1.39B Modding core changes not showing in game

from Elemental Forums

After download 1.39B I've been trying to recreate a couple of small changes I had in 1.30, that I had to make to the core files to get them in game. The first was an increase in max army size through the ElementalDefs file and the second is a doubling of the number of caravans that Kingdom cities can support. However, after making my change for whatever reason they're not appearing in game and I can't for the life of me figure out way. In 1.30 you would merely need to delete data.zip file and the game would recreate it at the start of the game and the changes would reappear on their own, but that's happening now. Could someone PLEASE help me out?

You can't use coremods with beta clients, a new datablob is downloaded every time you start the game.

You can try starting the game with the additional -localdataonly in the shortcut, though I believe it was disabled some time ago.

Keep in mind that the datablob you get while playing beta versions, aren't always the same as the xml you have in your install folder. So doing something like this may cause unforeseen issues.
