" or what have you to the corresponding lines, ie "stone_wall city requires factions { ... }" so I'd have "stone_wall city requires factions { ... } and hidden_resource city".

This is exactly what I did in RTW and was able to get the desired effect, but in MTW, I get a message when a city is ready to upgrade, but can't upgrade it. Anyone know where I went wrong or is there something I missed?

that's exactly how it used to work in rtw--you did delete your map.rwn? only reason i can think of why it didn't work

that is exactly why. i just figured that out playing around with it last night. thanks anyways though, problem solved. =D
