My knowledge of any kind of code is pretty limited, but I'm curious about hardcoding because it seems to be a big issue in the RTW modding community. Obviously the main thing about hardcoding is that it defines limits that cannot be altered. I thought this might be a good place to clarify some of the other issues:
First of all, what is hardcoding? I assume it's some kind of encryption, but I'm not sure.
Whatever it is, is it theorectically possible that one day it might be 'cracked'/broken into/altered/changed in any way to raise or remove the limits they impose? Or is that a total and utter impossibility
If it is possible, is there anyone in the RTW community who you believe has the skills necessary to do that?
If it is possible, is it legal?
If it is possible, how important a breakthrough do you think it would be?
I decided to post this here rather than at the TWC because EB, with its focus on having the most varied and huge of everything from factions to provinces to map size to troops to buildings, seems to have been pushing the limits on all these fronts and therefore would be the biggest source of information (and general anger) on this topic.
