Unlocking 1900, 1910 Start Dates without playing 1890

[Lyev]

Hi All,

I don't personally enjoy the 1890 start date, and want to be able to start a campaign in 1900, or preferably 1910. I'm sure somewhere in the files there is probably a rather simple line of code saying if it is unlocked or not. Is anyone aware of the location of this, or an easy way to modify it? Or is there a console I can use?

Thanks,
Lyev

I've only played the 1890 myself, I think I have 1900 and 1910 but don't know if I had to unlock them.

I agree that 1890 decade is pretty painful to play atm. No diversity, extremely long battle... Unless if you torpedo rush with BBs and cruiser.

There is however a way to skip it entirely go to:
\AppData\LocalLow\Game Labs\Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts

Edit this file: campaign_p.json

Edit it until it look like this:
{
  "Progress": [
    {
      "Key": "germany",
      "Value": [
        0,
        1,
        2,
        3,
        4
      ]
    },
    {
      "Key": "britain",
      "Value": [
        0,
        1,
        2,
        3,
        4
      ]
    }
  ]
}

I tried to unlock all the starting dates also on my laptop. It works. :-)

I cannot find the campaign_p.json file. Is it somewhere else maybe?
