Question about scenario.eug files

[kadvael56]

In the scenario.eug files there are all the christian counties, duchies, kingdoms listed and then there is something like
capital = { ... }
province = { ... }
With many numbers instead of ... If I put nothing instead of ... it is still working, if I remove the line completely DV crashes when I click on the scenario. So if I want to make a new scenario does it matter if I put only
capital = { }
province = { }
in these two lines?

If you do that, then at the start-up of the scenario you will not see the demesne of your ruler, who you want to play as.

What you can do is to keep the original entries, load up your scenario, don't unpause, save it immediately. Then go to the save-game file and copy the capital and province entries and then paste it into th scenario.eug file
