Settler build time value

[naturewhisperer]

Hello everybody

Does anyone know where and in which file the value für the settler build time is to find?

I know its not affectet by:
iTrainPercent
(Unit modifier)
iConstructPercent
(Buildings modifier)

But i couldent find the value for the settler build time!

Please!

iCost I think.

[naturewhisperer]

taken from file: CIV4UnitInfos.xml

Class>UNITCLASS_SETTLER
Type>UNIT_SETTLER
iCost>0

Thats the point, all other Units have some iCosts which can by modify but not the settler...

[naturewhisperer]

Update:

iCosts higher then 1: increase the build time
iCosts with value -1: remove the settler type in the city menu
iCosts -2 or lower: reduce the build costs

Possible is for example:
iCosts -200

I dont know if this works in every mod and every issues.
If someone find another way to change the settler build time pls inform.

Best regards

< Class>UNITCLASS_SETTLER< /Class>
< iCost>100< /iCost>

Positiv Values just increase the duration of settler buildtime.
A negativ value looks like result in quite strange way...

[naturewhisperer]

ok i figured out:
iGrowthPercent>300 is equivalet to the settler hammers which will be need to create settler... that makes the problem bit more difficult for me...

[naturewhisperer]

the problem is if I make a negative iCost it affects the marathon,epic,normal,quick mode diffrent cause it will only decrease the value and not %decrease.

currently I have no idea how i can increse the growth time of citys without affect settler build time or to minimze the settler buildtime %equivalent to the game quickness mode...

Does nobody know where the basic value für settler building is to be find?

[wodan11]

Yeah, I think it was posted here.

[naturewhisperer]

Found!

The basic Value is:
iDefineName>BASE_CITY_GROWTH_THRESHOLD
iDefineIntVal>2
File: GlobalDefines.xml (assets directory)

This value affect City grow and Setller build time!

iDefineName>CITY_GROWTH_MULTIPLIER
iDefineIntVal>20
File: GlobalDefines.xml (assets directory)

This value affect City growment only!


iGrowthPercent>
File: CIV4GameSpeedInfo.xml (assets\GameInfo directory)

Affects city growment and settler build time!
Base on the BASE_CITY_GROWTH_THRESHOLD!

Thanks Wodan if u try to help but dont write useless stuff in serious Threads!!

That WAS a serious answer. If you disagree with that answer, feel free to say so. You didn't answer my first post *at all*.
