It's a massive document so it may take a while to load. I would highly recommend you save it local.
Moderator Action: ATTENTION, this guide is not anymore up to date, many parts are outdated. Not all is outdated, many things are still worthwile to read, but not everything. So if you have problems following the guide, then this might not be because you don't see the problem, but because this part might just be wrong now. If you encounter problems within this guide, then please create a thread in the main modding forum to ask for help.

If the Modder's Guide is helpful to you please think about providing a little documentation of your own. Start a thread here and document the process you figured out to make something cool happen. The temptation is to keep our cool little tricks to ourselves, so that our mods are more unique, this is a mistake. The mods we can make alone are time consuming and limited. The mods we can create together are incredible.
Have Fun!

My PM box flowth over. There are lots of great people trying to create mods right now and I know you may be stuck and want help (trust me I feel your pain, imagine when Dale and I were first doing it and trying to teach ourselves). But I can't keep up with the requests. I do want to help, which is why I spent so much time writing this guide.
But I would recommend rather than PMing me that you post your questions publically in the Civ5 - Creation & Customization forum. Chances are other people are wondering what you are, and that someone will be able to answer a lot faster than I can.
