What is the default starting food per grain?

from Elemental Forums

My games seem to be starting with 500 Food Per Grain.  Trouble is, even with Use Mods off, it has this.  I have recently redownloaded all the files and directories from Data\English, and only replaced two - CoreQuests.xml and CoreRandomEvents.xml.  What is the normal starting food per grain meant to be?

According to CorePlayerAbilities: 25

 

<PlayerAbilityType InternalName="A_Additive_FoodPerGrain">
<DisplayName>Base Food Per Grain</DisplayName>
<Description>How much food each unit of grain produces in a city.</Description>

<DefaultValue>25</DefaultValue>

seems to be 25 food per grain at the start of the game. there are yield modifiers in the XML file that defines the race (faction), i think your problem might be in those XML files. 

by default, the relevant part of the file should look like this:

<A_GoodieRating>1.0000</A_GoodieRating>
<A_GrainYield>1.0000</A_GrainYield>
<A_ManaRegeneration>1.0000</A_ManaRegeneration>
<A_MaterialsYield>1.0000</A_MaterialsYield>
<A_MaxArmySize>5.0000</A_MaxArmySize>
<A_NPCSpawnRating>2.0000</A_NPCSpawnRating>
<A_QuestingRating>5.0000</A_QuestingRating>
<A_Traits>4.0000</A_Traits>
<A_UnitUpgrades>100.0000</A_UnitUpgrades>

 

 

looks like a percentage based system with 1.0000 being the default value (i.e. 100%); i guess the faction you tries must have a value of 20 in the grain yield tag, this would result in a 2000% multiplier, i.e. 500 food per grain instead of 25. not sure how this might have happened, but at least taht would explain the number.

I wonder how it got to 500 then?  Without mods it is still at 500.  I deleted the entire Data\English directory and redownloaded it all, so any core edits from Immersion mod which I've removed should no longer be there.

maybe that mod replaced the original faction definitions? not sure about the default factions, but custom factions aren't stored in Data\English but in My Documents\My Games\LegendaryHeroes\Race.

i suggest you find out where the faction definitions are and take a look at the values in the tags i posted above. if they are different from the default, either modify them back to default values manually or re-download the files.

Thanks, I must have created the faction when I was using the Immersion mod, and its settings were saved in the Race directory, even though the defaults have changed.
