BUG FIX! Fixed the alternate directory bug!
OK, this began life as a little app I was throwing together to help me create new civilizations for a mod. But as I got rolling, I decided it might actually be good enough to release, so here it is, version 0.1!
What it does so far:
Known Shortcomings and Bugs:
What it WILL do in future versions:
What it MAY do in future versions:
For the technically inclined, I wrote the app in C# 2.0, since I just got my hands on the final version, and this seemed like a good teaching project.
PLEASE NOTE: Because this is written in a .NET 2.0 language, most of you will need to download and install the .NET 2.0 framework. You can find it here.
Please let me know what you think, I would love for this to continue to grow.
Edited to update feature list with things I forgot the first time around.

What it does so far:
- Creates new mod folders
- Updates the ini file in the root of mod folders
- Allows you to create new civilizations and delete existing ones
- Allows you to edit all civ properties located in the CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml file
- Allows you to edit color and text data from the other relevant XML files
- Enforces good practices by not modifying any of the root files
- Stores location of Civ 4 files in a config file so you can change it if you didn't install it to the normal folder
Known Shortcomings and Bugs:
- Does not work on any of the non-English languages in the text files
- Does not edit one or two sections of the civ XML because I could not find samples of how they needed to be structured
- Does not allow you to prevent a civ from building certain units
What it WILL do in future versions:
- Allow you to edit Leaderheads
What it MAY do in future versions:
- Include a graphic viewer so you can more easily select graphics
- Include an audio player so you can more easily select audio
- Allow you to edit other sections of the XML
