Generating GA Points

[Deadstarre]

GA are hard to make. my first thought was to lower the GA threshhold points needed, can't do it without affecting other GPs

my 2nd thought was to make naval units get more XP from combat, can't do it (only define ranged or melee not boat vs land)

my third thought was to add GA points onto some buildings the same way artist guilds generate artist points, and I don't think i can do this either

last thought was to put GA points onto CS quests, but it probably can't check if i have a coastal city or not and so otherwise the quest reward would be wasted


any other ideas that utilize existing code to get GAs more into the game?

You can add GA points to tiles and buildings, yep. Not all tables take the yield, but most do. Instant yields also take them.

Edit: also possible to give a promotion to units that generates them, IIRC.

lmao you got me excited enough to try

Spoiler :

UPDATE Buildings
SET SpecialistType = 'SPECIALIST_ADMIRAL'
WHERE Type = 'BUILDING_GREAT_LIGHTHOUSE';

UPDATE Buildings
SET GreatPeopleRateChange = '2'
WHERE Type = 'BUILDING_GREAT_LIGHTHOUSE';

before i realized you thought i meant Golden Age points. I meant Great Admiral points, I should have clarified better =(

I did mean Great Admiral. But those two aren't supported. Use the Building_ tables (like Building_YieldChanges).

wow and GPP points on tiles too, thats nuts but i can't think of a way to balance tiles at all. Excited about the buildings tho i need to get into that for sure then, and promotion was another good idea i hadnt thought of, youre right there is the PROMOTION_FAST_ADMIRAL

I couldn't figure out if I was supposed to be adding a column that would allow me to insert GA points to the table or what, i'm like "this only allows yields in the table and GA points isnt a yield!!" i even found AdmiralPoints in the SmallAwards Table and im like hmm how can i make this work? and finally now I see CP did just straight up add them as a yield... this took me way too long to find

<ID>9</ID>
<Type>YIELD_GREAT_ADMIRAL_POINTS</Type>

but its very handy =) and now I understand how they can go on tiles as well, plus I found other cool stuff along the way lol
