Putting Forts In D.C. and Cairo April '61

[Colonel Dreux]

Is this only a database mod or is more work required to see that D.C. and Cairo have forts at the beginning of the April '61 scenarios? I do this because the AI will never construct forts in these locals once the game gets under way (at least that is my experience).

Thanks for any help.

Add a line (In this case 2 lines) in the scenario "setup at start" scenario database file.
looking at line 334 You can name the fort anything you like (like fort Dreux).
next line is fort (or depot if you like) and then the level (in this case a level 4 fort). don't forget to get the location right $Prince George's, MD (this is the location of the fort from the cities tab of the same scenario file)

Regenerate the scenario and you will have your forts.
Hope this helps.

bigus,

One other question, if it's okay. What application are you opening the file in? Mine opens in notepad as a default. Yours looks like a microsoft office application.

edit: Looks like excel but how do you get the order and setup, line by line, the way you do? I've not done this before. I've only edited the data files before. Apologies.

I use Open Office (it is a MS office clone). Its a free download.
Try this link for a tutorial on scenario creation. If you have any questions about the tutorial maybe post them in the scenario depot thread. It might come in handy for others later.

Thanks. I may have opened up the wrong file as well. I opened up one of the '61 files from the Scens file. Is that right or should it have been an Events file? Sorry for the confusion.

edit: Scens file is correct, however, using MS Excel the file does not reproduce itself like you have it. I'll the question in the scenario thread.
