These 8 bytes each represent one tile of the 8 surrounding the colony, and in the order N, E, S, W, NW, NE, SE, SW. Max 15d=F.īyte index 70-77, Colonists working tiles I think the only use of this variable is to decide when a teacher teaches a teachable colonist his profession. Each turn the colonist stays in the same place his value here is increased by one. The order is inversed though, so the four least significant bits in the first byte (2nd digit) denotes the first colonist. Here each byte is for two colonists (one hex digit/colonist). The list below isn't complete, I haven't researched all possibilities.ġ2 Teacher (has been found in game in other ways as well)ġ7 Veteran dragoon (yup, unit with horses and all inside colony.) Here you can choose some unexpected values (some included below), but most of them will probably crash the game sooner or later. Note that for the colonists working in the fields, the actual tile is not noted here, only what they are extracting from it.īyte index 40-5F, Colonist specializationĮach byte corresponding to the colonist in the same position as above, but now denoting the expertise of the colonist. The colonists are "numbered" 00-1F and for each colonist their occupation is described here. The amount of colonists currently _in_ the colony, max 32d=20 Name of colony in ASCII, max length 22d characters (obviously) Note that colonies does not work well in water.

The coordinates (in hex) of the colonies. When you have finally found it, the bytes describe the following stuff (from now on all numbers in hex unless noted Xd (X decimal number), and byte 00 is the initial byte the colony is described by.) You can easily find the colony by searching for its name. SAV in a hex editor, you'll discover that each colony is represented by 202 bytes, and the colonies follow each other in a certain segment of the. Turns out it's quite possible to get rid of that stockade through. Since it was founded too close an already existing colony and had no use at all, I wanted to disband it. Then of course we both had to play a game right away to show the other who was the superior Col player.Īnyway, somewhere around 1600 I had captured a Dutch colony with that hated stockade. Just started a recent game of Colonization, as I happened to get in a discussion with a mate about the superior strategy.
