When I first got this game I was glad to see the French and Indian War represented in BOA. The French during the period that includes this war are my favorite wargaming army. For this reason I want to make the French army into a super army that can destroy anything that dares stand in its way, but in the process of finding the appropriate files and making changes I apparently hit a ceiling as far as how much change BOA will tolerate. As a result when I tried to play I got some kind of message in essence telling me that I was in editing mode, which meant that actually playing the game was out of the question. I reinstalled the game and fixed that problem but I'm back to square one when it comes to the edits for the French army. What are the limits on editing an army? I want to do this successfully without all the pain the next time around.
I wouldn't think that changing data in text files would be too complicated. My main issue, as I already said, is finding out how much change the game will tolerate without in some way going bonkers.
