Changing when forts change appearance

[kbiggs]

In vanilla Civ V the fort tile improvement and the citadel both change how they look when you reach the Industrial Age. They become modernized bases with radio towers and 20th-century artillery. The problem here id that the Industrial Era represents the 19th century, and it just doesn't feel right for me to have my Civil War-era soldiers stationed in a World Wars-era fort. So say I just wanted to change the time when the fort and citadel change from the Industrial Age to the Modern Age. How would I go about doing that? Would I need to go into the .fpk files?

And would doing so interfere with multiplayer?

Try writing a mod (or using the 'My - Changes' mod as a test platform) that contains

UPDATE ArtDefine_Landmarks
  SET Era='Modern' 
  WHERE ImprovementType='ART_DEF_IMPROVEMENT_FORT' AND Era='Industrial';

And you'll have all the usual "multiplayer doesn't officially support mods' issues to deal with

That's ok, I don't actually care that much about multiplayer (just wondering since I occasionally do LAN games). I'll give this a go. Thanks!
