modding strategics amount on map

[zukenft]

so in most games I play, uranium is very scarce, sometimes only 2 patches of them in a whole continent. so you have to choose between building nuclear plants or nukes/GDRs. i know, it's not required to win, but sometimes you want to have some giant robots raining death and destruction on your enemies

yet every patch of aluminium could give 8, and it looks like every CS have one. this also made recycling plants useless.

so how do I mod this? in terrains\civ5resources.xml there's a resource_quantity types table. would it work if I increase the quantity of uranium and reduce aluminum there?

update : tried changing the table, aluminum from 5 to 2, and uranium from 2 to 5.
tested on duel map starting on information era. no changes, uranium patches still only give 4 per patch, while aluminum still give 8 per patch.

From memory (I don't know how to mod maps scripts), the values are hard coded in the map scripts. I recall some modders complaining about this a while ago.

Correct, it's all in AssignStartingPlots.lua, specifically the methods GetMajorStrategicResourceQuantityValues() and GetSmallStrategicResourceQuantityValues() determine how many units of a resource each "stash" receives
