So I'm having troubles understanding how to buy provinces from other countries in the game. I've read in multiple places that you can't buy cores from countries, but for example, the highlighted provinces owned by Brazil are all considered cores, correct? Does that mean someone has to conquer those provinces, and then I can trade for them before a core is established, or am I just misunderstanding something?

Hey Guys, I started playing AoC 2 today because I loved the first game and played it hours and hours on my phone, now I'm playing on PC. I started my game with Germany with our Muddi Merkel as leader and I quickly consumed Poland, Switzerland and Luxembourg. Now I'm afraid of war between me and Italy because they don't like me and denied a request for a non-attack-Treaty. I wanted to fortify my Borders in Switzerland but heres Problem: I can't recruit any Troops in occupied Provinces, so, do I have to get my troops from Bayern and Baden-Württemberg (I don't know the english name) or is there any way of making occupied countries a part of my country, so that I can recruit troops? Or are they occupied forever? Please help me, Merkel wants no war^^ Greetings, your Dog3942 from Germany!

Steps: 1. Download Map editor. 2. Clear all data. 3. Copy/Create bg.png (background for your map) 4. Create province. 5. Copy first province into new folder (Province is called PROV, and move it into folder that will be containing all provinces) 6. Rename your first province to 0 (second to 1 etcetera) 7. In game map folder (steamapps\common\Age of Civilizations II\map) copy template (and rename it), and clear "cities" folder. 8. Copy your provinces into update, \data\provinces (I'm not sure if you need to copy it into provinces folder, but It works too :P) 9. Edit config.json(in copied template folder) and change values: { Map: [ { MapName: "%Mapname%", Author: "%Yournickname%", BackgroundName: "%bgname%", ContinentsPackage: "Earth6" RegionsPackage: "Earth_AoC2", NumberOfProvinces: %numberofprovinces%, MapScale: 3, WorldMap: true, Scenario: "testScenario", Wiki: "Wikipedia:Unusual_articles" }, ], Age_of_Civilizations: Map } 10. Rembmer to create background files with name %bgname%_L and %bgname%_R 11. go back to map folders and add line to make game read that map: { Map: [ { Folder: "Earth" }, { Folder: "Ashan" }, { Folder: "Earth_AoC1" }, { Folder: "Kepler" }, { Folder: "template" }, { Folder: "%mapname%" }, ], Age_of_Civilizations: Maps } 12. Run game and go to Editor>MapEditor>EditConnections and Provinces>Update every province you added. (EXAMPLE) 13. Congratulation you have created your first map 😛 Short video, if you still need help. (OS is in polish, rest is in english 😛 ) If you add new province check continent of this province in map editor, if it is "Ocean" the map will load lower scale of the province background Extra: CREATING PROV FILES:

Hello everyone. I have been playing AoC2 since its launch. Everyone that played the game, had the problem of the provinces with 10 of economy. I always try to not invade the provinces with 10 of economy because they are not useful. I'd never known how to increase the economy on provinces with 10 of economy, because I can try to improve the economy and says "4 turns to finish" but then in the next turn the inversions are ended and the province still with 10 of economy. I tried with the development too, but nothing. I play on Legendary difficult, so, idk if that difficult make that provinces impossible to gain economy. Anyone has done it? If you done it, pls told me how you make it. Thank you. Lukasz should fix that, but, we know that he is a little bit inactive.

stworzyłem scenariusz ale okazało się że niektóre cywilizacje mają o wiele większą ekonomię od innych np Polska ma 144 000 a Indie 1000000. Jak zmniejszyć ekonomię proszę pomóżcie mi XD

How to install civilizations_editor documents for AoC ii Android

At first - this is not an ad in any way. So this post was created as a small ease of access know-how that i use to automate region saving excluding Alt-tabbing all the way, by automating i mean: Automate "PROV" file renaming and moving to your provinces folder To start you need install File Juggler https://www.filejuggler.com/download/filejuggler.exe After the installation Run File Juggler and open "Rules" tab, find and click "Add" button there In the newly created tab in "Monitor" choose your AOC_map_editor In "If" find and click "Add condition" (+) button, set everything to "File name"-"Contains"-"Text" and in the blank field type "PROV" In "Then" do the same "Add condition" (+) button twice In the first "Then" field choose "Move file to" and in blank choose your "AOC_map_editor\editor_data\provinces" folder As a second rule choose "Rename file" and click "Variables", in the new window open "Custom date and time" - "Created" and click "Insert". In the window pick the date and time format you want, my proposition is using Month-Day-Hour\24-Minute-Second variable, it is caused by the amount of time you might spend creating your masterpiece (Not talking month, but you never know) I hope that it will make your life as a creator a little bit easier.

Чем-же отличается страна с тегом, спросите вы? Я отвечу: В отличии от кастомной страны, тут вы можете дать другие флаги, другое название стране при другой форме правления. Также локализировать страну страну на другой язык если вы хотите видеть свой мод и на, допустим, английском. Сперва нужно нам сделать следующие действия: Редактор>Редактор игры>Игровые цивилизации>Добавить цивилизацию. Дальше вписываем тег из 3-4 букв (важно: нужно вписывать тег, не занятый уже существующими странами) Также можем изменить цвет цивилизации. Сохраняем. Отлично, новая страна создана, теперь осталось дать стране локализацию и флаг. Разъясняю как добавить локализацию: Сперва добавим локализацию на Русский. Переходим по пути Steam\steamapps\common\Age of Civilizations II\game\Languages\Civilizations и открываем файл Bundle_ru.properties с помощью, допустим, Notepad++. Теперь вписываем сам тег, и после него ставим =, и после него название страны. Если хотим сделать локализацию для английского, то заходим в Bundle.properties. Разъясняю как добавить флаг: Переходим в Steam\steamapps\common\Age of Civilizations II\flags. Там делаем файл с названием тега, и с форматом png. Делаем сам флаг с размером 27x18 в paint и сохраняем. Потом переходим в Steam\steamapps\common\Age of Civilizations II\flagsH. Там повторяем сделанное в прошлой папке, но уже тут не делаем по 4 прозрачных точки по углам. Сохраняем флаг с размером 68x44. А теперь если мы хотим что-бы был другой флаг при, например, фашизме, то создаем новый флаг по тем же параметрам, и к названию добавляем _f. А если для локализации, то вписываем в файле локализации тег_f = название. Теперь заходим в игру и проверяем. Результат на лицо. Это перезалив гайда на форум.

How I Found This Feature I was making a mod where there was real world alliances. While doing this I realized that NATO was way too OP! I decided to go on a journey to find how to make countries like, Russia and China stronger. I figured out some things without help but was never able to share this in which a update deleted my mod. A few weeks later I come to this cite to share my wonderful information to the hungry and desiring community that likes timelaspes! Tutorial 1. Go to "Events" on the main editor page. 2. Add a new event and do whatever recipient you want. 3. change to starting date to whatever date you want (if you want it to start instantly in-game. 4. Go to "Triggers" and click on "If Civilization Exist's" then click on any civilization that is currently in the scenario. 5. Go to "Outcome" and scroll down to economy. Do any country you want and scroll the economy anything you want it to be. 6. Add the provinces you want the economy to be in. 7. Go back and press "Save Event". Copying the Tutorial Dont copy the tutorial please! Im talking to you Raider Knight!☹️

So today i will explain how to make a secure alliance with (almost) any country, this is a recopilation of all the data i've been sharing in the Reddit and the Discord, so here we go! First you have to have these things: Have a relative close distance Both of them have to be nation friends You need to have 60+ relations with him If these things are on, i'm pretty sure it will work. You can raise opinion only with diplomacy, gib them money work but the bonus are very few. Another thing is that i discovered that some nations have "pre-loaded" friends, for example England and Portugal will always start with a good relations or Mexico and Cuba When to call them to war? First of all i want to make clear, if the war is very easy to win just don't invite them, call them if your enemy has a comparable power, or else they will be just a problem. This happens because sometimes you just want to peace out with 99% because maybe on of his provinces are too far, but you ally WILL ALWAYS peace out when its 100% scoreboard [lukasz plz fix]. This is the reason you see Castille and Morocco fight for 900 years. When to join his wars? If you want to get a PU, i recommend to always join his wars, joining wars gives you more + opinion with them If you consider the war won to them don't
