Please tell me, where are the ".xdb" files responsible for the layout of the City Short Description (Right-click on map)?? Specifically, I need the files responsible for the text fields, and possibly the ".dds" cover itself (though not entirely sure). I want to expand some text downwards, but it simply disappears because the game doesn't register text display below a certain field. I spent about 40 minutes searching; I already found the text descriptions for everything I wanted, and all the city description layout files INSIDE the cities themselves when you enter them. But I just can't find the external window—the one from the map via right-click.
UPD: I realized that this window is not static but stretches itself. So the question about ".dds" files is irrelevant. I figured out where to change the army text display; it seems like I'm heading in the right direction, but I still don't even remotely understand where the ".xdb" file responsible for... wait... wait wait... city characteristics is... I saw a dds that was responsible for some characteristics, thought it was about hero characteristics (yes, editing this city window and editing the hero window are the same thing and are handled by the same files
). Give me a second, I'll go look further. BUT just in case some super smart person drops by and helps me—I want to expand the "Castle" label in the city characteristics, or more accurately, make more room for the text so it doesn't disappear.
UPD2: Alright, that's it, I give up. I realized that editing text parameters is not linked to its display at all. Like, hypothetically we can make the text window size 40x40, and write whatever we want in that window. But if the display was set somewhere as size 15x10, it will stay that way. In the end, we won't see anything beyond those 15x10, even if we gave the game the possibility to pile on 40x40 text (and the game will pile it on, only we won't see it :D). And I have absolutely no clue where to move these boundaries. Maybe someone more experienced can tell me where to do this, and whether it's even possible at all.
