Looking to create a AACW mod, couple of questions

[jam3]

Ok I am wanting to do some serious modding for AACW. I've got the database and have started looking through everything and would like to get a few questions answered before i jump in and start modding.

1) Is it possible to mod in the ability to form brigades from single elements (just like militia), I figure if militia can do it ishould be able to mod it in. Also is it possible to increase the number from 2 to 6. And although I think this is not possible, but would be great if it is, is it possible to mod in the ability to break down a brigade into single regiments.

2) I want to get rid of the militia upgrade to infantry (conscripts) and pretty sure looking at the file I can do this removing the upgrade. I also want to change the training officer ability to give units 1 experience star instead of making conscripts reg infantry (basically im getting rid of infantry (conscript) ). Just wondering if this is possible cant really figure how you make abilities have a different impact from looking at that table. Also what is the exact impact of the xp stars on the model stats.

2a) Once i overhaul the units the only upgrading I want to do is upgrade early war units to mid war to late war, basically. This will all be fired based on date so I assume i need to use the tech upgrade attribute in the model file, are there any examples on how to do this?


3) Im going to overhaul all of the units to be more accurate, im almost thinking of just redoing the model and units table, is this something i should even attempt? I am thinking the mod will have a single grand april 61 campaign scn but am wondering if approaching from building a new table is the right one or not.

1) You can do this on the units DB.

2)There's also upgrade events in the Various Events DB .
Dont know about modding experience.

2a Various events has a section for upgrading from 1 type to another you can set dates and probabilities.

3) Not sure but once you start modding you keep finding things to change its a great feeling when you manage to make a new scenario.

Good luck.
