You can create a new sub base... or rather change the base a floatilla is assigned to.

The base codes, (751, 749, etc etc) are defined in the en_menu.txt (if i remember correctly) . This file is key to alot of things, as it assigns the ID numbers that many of the supporting game files use.

Do a search in the file and look for the sub base. You should find a section that looks like (not exact, just an example)

749 = keil
750 = toulon
etc etc

So if you want to change a base all you do is
- assign the base a number (you can use an unused number, as theres room for more bases)
- Edit your foatilla.cfg to reflect the base number you want for whatever floatilla.
- open the campaign.lnd layer in wordpad and search for your base , write down its lat and long
- edit your flotialla .cfg to relfect the lat/long start position

Thats about it.

you can for example, make the 12 float start at Penang, or perhaps even the 1st or 7th out of La Rochelle.

The only thing that i think is hardcoded to some degree is the number of flotialls, while you can change and create bases all you want, i dont think you can create additional flotillas.
