I know it sounds odd but is there a way to raise the max number of units you can draft from each city at one time?

Because the corrent number just isn't high enough some times.

Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Assets\XML\
GlobalDefines.xml


<Define>
<DefineName>CONSCRIPT_MIN_CITY_POPULATION</DefineName>
<iDefineIntVal>5</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>
<Define>
<DefineName>CONSCRIPT_POPULATION_PER_COST</DefineName>
<iDefineIntVal>60</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>

Change 60 to: 75 or 100, if I'm reading this correctly - will give 75|100 Hammers per POP instead of 60.
Change 5 to 4, to allow Drafting a city down to 4 instead of 5.

You should make a copy of the file, and place it into

My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\CustomAssets\XML\
GlobalDefines.xml

Make the changes there, instead of the BTS install directory.

So this will allow me to draft more than 1 unit per turn per city?

No, that would require changing .cpp files, and recompiling the DLL.

This would make it so you lose less POP per draft, since each pop would give more :hammers:
Still a limit of 1 unit per city per turn.

erm, Why would you want to cheat?

Well personally I try and keep the game as close to original as possible. Which is why I really dislike when the "unofficial" patches go into no mans land.

I try a few tweaks here and there, and usually go back to the default.
Though I do plan on working on a couple ideas this summer, enhancing gameplay. Perhaps a new type of "GameSpeed" that doesn't affect gameplay as much as Marathon does.

@OP : I really doubt anyone even in the Mod Forums would be interested in making a custom DLL to allow multiple conscripts/drafts in one turn.

Another possibility is to change the Modifier which determines the maximum number of units that can be drafted per turn (still 1 unit per city and turn though):
Go to CIV4WorldInfo.xml and increase iMaxConscriptModifier for your used map size.
For a standard map (default 25) <iMaxConscriptModifier>100</iMaxConscriptModifier> would allow you to draft from 6 cities per turn instead of 3.

Thanks for the info guys, I'm good now.
