I took my small knowledge of AoK:CE editing to the RoR demo, and have been able to do tech edits. Like changing tech costs, research times, and even replacing what they do. Like I made the Long Swordsman avail in Bronze Age by replacing the Bronze Swordsman effect with the Long Swordsman effect. I can't do too much, but that could be because it's the demo. Could someone give me the empires.dat file from a full-version of RoR? Thanx.

Just out of curiosity, is there a possibility that the population limit for single player lives in the DAT file?

No, not code - just hex. I'll have a shot at pop some time. I'm sure it's possible.

The house bit I'm most sure about. Current spanner for that is: "What's the house's ID?"

Mero - your list matches up with mine. I'm compiling one. I only use Hexplorer(which is hex). No special program. 3 other utilities I use are 3 that my brother made for me. A converter for percentages, a converter for number and effect ID's and a special hex-finder.

The first. One unit I want to find is the Slinger, for unlimited stone.

BlackWatch said the population limit had been changed in AoEK, if these files are so similar, might it be that the population limit for AoE can be changed in the DAT file even in a similar place?

Ok. But I think it should also be needed to raise the population per house from 4 to perhaps 16 if the pop limit is raised from 50 to 200 units.

I doubt it sincs SCT knows a lot more than me and most of my knowledge is his learning for AoK converted to RoR.

You mean skip straight to Broad Sword? If so, nothing easier.

That's not what he means. He means that shorties become available without the research, as soon as the player enters the Bronze Age.

In that case, I'm almost as dead sure you can. That stuff is easy.
