What will I have to add to my new civ in order to update it for G&K and BNW?
- Thread starter NSM
- Start date
I think culture yields work differently, and you gotta keep in mind that some old buildings (like granaries and workshops, with the internal trade routes) were updated with new stuff. Also relative unit strengths are different between vanilla and the expansions. Also also, the health system going from 10 to 100, if you're messing with healing.
I don't thiiink there are too many things to keep in mind besides needing spy names, as long as you didn't replace buildings with new functions or units with a different combat strength!

Well, what did G&K add to the game? Ranged naval units, religion, espionage, new civs, Great Admirals, more docile AI and an expanded modern era. Ensure that your mod does not conflict with any of these, but for just a new civ you'll most likely need to just worry about religion espionage. Along with these you'll need to include such flavors in your mod as FLAVOR_ESPIONAGE and FLAVOR_RELIGION.
Spy names, though, are really the only thing that, without it, the game will crash. Even technically flavors can be ignored; they'll be assigned to a value of 5.
And what did BNW add? Tourism and expanded CV, great works and archaeology, ideologies, diplomats, trade routes, war-despising AI, Christianity split, and the world congress. Make sure nothing conflicts with these, although, unlike G&K, here there is nothing that is necessary to avoid a crash.

Buildings are changed substantially between Vanilla and G&K/BNW. Any unique (or other) building you have that had a <Culture>xx</Culture> column within the <Buildings> table needs to have that removed and the culture added to the <Building_YieldChanges> table like so
If I recall you had this in your original attempt to make your civ for Vanilla, and you had to move it from the <Building_YieldChanges> to a direct column within the <Buildings> table. Now, to update to G&K/BNW, you get to do the exact opposite. Funs! 
Also, the structure for which buildings require other building-classes has been shuffled around a bit for G&K/BNW. Here's a listing for BNW of Buildings and their classes, with the PreReq Building Class, and which civs have a unique building within a class. G&K will be the same for the most part except I can't remember without a lot of detail-checking which were added new between G&K and BNW.
There are other changes to buildings and buildings-related tables, but as I recall from what I remember of your mod, I don't think any of them will directly affect you.
This should serve as at least part of your list of what needs to be changed. But I'm blanking-out in a brain-freeze kind of way what else besides spy names, and the differences to buildings, that you might have to adjust in a Vanilla civilization mod to make it work for G&K/BNW.
Code:
<Building_YieldChanges>
<Row>
<BuildingType>BUILDING_NEW_BUILDING</BuildingType>
<YieldType>YIELD_CULTURE</YieldType>
<Yield>xx</Yield>
</Row>
</Building_YieldChanges>Also, the structure for which buildings require other building-classes has been shuffled around a bit for G&K/BNW.

OK, so I thought I did everything right but I ran into some problems. I attached my mod.
in my database I had:
When I started the mod the select screen wouldn't let me scroll down so I had to select it under advanced settings. Also only the Hylian Soldier icon was displayed, the Temple of Time one wasn't there.
in my database I had:

and it also says I'm missing entry for HYLIAN_SOLDIER?When I started the mod the select screen wouldn't let me scroll down so I had to select it under advanced settings. Also only the Hylian Soldier icon was displayed, the Temple of Time one wasn't there.

and it also says I'm missing entry for HYLIAN_SOLDIER?Your civ still does not have any two unique components. Yes, you have created a new unit and a new building, but you haven't actually set them as a UU and UB with entries in <Civilization_UnitClassOverrides> and <Civilization_BuildingClassOverrides>, respectively.
