quick modding question

[theenemy]

Ehm, is it possible to mod starting gold and resources for a nation? I don't think its covered in the modding manual that comes with the game.

You can give them a magic site which gives extra gold and/or resources.

I don't think you can decrease them though, at least so far as I know.

As llamabeast said, it can't be directly modded. Besides sites, you can also change the castle they start with - a fort with good admin(istration) value will gather an impressive amount of resources from the neighbouring provinces, and produce a lasting benefit. The starting fort can be chosen or changed without changing other nations, or the castles the nation can build.
