Newbie Question - D'oh!

[ken_e_b]

My sincere apologies to all for this newbie question, especially how I bet it's been asked many times...

Anyhow, I wish to become cheating scum on Emperor and adapt the rules a little for the single player campaigns. I have tried both manually editing the rules.ini file and using Tibed 1.54 however after modifying the rules, no changes have taken place.

I have tried starting new games, restarting saved ones and still no changes have taken place. The changes to the file have been saved, so I must be doing something really dumb.

Thanks!

okay

First

Everyone was new once, and I still ask that question to myself.

But

what changes do you make?

Like, Price, cost?

[ken_e_b]

Well, I didn't want to go overboard *remembers giving medics on R.A. telsa guns*, so I just reduced the price of the Atreides infantry to 10 and halfed the building time (first using Tibed, then manually editing after no effect).

When this didn't work, I tried a different tactic and replaced the rules.ini with my backup and changed the difficulty settings so that on the easy setting, things would cost 25%.

Other than that, I haven't made any more adjustments.

[jacobdouds]

well, you say rules.ini

Do you mean Rules.txt

It should have worked if they are in the

DataModel folder.

[ken_e_b]

sorry... I did mean rules.txt - d'oh!  :-X

Well, as long as I am not doing anything wrong, I will persevere and try and suss out where I'm cocking things up.

Thanks!

I really hope this "Cheating" is just for fun!

For at easy difficult level the only map, that is possible to loose on is the Highliner maps and the emperor worm!
