Minor Data Structures

This page documents the smaller data structures found in the game's data file, including terrain, resources, tasks, skins, and diplomacy settings.

Terrain Data (terrainData)

Defines all possible terrain types in the game. Each terrain is an object within the terrainData section, keyed by its name. To add a new terrain, simply add a new entry with a unique name and idx.

Syntax

"terrainData": {
  "water": {
    "idx": 1
  },
  "field": {
    "idx": 3
  }
}

Properties

Property Type Description Example Value
idx Integer A unique integer index for the terrain type. When adding a new entry, it is recommended to set this value to -1 to ensure uniqueness and prevent conflicts with game updates. "idx": 1

Resource Data (resourceData)

Defines all possible resource types that can spawn on the map.

Syntax

"resourceData": {
  "game": {
    "resourceTerrainRequirements": [
      "forest"
    ],
    "idx": 1
  }
}

Properties

Property Type Description Example Value
resourceTerrainRequirements Array of Strings An array of terrain IDs where this resource can naturally spawn. ["forest"]
idx Integer A unique integer index for the resource type. When adding a new entry, it is recommended to set this value to -1 to ensure uniqueness and prevent conflicts with game updates. "idx": 1

Task Data (taskData)

Defines special in-game achievements or "tasks" that unlock unique monuments upon completion.

Syntax

"taskData": {
  "pacifist": {
    "improvementUnlocks": [
      "monument1"
    ],
    "idx": 1
  }
}

Properties

Property Type Description Example Value
improvementUnlocks Array of Strings An array of improvement IDs (usually a monument) unlocked when this task is completed. ["monument1"]
idx Integer A unique integer index for the task. When adding a new entry, it is recommended to set this value to -1 to ensure uniqueness and prevent conflicts with game updates. "idx": 1

Skin Data (skinData)

Defines alternate appearances (skins) for tribes. A tribe must list the skin's key in its skins array to use it.

Syntax

"skinData": {
  "swamp" : {
    "color" : 6786096,
    "language": "bub,ly,sq,ee,to,ad"
  }
}

Properties

Property Type Description Example Value
color Integer An integer representing the skin's primary color, overriding the tribe's default. "color": 6786096
language String A comma-separated string of syllables, overriding the tribe's default language. "language": "bub,ly,sq,ee,to,ad"

Diplomacy Data (diplomacyData)

Contains key-value pairs that define the global game mechanics for diplomacy, such as embassies.

  "embassyUpgradeCost" : 20
