How to slow this by 1/2?

[Colwyn]

I want to reduce the number of given techs using the dissemination slic file below, how would I half the frequency of below?

[Locutus]

The code contains a few hundred statements of "Random(2*numberOfPlayers)". Change the 2 in that statement to a 4. To avoid a lot of tedious work, do a global search and replace: replace "2*" with "4*", you'll be done in a matter of seconds

Better yet, change the 2 to a variable so that if you wish to tweak it further you can with more ease.

I changed it to 3 which in my opinion is best as it stops the player from waiting to be given the advances.

umm..4-give me oh great Locutus, but how exactly would one do this.."Global search"

Thanks in advance

where I am going with this is I thought I could do a "global search" when altering the units.txt file when removing the "Can Pillage" or Can Pirate" flags

I manually remove them but would be nice if I could simply do what you say here..

I usually use EDITPLUS2

Thanks

Could I use this just as a simple slic added to th end of the default SLIC or save the whole file mentioned above?

Thanks

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question... Could you use what as a simple SLIC addition?

So is your question whether you should put it in script.slc or add it as a seperate file and #include it?

The former should work, but the latter would probably be more sensible.
