editor question

[marsodin]

i use the C3C editor and can give a unit a max cost of 1000 shields. The editor doesn't let me put a number above 1000 for the cost.
I red in the forums a player that went easily above 4000 shields. How is that posible? Or does it depend on the editor?

I have Civ3 complete and just tried the vanilla, PTW and Conquests editors. All are limited to 3 digits in the cost box, which means 1000 or greater cant be selected. Maybe one of the editors that modders here have made can go higher. I have not yet tried any of these. I know Steph made an editor and has his own thread and that there is another editor for Mac computers that has its own thread.

Thank you scratchthepitch. I guess I will just keep it like that, coz i am not very sure to "hack" the editor.

I'm pretty sure 999 or 1000 shields is max for units. Buildings can go over 1000 shields (since the amount in editor is multiplied by 10), but I don't believe it's possible for units.

Quintillus' editor has ability to alter values to what is not possible in normal editor. Of course, this is to find what may be possible to do (that is not possible in Firaxis editor) and may or may not work in game.
