This 2DA can probably be seen as a router for other 2DA's, which want to reference data from other 2DA's, so called M2DA's. M2DA's is the mere possibility to merge any XLS worksheet (GDA) into the same 2DA internally which allows for addins. However since any new GDA has a different filename, the purpose is to route to any filename beginning with what is a Prefix, which is set in the Worksheet column. Most 2DA's are extendable like that, so this list is quiet big, and seemingly a busy route.

Other 2DA's reference to it by the ID's, while it will search for the M2DA worksheets beginning with the prefix respectivly.

Column Type Description
ID int A number that uniquely identifies the entry (unless creating an M2DA override). ID numbers are listed from smallest to highest within a given file but do not need to be consecutive.
Label string Brief description of the 2DA
Worksheet string The name of the worksheet to load in and access.
PackageIDForAI int ID of the package that this 2DA is the tactics table for.

Label string Brief description of the 2DA
Worksheet string The name of the worksheet to load in and access. This is a prefix for any Worksheet beginning with it
PackageIDForAI int ID of the package that this 2DA is the tactics table for. M2DAs that are not tactics tables should leave this as "****".


  • Note: New 2DAs should be added to M2DA_base, not to 2DA_base. 2DA_base is a legacy 2DA that is no longer used.
