Change Province from one country to other

[Lusitania]

I would like to be able to make a few scenarios. But I find the process quite hard if not impossible. What is required to change the owner of a province at the begining of the game. What do I have to change and where are the files as well as what software do I need to use in order to do these changes and how do I save these changes.

Wordpad.

1492.inc

Self explanatory really

Be xure to edit the owned, controlled provinces list of both countries and trasnfer the province info over.

Don't forget to move the armies/fleets too.

That's preferable but if u don't they just get a white flag. Fleets can even stay in enemy harbours that way.

To change ownership of a province, once you have the basic requirements for editing (wordpad, 1492.inc, province.csv, etc) There are several things you should do

Find the country TAG in the .inc file under which the province belongs to currently, then remove the province ID number from controlled provinces, owned provinces, and depending on how you want the game to run, national provinces.

Next, remove the province from its the 'cities' section of that TAG

Finally, put all of these in the file of the country you wish to control the province.

Here is a small TAG listing (Brittany), which will hopefully make what I said make more sense (these are in all of the .inc files):

country = {

}

Moving and adding armies is a little more difficult, but not much.

Anyways, I hope this clears your problems up a little!
