Theatre Information

A number of files are used to describe Theatres (Theaters) used in the game world.

&&THEATRE is exported by the scenario creator tool as part of the CVP file. &&THEATRETEXT is exported by the localization tool.

&&THEATRETEXT

This includes location text for each theatre - the language localized name, short name, and sort order. If not present then the information from the &&THEATRE section is used.

&&THEATRETRANSF

This data controls AI and Minister unit control ("AI Requests"). It is stored in the CVP file and is exported by the scenario creator (effective version x.1.194). Previously it was stored in \INI\AITheater.INI and loaded through AllLoad.ini.

AI will ordinarily not respond to out-of-theatre requests / hotspots unless this section lists the destination theatre as "opt in".

An exception to the use of the Theatre Transfer list is that Event 55 (AI Agenda/Stance) uses Parameter i2 to indicate whether the AI region will allow transfers to all other theatres regardless of the transfer list.

Each line starts with the theatre number (ie, 6 for Central America), and then up to 8 neighboring theatres for which theatre-transfers are permitted for unit responses.
