This page will show you how to change the boni, CommandPoint limits and BuildingSpots. The default regions are defined in data\ini\campaigns\common\livingworldregions.inc. The Region blocks contain quite a lot of stuff (mostly for visual effects). The following fields can be set within a Region block:
- ArmyBonus: the number of additional command points this region will grant its owner on the living world
- ResoureBonus: the percentage of additional gathered resources in any RTS battle
- LegendaryBonus: the number of additional spellbook points in any RTS battle
- AttackBonus: the percentage of additional attack strength in an AutoResolveBattle (this obviously affects the attack strength of hero armies but I am not sure whether this only applies in offensive battles or in defensive battles too, as in garrison armies that deal more damage...)
- DefenseBonus: similar to AttackBonus but for defense.
- ExperienceBonus: the percentage of additional experience units gain in a AutoResolveBattle.
- CPLimit: the command point limit for any garrison army in this region (though I believe the AI sometimes accidently ignores this value :-/ ).
- AllyCPLimit: the command point limit for each ally garrison army.
- CreateAutoFort: if this field is set to Yes the region will always have a fort in AutoResolveBattle (but not in RTS).

Default every region has two BuildingSpots except for regions with a special fort (Erebor, Dol Guldur, Helm's Deep, Isengard, Minas Morgul, Minas Tirith) which only have one. A BuildingSpot defines the coordinates on the whole world where the player can build one of the four livingworld buildings in this region: Resource, Fortress, Barracks, Armory. If you add any more BuildingSpots to a region take care the coordinates are within the region (it would look rather strange if a barracks which belongs to Rivendell appears in Mordor :)
Additional to the number of buildings being restricted by the number of BuildingSpots you can explicitly set a limit for the different kind of buildings:

              

Code

RestrictBuildings     Buildings = Fortress     NumberAllowed = 0 End RestrictBuildings     Buildings = Barracks     NumberAllowed = 2 End

These two blocks will restrict the number of barracks to 2 and forbids the building of a fortress completly in the Region they are defined in.
I have not yet worked with ConnectsTo since it probably would require changing the .map file by creating wotr entrance points on the map.
In addition to all single Regions data\ini\campaigns\common\livingworldregions.inc also contains concurrent regions such as Arnor, Eriador, etc.

              

Code

ConcurrentRegionBonus     Territory = LW:TerritoryArnor     EffectName = Arnor     Regions = Arnor Buckland Ettenmoors Rivendell The_Shire Tower_Hills     ArmyBonus = 0     ResourceBonus = 0     LegendaryBonus = 0     AttackBonus = 0     DefenseBonus = 0     ExperienceBonus = 20     UnifiedEvaEvent = WorldUnifyArnor ; Played when local player gains all the regions in this territory     LostEvaEvent = WorldLostArnor ; Played when local player had all the regions in this territory but lost one     LookAtCenter = X:-1121 Y:2072     LookAtHeading = 0     LookAtZoom = 0.55 End

All the fields in this block should be either selfexplanatory or already described above.

If you don't want to change the regions for all scenarios you may write your own include file. In this case however you will need to define another LivingWorldRegionCampaign in data\ini\campaigns\riskcampaign.ini and use it in the scenario (but more on that later):

              

Code

LivingWorldRegionCampaign AnotherCampaign     ;// Visual stuff     RegionConqueredSound = Gui_RegionConquered     RegionEffectsManagerName = WotRRegionEffects     ArmyPlacementPos = X:-0 Y:0            ; 10 o'clock offset     ArmyPlacementPos = X:0 Y:0            ; 2 o'clock offset     ;// Strings     RegionBonusArmy            = LW:RegionBonusArmy_Good     RegionBonusResource        = LW:RegionBonusResource     RegionBonusLegendary        = LW:RegionLegendaryBonus     ;// Army Size Command Point Caps     HeroOnlyArmyCommandPoints = 0     SmallArmyCommandPoints = 120     MediumArmyCommandPoints    = 240     ;// Hero army retreat     ArmyRetreatRounds    = 25          ;// Including the regions     #include "Common\OtherLivingWorldRegions.inc" End

There are a few interesting fields in there:
- HeroOnlyArmyCommandPoints: If the command points of all units in a hero army (including the heros commandpoints) are less or equal to this value the hero will only have no pip above its banner at all (Since a hero army will always contain the hero this should never be the case).
- Small-/MediumArmyCommandPoints: If the command points of all units in any (garrison or hero) army are less or equal to these values the army will have one/two pips above its banner. If the value is even higher than MediumArmyCommandPoints it will have three pips.
- ArmyRetreatRounds: This is the number of AutoResolve rounds an enemy army may execute on a retreating army (though the default value of 25 seems a bit high to me).
To use your custom regions just change the path of the include command.
