The ID numbers are part of the database, which was added a decade into the game. The main nation information is in a series of flat files, which in 2002 seemed appropriate for a novel-promoting game that would probably die off in 3 weeks. In retrospect, Max and company should have started with a database ... but they didn't, and we're still paying the price.Minoa wrote:I imagine that it will take a lot of work to completely transition to using ID numbers only.
A complete rebuild of the entire game. So yes, a lot of work.
