New to civ4 and warlords.I have had the game for awhile but keep getting the "low memory allocation" crash, so i stop playing. Now i started up again and like the mods and maps.I would like to change my leader's traits.
I'd love to be roosevelt with IND-Phi..(wounders and great people)
Also is it possible to add a thrid or fourth trait to a leader??

I'm not computer savy so youll have to be very detailed.
I've downloaded a scrptable_leader_trait
Installed it in my warlord mod folder and loaded it but Have NO idea how it works?? ANY HELP????

You can edit "CIV4LeaderHeadInfos.xml" located in the "Warlords\Assets\XML\Civilizations" folder with notepad or notepad ++ :

Be carefull , if you play without MOD , do not change the original file but put a copy of it in "C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\My documents\My Games\Warlords\CustomAssets\xml\civilizations" . the game will take in count your change .

<Traits>
<Trait>
<TraitType>TRAIT_PHILOSOPHICAL</TraitType>
<bTrait>1</bTrait>
</Trait>
<Trait>
<TraitType>TRAIT_INDUSTRIOUS</TraitType>
<bTrait>1</bTrait>
</Trait>
</Traits>



You can add or change any trait you want per leader , just following the syntax .

If you want , i've also compilated The Lopez's scriptable leader trait MOD COMP and associate it with These map scripts (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=151629) . There is description of how to use the MOD in the first post . ( If you want more details about the scripts and the MOD ... do not hesitate to ask in the "full of resources thread" )

Tcho ! :)

Hello there, Warlord2007! As Sto said, you can change the existing traits, give leaders more than two, or create entirely new traits. I've never actually created new traits, but I have heard that it's not too hard. Changing existing ones, or creating new leaders with existing traits is probably easiest if you're just starting out. Simply copy and paste a leader's info and change what you want.

You are very wise to pick the Industrious / Philosophical combination--it's extremely powerful. This is in fact why it is not in the game; it was determined by playtesting to be too powerful. But that doesn't stop us modders from doing as we like! There is, in fact, another modded leader that has this: Jefferson Davis in the CSA mod. I think there is also a mod that gives every trait to a leader, for sort of an "uber-civ". You may want to look at these as a guide for future coding.

Happy modding!

I followed the instructions for change/adding leader traits, but it doesn't show in the leader selection screen before you start a game. Is that normal? How do I know if it worked btw the trait I added was charismatic.
