Game Data

game_data is a global table with all data about the current game. You can directly work with it to change the behavior of the game on the server.

How to find out what it contains

You can find out the contents of any table using the built-in function debug_log(game_data) it will write the result to the log file in the server root

Change Tips

Try not to modify this file yourself, but use ready-made modules. For example, if you want two countries to start war with each other, then connect the relations module at the beginning of the plugin (relationships between countries)

local relations = require "core.relations"

And in the plugin code itself, at the right time, call

relations.register_war(land1, land2)
