Alternate 100yr War result campaign

[unmerged(852)]

I am creating a campaign based on one minor change: Joan of Arc died, unknown and unlamented outside family circles, and the French lost the hundred years war. France is now a vassal of England, and both Brittany and Burgundy are still independant states.

Ive already finished changing and creating new units, changing province ownership, but Im unsure as to how to change relations between states. For example, how do I change from a relation of -200 to +50?

I believe there is a .csv file in yyour /db directory. Something like Diplomatrix.csv. It has a Huge, unwieldy matrix of diplomatic relations. You could change that, or you can look at an inc file (1617, 1700) which shows you how to change diplomatic relations. Each country has every other country's tag and a number for relations.

Yes, that file is DiplomaticMatrix.csv and it is unwieldy. But I actually made it work for my edits. Not fun, though.

That is a good idea, driedcow - I think that changes the current diplomatic relations, while it seems that perhaps by editing the .csv file, you are editing the steady-state relations (where they tend to drift toward if you do nothing). Not sure on that, but it seems that way ...

hi there
I tried editing the diplomatic file for my scenario but it kept on crashing

hmmm... i tried editing the diplomaticmatrix file, but I noticed there was no line for Brittany or Burgundy! I tried adding one for each by carefully going through all the numbers, and then tried to play... the game played with no crashes from 1492-1792, but it seemed to have no effect on the relations at all! I noted that I could change the relations between existing nations (eg. England and France, Spain and Austria, etc.), but not those minors.. Any ideas anyone? IGC guys maybe?

I also tried to add diplomatic relations under the 1492.inc file, but it didnt seem to have any effect either. The game loaded well and ran fine, but when I checked the diplomatic relations, same as before, all 0s... any ideas?

I made it work in th .inc file. I just opened the 1617.inc and copied the method from there. That worked.
