New to the game, need help with editing world_default

ProXy · 05-08-2017, 10:32 PM

Hey all, I'm new to OOTP and I'm trying to make a new fictional world for my league. I've been using this guide which everyone seems to like, but seeing as the tutorial is kind of five years old, it seems as though it's a bit outdated. There are some terms in the world_default.xml file that I can't figure out. For instance, the nation header has a "capid" flag as shown here:

Code:

<NATION id="3" name="Algeria" pop="34895000" lid="17" capid="1581" gender="0" bbqual="0" abbr="ALG" dem="Algerian" time_zone="1">

I've been able to figure out everything else, but not this. What does "capid" mean? I have a feeling that, because it's an ID, I have to make sure not to have duplicates, but what is it actually controlling? Can anyone help me?

From what I can tell, “capid” is the ID# for the capital city of that country. If you look at Algiers in world_default.xml, its city ID is 1581. Happy editing!
