Change starting placements of units "descr_strat"

[Christianus]

Hi!
I want to switch places of armies on the map from the beginning. I feel like it takes unessesary much time to guess where it is from the "descr_strat", but I can manage. But then I thought I could use the Recruitment viewer to find the places on the map a lot faster.

Example:
; City: Rome
; Region: Latium
; --------------------
character Manivs Romanvs, named character, leader, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 65, , x 95, y 127

For example If I want to place a Carthaginian army (let say at x 94, y 127)next to Roma from the start. Is it possible to find the location of "x 94, y 127" In the recruitment viewer?

I am fairly certain such things are not possible without editing and re-compiling the source code. (Which you can't do, since you don't have the source code.)

IIRC there is a campaign map editor out there, though: if that tool already has the built in functionality to show map coordinates if you click on some spot; or vice versa (i.e. it can plot the coordinate on the map if you give it coordinate input) - it's enough methinks.

(Alternatively you could write your own tool. In Java it would be fairly simple and straightforward; not to mention you could easily build in lots of additional functionality with only minor modifications too.)

EDIT: Note that the RV is not my field of expertise: i.e. I can do the trivial thing of querying it for unit recruitment maps, and province rosters, and government maps but that's about it.

Your pictures don't show....

You can use the console: "show_cursorstat" shows the coordiantes of your cursor on the map.

konny: It works! Now it will be very easy to place new units in the descr_stat. Thank you all for your help!
