Anybody know any good useful cheats for vanilia and BTS? Or iss their a mod that con do what I want

I would really like to have my paratroopers drop more than 5 squares from the city they are in, the same for guided missles.

How do I go about making my own mode? I am a beginner to intermittent programmer, but I have not done any of this sort of thing.

Also is their a No CD for the 3.03 patch I have searched and have not see one yet.

Go to Civ4/bts/assets/xml/units/unitinfo.xml and open it with notepad.

Find the entry for paratroopers (using the find function, in the "file" menu) and then change the value of iDropRange to whatever you want it.

Find the entry for the missile, and change the iAirRange value to whatever you want it.


I'm not 100% sure this is all correct..... I'm at work, so I can't check for you.

Just note the values you're going to change, so you can put them back if something goes wrong. It should be ok though.:D

Never change the original. Always make a "mod" (even if its pretty much the same thing) and then make changes to the mod. Reason you dont want to ever "mod" the original is because - if you f*** up... then your f*** up. Also, if you mess up, you can always compare the original to the altered... and hopefully figure out whats wrong.
