Mod: Single Age

[Slobby]

Neat mod! I'd like to use it in sp and put the ai's on random. However, I see there are filler slots. How can I get rid of those? Keep in mind I don't know how to mod in dom3 . And I'd like to keep it vanilla... can someone help?

Thanks

Edit the SingleAge.dm in any text editor, like Notepad. Go through the file, and change the #era of the nations you don't want to appear from 1 to 0.

Great, thanks Endoperez!

Another question, some of the nations have descriptions yet others don't. Any ideas why? At first I thought it was the early/mid/late tags, but after removing them that's not the case. I then thought it was the spelling of the names, but Bogarus doesn't work, among others.

I also thought that it may be the age. However I changed all of them to 2 to balance la somewhat and some early nations still have their descriptions.

And it seems I can only put in 36ai's as opposed to the original post of 76...

Do multiple nations with the same name work (e.g. Ulm, "Forges of" and Ulm, "Black Forest")? Is that what causes descriptions to disappear? Don't know why else that would happen if the nations are complete.

The problem is the way the descriptions are hardcoded in the files. The descriptions are tied to eras instead of the nation number. If you simpluy switch two nations between different eraas like I did with Ermor in the Restoration mod, the descriptions stay in place, so e.g. in my mod Ashen Empire in MA had the description of Broken Empire and the modified Broken Empire had the Ashen Empire description. So if you move a nation out of its own era, you need to write out the full description in the mod file, as well as the summary and brief descriptions too.

Is it possible to 'write out the full description in the mod file'?

[Saulot]

Yes.

That's what #descr, #summary, and #brief do.
