I've starting experimenting with the XML and it looks like its easy to do all kinds of cool things. There are tutorials on stuff I can figure out myself, like how to add techs and religions and civics.
But I find BuildingInfos to be missing a lot of stuff. You can change many things with it, but many of the properties of buildings are not addressed. How do change a building's cultural output for example? The BuildingInfo for the Obelisk, which should have little else going on, doesn't give a clue. Looking at full blown mods doesn't help.
Is there somewhere else to look?

MODiki - Another Great Reference Site

I find using both reference sites help with info about XML (among other things ;) )

When I get really bored I'm planning on copying all the modiki stuff over to Civ4Wiki (assuming that they say it's ok) - they were meant to merge ages ago but it never happened.
I'd have to be really bored though.

Here is part of the palace's parameters:
<YieldChanges>
<iYield>0</iYield>
<iYield>0</iYield>
<iYield>8</iYield>
</YieldChanges>
<CommerceChanges/>
<ObsoleteSafeCommerceChanges>
<iCommerce>0</iCommerce>
<iCommerce>0</iCommerce>
<iCommerce>2</iCommerce>
</ObsoleteSafeCommerceChanges>
The first part <YieldChanges> has the 3 <iYield> values. These represent how much food, labor, or gold that building produces. In this case the palace produces 8 gold.
For the second part: <ObsoleteSafeCommerceChanges> has 3 <iCommerce> Values. Those represent research, gold, and culture. So, in this case, the palace produces 2 culture. ;)
Have fun. ;)
