I did; lots of views but no replies. I just found where to change it and an very old post came up from a Yahoo! search that explained how to get around the read only problem. It won't work from a saved game so next start, I can do this (it's the same page that one uses to unlock the other kingdoms once a game is won). Now I'm hoping to find out how to change build times and training times - setting the game turn time to 0.5 (two turns per year) will cause advanced equipment way to early and tons of troops I would think. Modding has never been a thing for me - I tend to break things - we'll see how this goes. :)
