Having not bought the game yet, how hard would it be to create a simple editor? I understand the files are XML and/or CSV formatted, so I will assume it's more about understanding how they are related, and then creating a GUI to manipulate and validate the resulting files?

they have .csv files (excel) that are fairly easily editable. I looked at them myself and figured out whats going on and I dont even speak polish.

If they simple had a little more infro (in english) you can mod the files directly.

And what is the (Edytor Grafu Miast.exe) program?

I can reveal some details of this secret

AI uses a graph for strategic-level planning, graph nodes are cities, and graph edges can be edited with Edytor Grafu Miast.exe (cities graph editor). This is simple tool, on exit it saves polaczenia.csv file which you can replace with existing cities_diagram.csv file. Don't do it without backing up the changed file though.

There appears to be a Polish editor.

I've attached the manual which is in Polish. It's in .pdf format and I've had to change the extension to .txt in order to upload. I think that if you just change it back to .pdf you should be able to open it and read it.

Who knows what it says but it appears to describe editing the map in detail. I don't have the 'editor' as such but even in Polish it would be good.

I can't figure out any way to edit the actual hexes and change sea hexes into land, vica versa, plain into mountain, change fortification level etc

Maddoc06:
There is no polish editor. Document you have found in the depths of internet is only a programming specification.
Some time ago we have written how should it works, no how it works.
