Changing the price of imported goods only
« on: July 15, 2009, 11:37:47 am »
Is it possible to mod the game so that imported goods values would be higher. I mean that for example if I'm selling a plump helmet, it would net me 4$, but if I'd be buying it from the caravan, it'd be 12$ (three times base price). Trade agreements would ofcourse affect the import/export price too.

I'd like to do this to make the game a bit harder because it seems quite easy to sweep the caravans clean of useful stuff just by trading off a few high value rare metal statues for example. And cranking out crafts nets quite a lot too, especially when you get into metal crafting and decorations.

PS. Also is there a way to reduce the amount of mugs produced / resource to 1, like other crafts?

I believe that it is possible to increase the prices of something that you import, however, this raises all prices of that thing, including what you can sell that for. So that wouldn't really help you at all. As for the mugs, no, it is hardcoded.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Could you take the bartering skill away from dwarves, or cripple it somehow?
