Hello, In my mod I decided I wanted to remove all the techs except Future Tech and start from scratch. In the CivIVTechInfos.xml file I removed all of the techs from the first <techinfo> to the last </techinfo>, except for Future Tech. When I tried to start I got a barrage of error...

Hello, I want to rewrite the tech tree. However there are so many entries for each tech; "Flavor", "TXT_KEY"... I don't know what to change and what not to. For example, let's say I want to have one of the first techs be called "Stoneworking I". This would lead to Stoneworking II and...

I want to make a unit to represent pre-settlement Gatherers. These are pre-Settlers who absorb resources directly from the plot they are standing on. Enough Food spawns a new unit which can be upgraded with Hammers. How would one do this?

What is the cost of troop maintainance? Where is the writeup of the mechanics if there is one?

Hello, I want to remove the starting techs and UUs. I did some forum searching but didn't see anything.

Hello, I'd like my games to start in 4,000,000 BCE, when humans split from chimpanzees. Clearly there will be a lot of modding involved in this, but to start, I want to simply add a turn to the beginning of the game, so it will go 4,000,000 BCE, then 4,000 BCE, then into the 4th century BCE...

I want to tweak the Earth18Civs map I got with the game to give some of the AIs more intelligent starting positions. Where is it, how do I open it without letting the AI take a turn (via Worldbuilder), and how do I save it in it's improved form?

If you could mod the stats of the Vanilla units to be more realistic, what would you change? I've already removed the Warrior City Defense bonus. I want to next emulate Warlords by giving Chariots a bonus vs Axes and possibly Swords, Archery units, and Siege units. Any ideas?

I find the stats of some of the units ridiculous and I've decided to make a personal mod that addresses this. I started by removing the Warrior City Defense bonus. I have a number of other ideas but I want to hear from others first. What should I change? EDIT - Also, how do I give Chariots...

When were shields invented? Do Warriors have shields to complement their clubs?

How do I watch the movies of the Wonders without playing a game and building the Wonders?

I put cottages on them now, but is this the best idea?

I'm going to buy a laptop for $700 to $1000 maybe from Dell, maybe not. I want to be able to run Civ IV on Huge, Marathon (or Earth 18 civs, Marathon even). I'd also like it to be able to play most current games. Any recommendations?

Hello, I'm going to be buying a notebook and I need advice. The thread's in Technical Support here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=230680 I'm not getting enough response there so I thought I'd ask here. Hope that's not against the rules.

OK. I have $700 to $1000 to spend on a notebook depending on what I can get for that extra $300. I want it to be Civ compatible. Dell and Gateway only offer Vista, which I am reading is not good for Civ IV. I also want to make sure my video card, etc are up to requirements. What should...

I am learning to mod. This thread is not about modding exactly however but rather about what stats would make the Warrior most realistic. So far I am inclined to remove the City Defense bonus. I may add a bonus against Animals, but since it's pre-Hunting I am not sure. I am not...

Is there a section for Vanilla mods? All I see are Warlords mods in the Scenarios.

Hello, I just finished reading sthurlow.com's Civilization IV Python tutorial (http://www.sthurlow.com/python/lesson01/) and I'd like to start modding my game! For instance...I want to remove Warriors' +25% City Defense bonus. I think it makes no sense. Where is the program code? How do I do...

Quick version of this post - skip to the end. I am currently in a war. I am Elizabeth on a marathon/huge/fractal map striving for a space victory because I haven't done it yet. I didn't war until too late, I think, and now that I've united my continent (hit Hatty when she had longbows and I...

What option or modification do I need to use in order for me to see all my troops in a large stack at the same time? If I have 10 Grenadiers, 8 Musketmen, 4 Longbowmen, 7 Knights, 20 obsolete units I can't afford to upgrade, a Scout with the Medic promotion, 19 Catapults, and 6 Workers in...
