Sovereign Customization

Modify

from Elemental Forums

Hi,

I created a custom sovereign for my games of Elemental and I would like to correct an error in history and stats. I can delete the sovereign with right clic or create ne one, but I don't see any means to modify an existing custom sovereign at the sovereign selection screen. Must I delete it and create it from scratch?

Thanks

You could open up the file and change it in there I think.

Opening the files?

A file created in game directory?? I must open the file from the game screen or from windows explorer?

It's in your documents folder under games > elemental > units

 

i.e.

 

Documents\My Games\Elemental\Units

 

You'll see your sovereign's name along with some random numbers. It's an XML file. Hold right shift, then right click on the file and go to Open With > Notepad. If Notepad isn't available go to Open With > Choose Program and use Notepad.

 

The history is the text between <backstory></backstory>, at the start of the file.
