What is the object id for the shadow under the TC?


As you can see above I managed to change Red’s TC graphic into that of feudal age despite Red being in the imperial age. However the shadow of the Imp TC remains, as you can see compare to the Orange’s TC who’s actually in feudal age.


TC shadows as separated graphic files exist, but I can’t seem to find the objects that uses them.

Town Center is a multi-stage built component with a head unit carrying all the annexes including shadows.

Shadows are generally used inside graphics directly, where a graphic will print the shadow and then ontop another sprite, like projectiles.

You have to study and understand how the Town Center object works by reading the “annexe” section so you can understand where every graphics are.

There is also a “build preview” version that combine all graphics from annexes and shadows at once but it’s not the one you should use.

You need to swap the 4 annexes of the object to the targeted result, which is kinda complexe to learn but now it’s possible to edit the annexes attribute since the last dlc patch. However I did not yet dive into those attribute editing ingame so can’t really help you with how to.
