Saba farming

[The Errant]

In order to add any building to a faction in EB go to the export_descr_buildings in your EB/DATA folder. Open it with a texteditor like notepad.
Both farms and Trade Harbor should be early in the file so just scroll down until you get to the part where it reads:

}
building port_buildings
{

From this point on in the file comes all tradeport upgrades. The first port is available to all factions signified by the:

coast requires factions { all, }

Basically it means anyone can build a port as long as they have the "Coastal Clearing" preliminary built.

All portupgrades above this, is limited in the same fashion by denoting a faction within the brackets:

port requires factions { greek_cities, thrace, macedon, romans_brutii, romans_julii, romans_scipii, carthage, numidia, egypt, parthia, gauls, britons, germans, scythia, spain, seleucid, } and not hidden_resource not_here

In order to add a building to a faction all you have to do is add the name of that faction within the brackets:

port requires factions { greek_cities, thrace, macedon, romans_brutii, romans_julii, romans_scipii, carthage, numidia, egypt, parthia, gauls, britons, germans, scythia, spain, seleucid, saba, } and not hidden_resource not_here

Remember to add: comma and space after the faction name in order to get it to work. Once you've added the faction name in this manner, just save the file and exit. Restart your game and you should now be able to build tradeports as the Sabyn. Not sure if it works with savegames so might have to start your campaign from scratch.

Remember to save a copy of your export_descr_buildings file in case you made an error and can't fix the modified file.

That's it. If you're uncomfortable in modifying the textfiles just wait for the quickfix.

PS. I hope a more technically oriented board member will be polite enough to correct me if I messed up my tutorial.
