Attached is a modification of the Civ4DiplomacyInfos.xml file. I removed all responses specific to a given leader, so they will use the generic responses. For the first contact I had to create generic responses, which I made from the most generic sounding of all the greetings (specifically, the first contact texts of Roosevelt, Bismarck, Cyrus, Tokugawa, Mansa Musa and Kubai Khan).

This would be useful if you are creating a mod that removes some (or all) of the included leaders. This saves you the trouble of going through and removing leader responses for any leaders you remove. Of course all responses will be generic now, so that's the trade-off.

Edit: I used the file from johny smith's very useful Stripped Mod as a base.

Oh man, bad timing. I actually did this some time ago, but I only just now put it in the database.

quick question tho, since i did that, most of my added LH when you first talk to them it says like TXT_QUOTE etc etc, if i put this in , would that fix the problem? does it like make all the first contacts for every LH random?

Yes, it will fix that problem and yes it will make all the first contacts random -- whether new leaderheads or the old ones. Everyone will use one of the following first contacts:

Greetings! I am [OUR_NAME] of the [OUR_EMPIRE]. I hope that our two great peoples can live together in peace.

[OUR_CIV_SHORT] the great and its superior people greet you. I, [OUR_NAME], desire peace with all my neighbors - even with your puny culture.

Greetings, oh wise ruler of the [CT_CIV_ADJ] peoples! [OUR_CIV_SHORT] is strong - shall we count you among our friends, or among our enemies?

Welcome, [CT_NAME]! May your empire flourish and grow for as long as it remains useful to us! I mean that sincerely.

Welcome, [CT_NAME]. I, [OUR_NAME], humble ruler of [OUR_CIV_SHORT], offer my hand to you in friendship.

The mighty [OUR_EMPIRE] greets you. Let us work together to achieve the total destruction of our foes, and only THEN betray and rend each other like the rabid dogs we truly are!
 
Updated Aug 14, 2011 at 15:30 GMT. Added more first responses. The first time I only pulled from vanilla; this time I pulled from the expansions as well, again sticking with the most generic-sounding ones (no references to peace pipes, big noses, temples running with blood, gender, rubber balls, "intimate" encounters, etc.).
 
I know this is from a while back but it's great. Would you have any objections to me using this in my mod?
