定义

Defines are variables that affect certain non-scriptable game behaviors, such as army movement and schemes.

Configuration

Vanilla defines are set in game\common\defines\00_defines.txt.

To modify defines, it is best not to modify the original file, but rather to use a mod. To do so, create a mod, then create a text file in Documents\Paradox Interactive\mod\[mod name]\commond\defines. To change a define, use the following format in the following example, which changes the end date to 1800:

NGame = {
    END_DATE = "1800.1.1"
}

The file only needs to contain the edited defines—ones that are not being changed can be left out.

List of defines

The following is a (non-exhaustive) list of defines, organized by category.
