Hello,
The development of the game is progressing smoothly, and I’m posting this Steam news to summarize the latest patch content.
1) The 1969-1975 scenario has been extended to cover the 1969-1979 period.
2) The oil industry has been reworked and now appears as a country trait. Countries with this trait are more affected by global oil prices. Economic aid to these countries while prices are high will also have a greater impact.
3) The multiplayer system has been reworked once again. I need your feedback to improve it further.
4) As some of you have started tinkering with the JSON save files, I’ve added some basic features to make modding easier.
I’ll continue to add more modding features as development progresses and plan to release a proper editor sometime after launch.
Here are a few steps you can take to gain an infinite budget (it should take less than 5 minutes):
Open a save file with your Notepad.
Search for "Country":"USA", then look for "budget" and "monthly." Change the value to whatever you like (maybe 1000?).
Voilà!
(You can open the game folder from the options menu so you don't have to search for it.)
Once you’ve made the changes, place the file in the games folder > mods > custom_json.
Rename your file with a creative name, such as "infinite_money."
Now, whenever you launch the game, an option to play your custom scenario will be available in the scenarios list.
Have fun!
