This will take you through several different things to do with the Living World. None of this is really necessary, but just some things to customize your mod or just some personal customizations, if you wish to make them.

the list of files we will be editing in this tutorial are-

livingworldbuildings.ini
livingworldbuildableunits.inc
livingworldregions.inc

So, lets begin with livingworldbuildings.ini. This is located in the main INI directory. In this, you can edit several things, like the amount of resources you get from a farm, the amount of turns it takes to build a building, what heroes can be built in what fortresses, and more.

Lets say you wanted the amount of resources from a farm to be increased. Just locate these lines of code-
              

Code

;--------------- Farm ---------------- LivingWorldBuilding LWB_GondorFarm     AvailableTo = PlayerMen          BattleThingTemplate = GondorFarm     BuildingIcon = LWBIcon_GondorFarm     TurnsToBuild = 1     StrategicResourceCost = WOTR_FARM_COST          ConstructButtonImage = BCFarm     ConstructButtonTitle = CONTROLBAR:LW_Structure_GondorFarm     ConstructButtonHelp = CONTROLBAR:LW_ToolTipBuild_GondorFarm     DisplayNameTag = CONTROLBAR:LW_Structure_GondorFarm     DisplayDescriptionTag = CONTROLBAR:LW_ToolTip_GondorFarm     Type = Resource                    ; Where to put this building in the end-of-game score/stats screen     BuildingNugget IncreaseCommandPoints    NuggetTag_WorldCP         Type = WORLD         Amount = +30     End          BuildingNugget IncreaseTreasury NuggetTag_GiveLoot         TreasureAmount = 100     END

this is the code for the MEN Farm. If you want to edit a different farm for a faction, just locate the same basic code. So, you want to increase the amount of resources from a farm? Lets say you want to change it to 300, right now it is 100. This code determines the amount of resources from 1 farm-
              

Code

BuildingNugget IncreaseTreasury NuggetTag_GiveLoot         TreasureAmount = 100     END

just change the TreasureAmount to 300.

-----------

Now, what if you want to add a hero from another faction to a different faction? Lets just use Legolas as an example. Just find this code in the elven fortress in livingworld-
              

Code

ArmyToSpawn             PlayerArmy = LegolasArmy             Icon = ElfArmyIcon             IconSize = Small             PalantirMovie = Palantir_150             BuildTime = 1 ; 3             ConstructButtonImage = HILegolas_wotr             ConstructButtonTitle = CONTROLBAR:LW_Hero_Legolas             ConstructButtonHelp = CONTROLBAR:LW_ToolTipBuild_Legolas         End

just take that same code, and put it in the fortress of which you want legolas to be on. So if you want him to be on MOTW, put that code in the MOTW living world fortress where the other hero codes are.

Now, when you add a hero such as Eomer, or Aragorn to elves (if you do) you will notice that when they come out of the fortress they are army leaders, like they would be in Motw. To fix this, if you wish to do so, is very simple.

              

Code

ArmyToSpawn             PlayerArmy = EomerArmy             HeroTemplateName = RohanEomer; remove this line             Icon = HeroEomerIcon; change 'HeroEomerIcon' to 'ElfArmyIcon', if in fact, you are adding eomer to the elves. if not, just simply use 'DwarfArmyIcon' or otherwise             IconSize = Small             PalantirMovie = Palantir_150             BuildTime = 1 ; 2             ConstructButtonImage = HIEomer_wotr             ConstructButtonTitle = CONTROLBAR:LW_Hero_Eomer             ConstructButtonHelp = CONTROLBAR:LW_ToolTipBuild_Eomer         End

----------

So, do you want to decrease the amount of turns taken to build a building? Lets use a fortress as an example. Any fortress takes 2 turns in WOTR to build. To decrease it to one turn just change this line-
              

Code

BuildingIcon = LWBIcon_ElvenFortress     TurnsToBuild = 2 ; 2     StrategicResourceCost = 1000 In the TurnsToBuild line, just change the one closest to '=' to 1. anything to the right of a semicolen is usually ignored in the INI. ---------- So, now to try out the build costs. For any living world building just find this line in the code- [code]     StrategicResourceCost = 1000

just change that to whatever you want it to be.

Ok, so now move onto the next page and you can learn about the livingworldbuildableunits.inc
