Spending hours on adding units to my Civilization IV game, I’ve decided to make simple utility to help me with this laborious pastime :D

Civ4UnitAdder by kurchavy
This utility especially useful while adding 'Flavour' units to the particular civilizations (i.e. without changing attributes).

Program has simple interface allowing adding/deleting units without browsing xml files. Civ4UnitAdder simultaneously change 5 xml files (CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml, CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml, CIV4GameTextInfos_Objects.xml, CIV4FormationInfos.xml, CIV4UnitInfos.xml). So you need to have all these files in your mod!

Archieve contains detailed readme file.

To run program, you'll need .NET Framework 2.0. You can get it for free at microsoft website.

This looks very promising. I can't wait to try it out myself or hear how it works for others.

And welcome to the CFC. :)

Don't mean to seem dense but I can't load any mods with this. I can load the base Civ4, but not any Civ4 mod, no Warlords mod, and not even the Warlords base.

From the screenshots it does look totally awesome though for a timesaver.

Maybe your mods have not desired structure for this utility? Have you read readme file? The second page, about mod structure and nessesary files?
I've made this program initially for myself, as i mentioned before, but i hope to develop it in future. Sorry for any inconvenience, mate :rolleyes:

It doesn't seem to work with Warlords, but it does with vanilla Civ IV, as long as the mod's got all the files listed in the readme.

Any idea why I can load anything into this? No Mods, Warlords, BTS, or Vanilla. What I am supposed to be pointing to?
