How do you check bad-boy value?
I know it's there in the save files somewhere but they are so damn big I didn't know where to find it. Could someone tell me?

Open it in NotePad or WordPad and use the search function to search for the word Badboy. I've never done it but that's what everyone else says.

Use Wordpad, but yeah, that works. Just keep hitting next until your country comes up. If you're playing as Austria, it's labeled as HAB for Habsburgs.

There is also a utility called EUview. It opens EU savegames and shows you all the countries stats, including badboy in tabled format, very easy to read. You will find it in the downloads section of the official site.

Anyone have a link to the "official site"? I went to what I thought was the official site, but everyone keeps sayiong how there are all these downloads for the game, and NONE of these files are at this particular site. The only thing I found was the patch.

The EUview sounds cool but I couldn't find it in the Downloads section. Have they removed it or something?

BTW the suggested method worked and I found I have a badboy of 22. That rather bad right? That probably explains why everyone seems to be declaring war on me at the drop of a hat.

How do you reduce your badboy value? Do you just sit around for a while without expanding?

badboy value is set in afile that escapes me the moment but its value is negligble as an inrease if you take provinces in a defensive war,better yet if you come to aid of an ally,lots of increase the more anti social your style of plays,basicly its a game balance ploy to inhibit militry expansionist play.

Not that I would do this, but can you also edit your gold amnt and things like that? Sizes of cities... etc? Seems kinda pointless, but yeah, is it poissible? Or would something like that crahs the game?

Yes, 22 is bad but lots of players enjoy getting higher numbers.

Only honest way to lower the number is wait. For 22 to drop to 0 requires 88 years (1 point every 4 years), although getting it down below 10 is usually good enough. Or you could lose some wars and give up territories, but not much fun in that.

The "dishonest" way is to change the number in the file and save it, then you can keep on rolling.
