Edit XML file or Create alternate file
As loathe as I am to start a new thread, I've not really noticed this one here... though I may need to look a bit further.
My question is thus... I am not looking to add units or create new civs... what I want to do it to edit the XML info files to tweak the names of people and places. I have already done some of this successfully. My concern is that these files may be replaced in future patches. I don't want to have to re-edit them. Would it be better to make a copy of the file, edit the copy and then stash it into one of the Mod folders? Which mod folder would work best for that, and would I need to rename the file once it is in that folder? If this has been answered elsewhere, please aim me to it. Thanks.

I just use my custom assests directory for my version of the game and then the mod folder within for any additional solo mods like Fall from Heaven

Would those files be replacing the original, or being used in addition to the original? Or does that depend on what is in the XML code?
