Hello all,im brand spanking new to this whole site,been a big civ fan for years but a complete noob at modding..However,thanks to BobeBrown`s epic Neoteric World ive been inspired for two nights trying to figure out all this stuff.Ive had some success with making new civs in basic form from a helpful link on this site posted by Kael ( many thanks Kael ).Ive been gaming for years ( ahem..decades lol ) but ive only just started modding at the age of 33 lol

My issue is i cant add any new civs to the Neoteric World Mod,ive opened the mod up,had a look but cant incorporate any animation Nif files,nor can i find a place to add the Civ leader Button.Im very confused guys
Adding a new leaders name to the XML is easy,but i cant see where you can add stuff like the animations,music etc?
Adding the leaders name is ok but its very basic and spoils the general fantasy enviroment of the game without a decent animation and all that good stuff.
For example,i can add a new name like Amanullah of Afganistan over the Leaderheadinfo XML of Ahmadinejad of Iran,but its still going to look like Ahmadinejad in diplomacy and have same button..basically its Iran just with a different leader name.I dont want to just over-write existing civs to incorporate my own,id like to add more selection of civs to choose from within the 50 civs limit.Can it be done within Neoteric World?
Neoteric Mod is the best ive seen for a long while and i would love to know how to add new civs to it in full without breaking the mod.If you can please point me towards the infomation i need i would be greatful( remember im a noob modder...only ever used the Kael tutorials-user friendly instructions please)...i can grasp the basic ins and outs of modding (click,paste,add file to correct area blah blah ) but cant add anything to this mod.Please can you explain how to inject new civs,leaders,buttons,animations without breaking the mod
All in all Neoteric World is a class act,the revolutions,barbarian civs...all of it is an inspired bit of programming and having the ability to add civs to it as i please would give it years of play.Its motivated me to learn the art of Modding but ive hit a brick wall with this gem of a mod
Please help us noobs navigate Neoteric World to incorporate new / rehashed civs
Thanks for a great mod
