I have tried modifying the game files "XXX.nat" with Notepad & Notepad++ but the game does not recognize the changes that I made. Any advice on how to do this?

don't know if you mean changing for all future games or for a specific save, but for a specific save go into the game save folder and open RTWGame(X).bcs with notepad - (X) being the game save number

Not for saves. I would like to change the starting budget in order to make some countries more competative. Here is the CSA 1900.nat file. I tried to change the Admiral name from Buchanan to Slocum. The file now reads as below but the game still uses the name Buchanan. I would also like to change:
EfficientShipbuildingIndustry=1 to a 0
UndevelopedShipbuildingIndustry=0 to a 1
BaseResources=16 to a 20
Altered Game file below:

OOps. I already have changed
EfficientShipbuildingIndustry=1 to a 0
UndevelopedShipbuildingIndustry=0 to a 1
but as the admiral name is not changed I don't think these were changed.

Eureka! I have the answer. There are 3 CSA>>>nat files. I finally tried changing CSA.n00 (after trying the other 2) & I got the results I wanted. I used Notepad++. So now I can adjust the starting conditions for the game provided countries.

what do these do, in particular Possession{x} and BKT{x} which both look to me like lists of coloines?
Is this documented anywhere?

The Possession[x] entries list the nations starting territories - these are only there because it’s not one of the default starting nations. It overrides the default possession owners in the mapdata file. BKT[x] are Blitzkrieg targets, possessions that can be taken in a blitz attack if the country is fascist (and maybe communist too?) |

Go to the MOD LISt, the topic just above this one. Near the bottom download the custom nation editor. Open the text file that explains it. I gave the CSA Base Rsoruces of 18. This makes them competive. Out of the 7 nations they normally rank #3 or #4 in income. I also got rid of their undeveloped ship building industry & gave them an efficient ship building industry with a starting dock size of 16. Plenty of ways to customize a country. A tempting approach is to keep it small but make it good at everything & maybe a limited democracy (that is why it is good at everything!) For instance make the starting guns a 1, change AttentionToDetail=0 &
TechnicalExcellence=0. I really like Research10Advantage=1 as this gives an advatange researching subs. A small country can win a war with just this. I might switch Panama to a starting possesion or give it to the USA as something good to fight over. There is a similar file for Spain, who desperately needs help.
