Hello, this is my first post on the Civ Fanatics forums. I'm really excited to try modding this awesome game, and I'm hoping you all can help me with a few questions!
The first test project I'm working on is adding a new unit to the game. For this test project my unit was called a "Healer" and was a functional copy of the Medic. I just wanted to see how easy or hard it was to add a unit.
What I found is that on the back-end side it was all really easy... I can get the Healer to show up on production menus and unlock at the correct technologies, etc. And when I actually produce a Healer it behaves exactly the way it should! Which is frankly more than I expected from my first hour of modding...
However, I can't seem to figure out anything related to the art assets. Specifically, these are my current problems:
1. In the production menu, the tooltip for Healer displays the same as a Monument.
2. Once the unit has been produced and is roaming around the world, it has the tooltip of a settler - that flag.
3. The unit has the appearance of a warrior.
4. On the technology screen, the tooltip for the Healer is blank.
If anyone could point me in the direction of resolving one or all of these problems I would be much appreciative Thanks!
