In which file are they programmed?
I want to modify the prizes, thier probabilities, how many of them there are...

For the probabilities, it's like Kael said above, in the file /Assets/xml/gameinfo/CIV4HandicapInfo.xml, there are 20 <GoodyType> fields for each difficulty level to set the probability and result of the tribal village. I don't know if you must have 20 of them, or can put more or less, I didn't try it.

For the prizes, it's in the file: /Assets/xml/gameinfo/CIV4GoodyInfo.xml , it defines the prizes to be used in CIV4HandicapInfo.xml file


For the position and number of tribal village, it is done in map generation, here is below a very basic example (to be added in the file /publicMaps/continent.py, for example), on how it is done:


def addGoodies():
gc = CyGlobalContext()
map = CyMap()
dice = gc.getGame().getMapRand()

iW = map.getGridWidth()
iH = map.getGridHeight()
idGoodie=gc.getInfoTypeForString("IMPROVEMENT_GOODY_HUT")
idOcean=gc.getInfoTypeForString("TERRAIN_OCEAN")
idCoast=gc.getInfoTypeForString("TERRAIN_COAST")


iNumPlots=iW*iH
iNumGoodies=iNumPlots/150

for x in range(iNumGoodies):
validPos=0
while validPos==0:
posX=dice.get(iW, "Continents.py - addGoodies")
posY=dice.get(iH, "Continents.py - addGoodies")
plotTerrainType=map.plot(posX,posY).getTerrainType ()
if not map.plot(posX,posY).isPeak() and plotTerrainType!=idOcean and plotTerrainType!=idCoast:
map.plot(posX,posY).setImprovementType(idGoodie)
validPos=1


return None


The code above can lead to "groups" of tribal villages next to each other, that's because of a lattice effect in the PRN generator used. There are many ways to avoid this, but as I said, it's just a basic example.

I hope it helps ;-)

For the technologies that you may get you have to look in CIV4TechInfos.xml, each technology in the file will have one line:

<bGoodyTech>0</bGoodyTech>

Changing the 0 to a 1 (or a 1 to a 0) will control whether or not that tech can be found in a goody hut. 1 means it can, 0 means it can't.

Thank all of you, specially Cappella.

What does iGoldRand1 and iGoldRand2 mean? (in goody info)

Duu... its the range of the randoly selected gold goody, I belive its rolling 2 random number and adding the result to produce a roughly bell curve distribution.
