Can we mod Area Importance?

[thadian]

Can we change area importance? I want to bring Great Lakes up to 85 and make a few other changes, if possible, for my database...

[Acey]

Yes, I am not at my PC but I believe it is in the 'Database Details' tab at the bottom of the editor screen.

Inside the Database Details tab, we can edit Industry and Economy.

 

I don't see the option to edit Importance.

You can. The above refers to the economic settings.

[thadian]

So where is Importance buried?

 

It's the setting from TEW13 and TEW16 that let you, for example, set an area high or low in "Importance" (not economic or industry). For example, you could turn Tri-State to very low importance, or Hawaii to very high importance. This would then reflect the number of "viewers" in a region/area. This works with the economy and industry settings.

It has been removed, you cannot change the area sizes and importance like you could in 2013/2016. So Hawaii and Puerto Rico will always be the smallest territories. Personally, i liked how it used to be, where you could edit regions how you want.

As Capelli King stated it is not editable. In the player handbook:

 

Game World -> Potential Fan Base

 

if you want to see all the details.

Aww, damn. I liked it better, too. I used to fine tune the regions as part of specializing my companies. At least I know.
