Easy Edits to Modify Your Random Games

Post by Tac2i »

Advanced Tactics Gold
In this thread I'm going to show you how to edit your random games. You can use these techniques to make random games more interesting and fix errant roads, join islands to a larger landmass, etc.

First Step is to create your random game and then click the Edit button to open your game in the editor.

Changing Diplomatic Settings (2a select diplomatics) (corrected diplomatic values in my initial screenshot)

In the screenshot below I've allied Yokohama Territory with Germania (Note: you will have no control of your AI ally). I then allied the two AI regimes.

Thanks for the thread Webizen.
I would like to change a couple of SFT values for random A New Dawn 3 games. But it doesn't seem possible to alter any combat stats to SFTs after I make the world. Am I missing something? Any help greatly appreciated.

Almost everything is editable. I have never personally edited SFT values so can't answer your question definitively but check to be sure you have detached the masterfile. If attached that will prevent many edits I believe.

I have no idea how to detach the masterfile. Could you give me more specific instructions (or a link) on how to do that?
Thanks a LOT!

This is great info! I was wondering how I could change the color of my units (not headquarter stripe color)and although I haven't tried it yet I'm guessing this is the way to do it. Thanks again!!
