the resources of the warehouse can be changed in the GameMechanics/RefTables/TownTypesInfo file in the ResourceSiloIncome section.

taverns can be manually built in each city in the editor, or if using a script, it can be done like this:

for i, town in GetObjectNamesByType('TOWN') do
  UpgradeTownBuilding(town, TOWN_BUILDING_TAVERN)
end

Is there a way to recolor a particle effect when only one texture, glow05, is used?

If everything looks bleak and the Particle effect contains "embedded" colors, you can use any 16-bit editor to change the color components, i.e., RGB.

I usually use in-game textures, simply changing the texture paths through the map editor; this also allows you to see the results.

How do you find the right fragment of the RGB hex code? If the effect is small (for example, eyes), there aren't many lines, and you can find the color code by trial and error. But there are also large effects, like the smoke of a creature, which you used as an example. You could spend all day trying to find it... How do you deal with that?

How do I attach the visual effect of the Fire Wave to a regular attack? I want to make it so that the Fire Wave always triggers as an area-of-effect attack, without any random chance (if you increase the random chance to infinity, it gives an inaccurate damage prediction).

If you need a purely visual effect, you can try adding a ModelInstance and ParticleInstance of a fire wave effect to the list of ModelInstance and ParticleInstance effects for the creature's attack animation. If the effect plays in the wrong direction, adjust the Position and Rotation in the copied instances of the wave effect.
