In the config.json file of the map, there are new values: MapScaleExtra: 1.0, ProvinceBorderNew: true, ProvinceNames: true, ## MapScaleExtra Adjusts the map’s scale without needing to generate higher-scale province backgrounds. 1.0 is default value.

When creating a scenario, you can choose if an event is a mission and describe what the player has to do. When all mission conditions are met, the player can activate the mission. The AI does this automatically. To create a mission for a Civilization, set the recipient to a specific Civilization and enable the mission button. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3687537505

Creating Animated Leaders It is possible to create animated leaders for the game. To do this, create a new leader as usual or find an existing leader image file. For this example, we will use "benito.png", so in the leader editor the leader image is benito.png. To tell the game that this leader has an animation, start by naming the first frame "benito0.png". In the leader editor, the image should still be set to "benito.png". Place all animation images inside: game/leadersIMG/ The images must be named sequentially, starting with benito0.png, then benito1.png, benito2.png, and so on up to benitoX.png. Example: benito0.png benito1.png …

It will be possible to create Global Events in the Scenario Editor. You can use them also as news events, where the event only appears without any effect, or you can give the event a global outcome. To create a Global Event, the "Recipient Civilization" must be set to Neutral. You can use any triggers and outcomes just like with a normal event. A global event will be shown to the player regardless of which civilization they are playing. If there is more than one outcome button, the player will be able to choose the outcome.

To enable the possibility of changing colors and make the game load them, you need to create an empty text file: mods/yourModName/UI/colors/loadColors.txt By having the loadColors.txt file, the game will load all files it can find in mods/yourModName/UI/colors/. It is possible to change 63 colors. Each file changes one color. For example, COLOR_POPULATION.txt changes the population text color in the game. Each file should contain an RGB color value separated by semicolons, for example: 255;0;255; You can subscribe to the mod to see all available files that change specific colors in the game along with their names.
