Csv Files

The game rules are encoded in .csv files. You can browse the decompressed files here and here

These files are lzma compressed, with a slightly modified header:

You should add 4 0x00 bytes at offset 9 in the file. So for example buildings.csv looks like this:

00000000: 5d 00 00 04 00 bc bb 00 00 00 11 13 88 26 d3 4d
00000010: 46 2e b6 95 4a a1 a0 f1 d5 a6 2b 9b 1a 5e 3b 89
...

then you change that to this using your favorite hex-editor:

00000000: 5d 00 00 04 00 bc bb 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 11 13
00000010: 88 26 d3 4d 46 2e b6 95 4a a1 a0 f1 d5 a6 2b 9b
...

And then use 'lzma' to decompress, or from the unix commandline:

(
dd if="buildings.csv" bs=1 count=9
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=4
dd if="buildings.csv" bs=1 skip=9
) | lzma -dc

Then you get:
