First of all, an apology if this is a duplicate thread, I did search to see if this was asked elsewhere, but with the expanse of the forums I'm not sure my results were accurate.
Anyway, I'm just getting in to mods now; I'm not using that many, mostly minor fixes (faster airplane animation!) and new Civilizations. So far, no real compatibility issues (I had to not use one I was thinking about because a mod I wanted more didn't play well with it, but no great loss), but I have a couple of questions.
1. I know that any mod civ with a 3d leaderscreen needs to replace another civ, but sometimes people make a mod that says "This civ replaces X civ." even if it doesn't use the 3d leaderscreen. (I think I'm using the right terminology here for the leaderscreen thing? Not sure?) This often seems to be because its the same or similar country at a different time; ie Lenin instead of Catherine, or Churchill instead of Elizabeth. IS there a way to (perhaps if I edit the mod file?) to re-enable those? I mean, I don't personally care if Stalin's USSR goes up against Catherine's Russia. Its all in fun anyway.
2. Somewhat related to the above, if I can get two such civs to play against each other, would the city lists still work? I guess what I'm saying is if two civs had Moscow as part of their civilization, can there be 2 Moscows in the game? Or does that break something?
Thanks in advance.
