As they said: Working on it. SpawnGroups will be a largescale rewrite of the Orcish barbarians, it takes time.
I meant that they can be modified via a module, which allows you to keep your changes/additions separate from the core files of the mod... Makes it easy to add/remove them if you wish.
Correct, Building, Civic, Unit, and Religions.
Adding something new via a module is very easy.
Adding something new to existing entries (existing civics, for example) is just as easy. Check the BuildXP module; It effects every single build order in the game, but is extremely small.
Changing something in existing entries works literally the same exact way.
However, removing something is a bit different; have to set the bForceOverwrite tag and then list the entire entry. That said, still simple. And what you intend just means adding tags to existing entries, so it's a very basic module.
On the alignment tags: Ethics = Law/Chaos. Tags for both alignment axes are the same, the Law/Chaos axis just has Ethical at the front.
For the exact tags:
- iEthicalAlignmentModifier / iAlignmentModifier
- Instant, one time effects. These are the 'old' style tags.
- iEthicalAlignmentShiftModifier / iAlignmentShiftModifier
- This is for the perturn effects. It determines the exact amount that it effects your alignment each turn (ex: Set to 5, it increments your alignment by 5 each turn)
- iEthicalAlignmentShift / iAlignmentShift
- This is also for the perturn effects. It determines the cap that this specific item can affect alignment to. (ex: Set to 250, the civic can only modify alignment each turn until it is 250 or greater, at which point the building 'deactivates'.
