Is it possible to make a passive commander upgrade that changes the 'build time & population upkeep' of specific British buildings, like 17lbs, boforos and mortar pit?

if so how?? I've been trying to do this for ages and idk what im doing wrong.

One way to achieve this is to make clones of those units. One unit will require the passive upgrade and the second will not. So the unit that won't require it will be present until the passive will be active. Once the passive is active the unit that requires that upgrade will replace the original one.

And of course, you change the stats that you want to change for the one that will require the upgrade.

How do they work? All I can find is the plane and the smoke. No mention of the ordinance dropped. I’m so confused

Can anyone explain the structure of air strikes?

All airstrikes abilities have air_strike_action where you can toy around with the values of the airstrike. But a lot of configuration can also be done in the aircraft_squad_name where you put the path to your plane sbps file.

In the sbps file, there is nothing much you can edit but where you can furthermore customize your airstrike is the ebps file of your plane. In there you can find flight_ext and that is where you can again change values and add actions to your plane while it is active.

Other threads said you can’t do it with the AE, tried it anyways
It didn’t work

Seeing as the Community mod/balance team changes these for each patch, does anyone know how to do it? -Heard something about it requiring a win condition

You can't do it. For them, it works because they work with Relic on updates.

You can open .sga files with the Archive Viewer. From there you can try to recover your files.

Hey, so I found the matches for the IDs you provided. And indeed your IDs are equal to the pbgid in the AE but for the commanders, your IDs are equal to their server_id.
