Under each building, it shows a level.
-=For example=-

CompanyHouse { name = str_COMPANYHOUSE }
Fort { name = str_FORT

1 { price = 50000 wood = 40 stone = 80 iron = 30 upkeep = 3500 build_time = 4

2 { price = 120000 wood = 80 stone = 150 iron = 50 upkeep = 10000 build_time =
10 special = 10 }
These levels represent the current config for each building at its five
levels. You will need
to change one or all levels to your choosing.
For example:
Buildings
{
Admiralty
{
name = str_ADMIRALTY
}
CompanyHouse
{
name = str_COMPANYHOUSE
}
Fort
{
name = str_FORT
0
{

build_time = 0
// special - number of cannons defending port

}

{
price = 1

}
2
{
price = 1
wood = 1
stone = 1
iron = 1
upkeep = 1
build_time = 1

}
In this example, the "Fort" building at level 1 will cost 1 gold, 1 wood,
1 stone, 1 iron, 1 upkeep, and 1 month to build.
Modify ships:
Use a text editor to edit the "shiptypes" file in the directory:
"\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\East India Company\Data\AI". This file
contain the
configuration of every ship. You can edit their price, health, cannons, cargo
space, etc.
This procedure may affect AI game play, because the AI may use these same
configurations
to purchase and use their ships of the same kind. The following is an example
for the
Galleon.

The following indicates the health of the hull, sails, and cannons in tactical
mode.
