Modding building costs

Editing the cost for buildings is very simple! If you want to know how, please keep reading:

First you open a file called building_costs in the C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron 2\db Directory.

Once you open the file, then you see all the buildings that you can build in hoi2.

For example, say we want to mod the land fort...

You should see something like this:

landfort = {    cost       = 5      buildtime  = 120    manpower   = 0      size       = 1 } 

As you can see, it's rather simple...

Here is what each value represents:

cost

How much IC it costs while building

buildtime

How many days it takes until completion

manpower

How much manpower it costs to create.

size

How big it becomes upon completion. This would determine the capacity of a airbase or a naval base.

NOTE! As always when modding, make sure to have a backup of the original file in case you really mess things up!
