-----Notes to Modmakers-----

If you want to use the Great Specialists Mod in your mod I have tried to
make things as easy as possible for you. In the XML files modified sections
are enclosed by:
<!-- -->
<!-- Great <Specialists> Start -->
<!-- -->
and
<!-- -->
<!-- Great <Specialists> End -->
<!-- -->
Where the <Specialists> is the great specialist: Great General Amped, Great
Doctor or Great Statesman.

In the Python files I have added #<GS START> and #<GS END> in all of the
places that I have made changes to the original files. I have also included
the Specialist Stacker Mod version of CvMainInterface.py file.

All I ask is that you give me credit.


-----Version Information-----

-----v0.2.x------

- Updated CvMainInterface.py to actually read in the INI variables for the
great statesman. This part of the code was forgotten somehow when the update
happened in the v0.9 version.

- Fixed the missing TXT_KEY_SPECIALIST_GREAT_GENERAL tag reported by Jeckle.

- Updated all python code and XML to be compatible with the v1.61 patch.

Hmm, now I have to decide if I want to use this or just the Great Specialist Mod.. decisions, decisions..

That's why I made this version of the GP Trickle Mod. I didn't want to force people to use this feature if all they want is the specialists.

I've got both downloaded now and am going to try out the GP trickle first as I like the sound of the concept, but have the trickless version in storage just incase :>

I got this mod all sliced into my mod and love it, totally. But I did notice one thing I thought I would mention. It seems that the TXT_KEY_SPECIALIST_GREAT_GENERAL is missing. Not a big deal and I already fixed it in mine, just thought I would let ya know.

And one question, any reason you put your TXT_KEYs into the different files instead of one new file?

Thanx for the mod, it was just want I was looking for.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll fix that up and upload the new version.

Hmm...

If the combat medic can only defend, isn't the chance to withdraw from combat useless? I thought it was only effective when attacking?

TheLopez,

I loaded your mod here, great mod, really want to use it. But then I added to the mix another mod and now my new specialists don't work and my city screen looks like this:



How can I fix that? As you can see, they are not stacked correctly.

Thanks.

That is kinda vague, you may want to tell what other mod you tryed to work in. But the most common problem when merging mods is you didn't merge them 100% right. I would go over both mods file for file and make sure all code blocks are copied and to the right places.

Thanks. I do not recall the mod that hosed it, and I have been over the files, and redone it 2 or 3 times. I will keep trying. Thanks for the feedback.
