Indeed! Thank you, worked like a charm.

Hi folks I am trying to allow farms on desert terrain - assuming of course the player has Biology, so doesn't need a water source. I have made the change in CIV4ImprovementInfos.xml: <TerrainMakesValid> <TerrainType>TERRAIN_DESERT</TerrainType> <bMakesValid>1</bMakesValid>...

Hi Tholis, thanks for your long mail. Have been using the same workaround, I still find it irritating. I was trying to include the zombie unit into Next War, thought it would be cool to have a cheap unit available with Biological Warfare ... made the changes, then when I loaded, BTS crashed...

HA! Found the problem. Nothing wrong with the XML. It's stupid VISTA! Protects all files under Progamme Files from any amendments. Once I copied the file out to anotyher folder, made the changes I wanted and copied it back to replace the unitsinfo file in Next War, it worked perfectly!

Thanks for that. Didn't make a difference, sadly. Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks for that. Yes, those two units are present. Have not changed those from the Next War mod, so that shouldn't be an issue.I have reached the stage of the game when I can get an Assault Mech by building it, so definitely it's OK, but the upgrade option isn't working.

Hi! I'm trying to mod Next War to allow my Modern Armor to upgrade to Assault Mechs and Dreadnoughts when they become available. Made the change in Unitsinfo.xml, as below: <UnitClassUpgrades> <UnitClassUpgrade> <UnitClassUpgradeType>UNITCLASS_ASSAULT_MECH</UnitClassUpgradeType>...

Hi! I'm trying to mod my game to allow my Modern Armor to upgrade to Assault Mechs and Dreadnoughts when they become available. Made the change in Unitsinfo.xml, as below: <UnitClassUpgrades> <UnitClassUpgrade> <UnitClassUpgradeType>UNITCLASS_ASSAULT_MECH</UnitClassUpgradeType>...

Hi guys! Long time Civ player, returning to the fold after nearly two years. Here's one simple partial solution to the air power issue. Give all air units the Blitz promotion, and give aircraft 2 MPs, and jets 3MPs (or more). A couple of fighters flying multiple missiions will force the defende...

4 th sevrd soul and Maverick667, don't know why you have errors loading. As this scenario makes no changes to any code files (it's purely a Warlords saved game), I can't figure it. Anyone any ideas? Finesse186, very interesting! So I see FDR was unable to persuade the isolationists in...

Finesse186, not stupid at all. I think officially you can only play scenarioes that were designed for a particular mod. MaxRiga's has several, including a couple of WW2 ones I think. Compability cannot be guaranteed with other scenarioes. You're welcome to try, if you load MaxRiga mod first...

Guys, this looks like what BtS is going to be like, check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_IV:_Beyond_the_Sword

Hey, check this out! Some of our wishes have been granted! http://pc.ign.com:80/articles/791/791168p1.html

Hey mate! Here's the version I've created, of course it's not "official" as trinder's not "signed off" on it. He asked me to make the changes I thought made sense in terms of game balance, so this version, you will see that, plus some minor tweaks to terrain and diplomacy. Enjoy!

Dear Maverick667 Are you using the latest version, the one that I have dubbed WorldatWar? If so, yes, your Panzers are really precious. You only have 12 of them, down from 15, and you cannot make anymore until you get oil. I'm not planning on changing the scenario any further until after...

Yo Maverick667 Oil in Romania, yes, the Ploesti oilfields. But this alone wasn't enough for the German war machine, and by 1943-44, it was bombed to a trickle. So for the purposes of gameplay, Germany has got to go get oil. Hence Hitler's drive to the Caucasus in 1942. One transport is...

To everyone who has posted thus far: Thank you for very much for all your ideas and comments! I've PM'd the Firaxis guy who chimed in, and he assures me they are getting ideas from this thread from and the forum in general. I notice his email is listed on the Firaxis site as customer support...

Yakk, actually I do have a unitclass jet fighter and another for airplane, so it's not made up, I believe it may have came from the Air Forces mod. Yes, you were clear. I've tried different values using unitcombat, with no results. Nonetheless I will try again as obviously I am missing...

ww2commander, it is without question that family comes first. That's your priority. But don't abandon the mod either. Leave it alone for a month or three, then come back if you have to, but come back. And congrats on becoming a daddy!

Haha, damn youngsters is right. I grew up on that series! Martin Landau rocks - more now than he did then I reckon. He was a character in the X-Files movie last I saw 'em.
