Hello to all of you,

I am trying to modify somethings in my game but I do not really know how to do it. This is what I am using:

Game: Civ Warlords 2.08
MOD: Amra v 210
Map: Earth 18 Civs Warlords

My questions:

1) How to add civs to this map?
2) How to chnage the leaderheads for this map?
3) How to modify the Flags for the civs on this map?
4) Amra has dedicted units to be unique for civs, but I woul like to change this, how and where can I modify this?

thanks a lot for any kind of help / support

I am not great at doing this, but I believe you need to create a random map with all the civs you want to use. Then save it and close. Then find it, and the earth 18 map, and open them both with wordpad or similar program. You will want to keep all the information of the leaders from your random map, delete all the information about map, and then copy all the information about the map in the earth 18 and paste it after the leader info.

For the leaderheads and flags you will find something like this in the wbsave file for each civ.

BeginPlayer
Team=0
LeaderType=LEADER_HATSHEPSUT
LeaderName=Hatshepsut
CivDesc=Egyptian Empire
CivShortDesc=Egypt
CivAdjective=Egyptian
FlagDecal=Art/Interface/TeamColor/FlagDECAL_EyeOfRa.dds
WhiteFlag=0
CivType=CIVILIZATION_EGYPT
Color=PLAYERCOLOR_YELLOW
ArtStyle=ARTSTYLE_MIDDLE_EAST
PlayableCiv=1
MinorNationStatus=0
StartingGold=0
StartingX=69, StartingY=37
StateReligion=

CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_GOVERNMENT, Civic=CIVIC_DESPOTISM
CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_LEGAL, Civic=CIVIC_BARBARISM
CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_LABOR, Civic=CIVIC_TRIBALISM
CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_ECONOMY, Civic=CIVIC_DECENTRALIZATION
CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_RELIGION, Civic=CIVIC_PAGANISM
Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE
EndPlayer

Change this; LeaderType=LEADER_HATSHEPSUT to LeaderType=LEADER_ANYLEADER

and Flags from FlagDecal=Art/Interface/TeamColor/FlagDECAL_EyeOfRa.dds to FlagDecal=Art/Interface/TeamColor/FlagDECAL_ANYFLAG.dds

In both cases you may need to check game files to see the exact leaderhead or flag tags you will need. For example you could want Asoka. Just change the LeaderType to; LeaderType=LEADER_ASOKA in the wbsave. Just make sure it exist and your spelling it correct. Same with flags. In my example the actual flag name is FlagDECAL_ANYFLAG.dds Located in the Art/Interface/TeamColor/ of my mod.

You may also want to change any civ descriptions, colors or whatever, you can do that if you'd like.

Oh and you will need to do some more to get the civs in the correct start locations. Either copy it from old or do it in world builder.

And remember to Save As... so you dont overwrite your maps. Again I'm no expert but I think all of this (or at least most of it) will work.

The the unique units you will have to edit the xml.

Hope that helps :)
