in 1.04c you could have Star Shaped Forts.
Can I have these in 1.05?
Can I use this to do it?
ChangeStrucType
I want my European locations to be such, so no one will want to attack them.
Also, Depot Larger than 1. Halifix is level 2. How do I make them Level 2.
Thx!

2Depot.str has MaxLevel = 1. So, how do I make this 2 so some of my bigger cities have the ability to have Depot = 2.
Also, still not sure how I get those Star Forts for my Europe locations.
Need help please!
Thx!

the MaxLevel is a constraint which is not taken into account when you do a setup or an event. You can place or ugprade a depot to level 2, you can't spend 2 wagons to have a depot go from level 1 to 2...
For Star Shaped Forts, I don't quite know, as I don't follow closely the WIA data, but my guess is that it is another structure and not just a fort with a level of 3, so yes you have to change the structure type from something to Star Shaped. This need you have a .str file depicting the structure also, if the WIA team removed them, you got a problem.

Pocus,
So, if I understand you correctly.
1) Depot
So I don't have to change 2Depot.str, I could use an event to change it from Level 1 Depot to Level 2. I accept that you can only build a level 1 in the game during play. But I just want my Europe bases on setup to be just that, big and impossible to take, thus I want a Star Fort and Level 3 Depot.
2) Fortress
Picture is there. Stockade and Settlement pictures are there too, those are Structure_Stockade & Structure_Settlement. Is it possible that there is a special string for the Star Fort? Because Stockade and Settlement do not have a .str file.

If you are referring to WIA (as I think I'm correct in understanding)
In v1.04c there are 7 .str files in the ...WIA/GameData/Structures/... subfolder
0Harbor.str
1Fort.str
2Depot.str
3City.str
4IndianVillage.str
5Settlement.str
6Stockade.str
So what do you mean Stockade and Settlement do not have a .str file?
Is v1.05 changed?

If these are it, they are simply defined as level 3 or higher forts to get this graphic. No need to mess with structures files...

I using v1.05 Beta
Okay, as I have confused everyone.
To setup a Stockade:
Structure_Stockade in my setup file. No worries. (It works)
Settlement:
Structure_Settlement in my setup file. No worries. (It works)
Fort:
Fort - if I put 1 I get level 1, if I put 2 I get level 2.
If I put 3, I get level 2 fort.
So, how do I get the Star Fort?
Do I do it in Setup file? City file? Is there some special code or column?
Added my Setup file. See Line #71
Thx!
