@KuhBooGee Thank you! If I remember correctly, your idea should be doable. But I would have to look into it again.

What a fantastic mod. Is there a way to make the main island in Warring States any bigger? Or to add more islands perhaps?

@Mai
Maybe Steam needed some time to download the files after subscribing? That's the only thing that comes to mind, other than that you're not subscribed.

Odd, I'm at step 3, and couldn't find the folder 2791817815 like you said. :madoka2:

@Bananas Of course! And seeing people like you enjoy my work makes it all the more worth.

Regarding your question, check the AMAZON.xml in the mapstyles folder. There you'll find several entries tagged with "trees" or "mountains". These entries usually refer to clusters of objects, and you can copy paste them to create more or play around with their values. A few tips: When the game crashes to desktop right after starting a new match without going into the loading screen then there are too many objects for the map size you've chosen. The game always tries to keep a certain distance between objects and if it can't do that, it will crash. Also, SCALE in the xml means that the value there changes with the map size. And if you want to quickly test your changes I recommend going into the scenario editor and generating maps there, the game automatically calls upon the xml files each time it starts generating and doesn't need to be restarted for that to work.

Excellent! Thank you for supporting the game after all these years! 🙏

Quick question: Is it possible to make Amazon even more dense with mountains and trees? I kind of want the map to look more like Brazil from CTW with very little room for movement. I can dabble with XML and was looking into it but would appreciate some pointers.

I may recall this works in custom scenarios, for example "Scenario Editor" but I would need more time and effort to figure this out, about the advice, Thanks although it's a big step for me!:steamthumbsup:

It's wherever you installed RoN, or more generally, where you put your steam games. So if that is on C:, then you'll find everything you need there.
Benevolence 31 Jan, 2023 @ 6:03pm 
I suppose this is all in the C-Drive?

RoN is a bit troublesome when it comes to modding. There are only certain files it accepts when installing them the usual way, and the map generation files are not part of them. It doesn't matter what your Windows OS is, the mod probably won't work if you don't do steps 1-4 at least. Steps 5 and 6 are there to ensure as much stability as possible.

If I were to say this is useful, would I need to use *ALL* those instructions? because my computer runs on Windows 10 formats.
Tark  [author] 9 Jan, 2023 @ 2:55am

Well, if you need additional instructions, just let me know.
Benevolence 8 Jan, 2023 @ 4:28pm 
It's not really about this mod, It's about my knowledge of placing files, Nothing here!
Tark  [author] 8 Jan, 2023 @ 12:37pm 
@(MAD)-FoehnRevolt-

Well, whats the problem exactly?
Benevolence 8 Jan, 2023 @ 12:14pm 
*sigh* only if I knew how to use the files correctly...

@The Khan

Thank you very much, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it! Maybe in the future I'll rework the other maps as well

Exactly what the doctor ordered. You doing god's work, seriously. Good job! Can't wait for further additions.
