Nisa mine fix

This is a quick and easy fix (the hardest part was actually figuring out the map coordinates) for the issue with the mines in the Dahyu Daha province - the mine building is there from the start, it just doesn't produce anything. This sorta crimps the Pahlavas' style in the early game, but fear ye not - help is here.

Anyway, do the following:
1) delete "map.rwm" from the "\EB\Data\world\maps\base" folder.

2) backup "\EB\Data\world\maps\base\DESCR_REGIONS.TXT" and "\EB\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt".

3) open "DESCR_REGIONS.TXT" and search for the Dahyu_Daha entry - it should look like this:

Code:

---

Dahyu_Daha
      Nisa
      parthia
      Parni
      192 137 84
      hides, textiles, camels, nomad, pahlavahome, EA, A, n1, y2, n4, y8
      5
      1

---

...and add "gold," to the list of resources, so it looks something like this:

Code:

---

Dahyu_Daha
      Nisa
      parthia
      Parni
      192 137 84
      gold, hides, textiles, camels, nomad, pahlavahome, EA, A, n1, y2, n4, y8
      5
      1

---

Save the file, we're done here.

4) open "descr_strat.txt" and search for the word "gold" - you should now be at a long list, part of which looks like this:

Code:

---

resource  incense,  199,  93
resource  incense,  180,  75
resource  gold,  20,  140
resource  gold,  140,  120

---

Now add to the list the line "resource gold, 283, 158", so you get something like this:

Code:

---

resource  incense,  199,  93
resource  incense,  180,  75
resource  gold,  20,  140
resource  gold,    283,  158
resource  gold,  140,  120

---

Save the file.

The next time you start a new campaign, there should be a pretty little mine churning out money at the tip of that mountain ridge to the west of the settlement of Nisa, and the Pahlava are a that much happier bunch of bowlegged nomadic conquerors with silly moustaches. :2thumbsup:

Alas, like AFAIK all modifications to the "\world\maps\" folders, this doesn't do a thing to ongoing campaigns. Can't have everything. :sweatdrop:

So if I edit these entries will I be able to continue my ongoing campaign?
I understood that the changes only take effect when starting a new one but does it break anything in ongoing campaigns?

In my experience there should be no problems - existing savegames will be entirely unaffected by the alterations. I suspect a campaign's "world data" is stored in the save file, and is thus rather immune to the changes made to the \maps folder files.

Thank You Watchman. You are a Saint:saint:

"St. Watchman, patron of pedantic geeks" ?
:shifty:
...I think I'll pass. :sweatdrop:

...ouch. XD

If you are using BI.exe, don't forget your descr_strat.txt is in the barbarian_invasion folder, not the imperial_campaign folder.

:laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:. I was thanking you because I had officially stopped playing the pahlava. I never could get their economy off the ground.

Thanks, Watchman.

Cheers, Watchman.
