I believe you would need to mess with the PWhex file to do that. I'm not sure how that works though.

That's what I thought, and me neither!

Mr. Frag and Captain Cruft have both posted a code snippet showing which areas and slots are coded for/against Malaria. It's hard coded and can't be modded, excpet by switching the base slot - if i want to make a base malaria-free, i have to sacrifice another one and make it malaria-ridden.

But: 
// city has drained swamps 
if(gPlace[base].size>8) answer=false;
Which appears to suggest another route: make the base big enough. But what does ".size>8" refer to in this case? Fortification? Port? Airbase? Something else?

Does anyone know?

And it doesn't work.

Chuckle. Okay, I'll work out something different...

In RHS we have done that - so Baguio City is malaria free. Manila, Clark, Singapore, Palembang (non RHS), and Soerabaja are malaria free hexes. I think there is one more.
