Modded AI & Legacy Fleet Templates for the Demo

[elouda]

After about 20 playthoughs of the demo, I decided I'd try to fiddle the AI templates to produce some more reasonable legacy fleets. I ended up reworking basically all of the pre-1925 designs, along with about a dozen or so new ones.

While I originally intended this just for personal use to kill time until release, I decided to share these in case someone wants to try them for one last hurrah with the demo.

Overall you will see a larger proportion of ships with 13/14/15in guns (along with a few 16in), a tendancy towards more 23kton+ superdreadnoughts, and less designs with weird weight issues. Also very few cruisers and larger with cramped accomodations or short range. Sadly sometimes you will still get 'out of order' designs, like going from all centerline to side turrets and then back.

Example UK Fleet

NOTE: These are built on the demo, I have no idea how they will work with release. I would advise against using them with it. I may update them to that depending on need.

Installation;

0) (Optional) Back up your RTW Demo/Data/IDes folder.

1) Unzip/unrar the folder onto the RTW2 Demo directory.

2) Allow overwriting of files, this will replace the original files in the RTW Demo/Data/IDes folder.

How you edit it in most efficient way? As notpad edit does not work as there are just too much information, some of them calculated from the design itself.

I use notepad++, a file comparison tool to consolidate them, and do the editing of the designs in the game itself (adjusting tech in the savefile to account for progression). I did the same to add some more variety to mid/lategame RTW1 designs.
