I have editted everything I believe I need to. After suffering demoralizing failures with my unique art, I just decided to go with Augustus' picture, so that eliminates a large portion from the equation. I type in my city names, one leader (The Emperor), and everything else I can think of, but to no avail. When I load my mod and go to the single player game, I cannot even see my empire as an option. No error messages, no nothing, just the regular game. I work on the XML files until I feel sick to my stomach, and it never even shows proof that I have done anything.
