I did a XML and I can activate the mod. In the properties the Action of the mod is correct, but later this doesn't work when I play. The mod I have made only changes the strenght of some units in the expansion Gods & Kings. The XML contains the next:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

I don't know if this needs SQL; anyway that I don't know how to works SQL.
 
There is a missing </Update> after
Code: 
			<Where Type="UNIT_NUCLEAR_SUBMARINE"/>
			<Set Combat="55"/>
 
You can't have two <Set> tags in the same <Update>, use <Set Combat="80" RangedCombat="100"/> instead.

Also, these things are reported in the xml.log file, so you need to enable logging (in config.ini LogginEnabled=1 (or some such)) and then check the database.log, xml.log and lua.log files for errors as you make changes to / develop you mods
 
I change the Set, and the same issue continues. Maybe the problem is in the properties :/

No log file in Civ5 includes the error message "the same issue continues", so enable logging and post what is really being reported in the logs. And/Or, zip up the built mod and attach it, as it could be any number of errors in the .modinfo file, etc

The LoggingEnabled was in 1, and I have errors indicated by Database.log:

The ones in blue are "standard", the ones in red are not. If they relate to your mod, start there. If not, zip up your mod and attach it.

They are not related with my mod. On the other hand, the unique expansion I don't have is the Korean civ; May it be the cause of these errors?
 
Probably not. I just have all the DLC so have never seen those particular errors before.

Just zip up the mod and attach it - easier for us to disect it directly than keep guessing

OK,

First - the sub-directory should be called "Changes in Combat for Gods and Kings (v 1)" (but I suspect that "error" is a result of the zip process and not a real one)

Second - the ChangesInCombat.xml modifies the database so must not be listed as an InGameUIAddin (but I'm guessing that was a "in frustration try anything/everything to see if it will work" - and anyway it does no harm in this particular instance)

So what is the problem? Kept me guessing for some time!

It would appear that the XML parser Firaxis use is stuck in the dark-ages. Your ChangesInCombat.xml file is UTF-16 encoded, and Civ5 wants them UTF-8 encoded.

Not sure how you did this in ModBuddy, but if you open the ChangesInCombat.xml file in Notepad, change the "utf-16" attribute at the top to "utf-8" and then do a SaveAs UTF-8 format (from the bottom drop-down in the Notepad Save As dialog") your mod will then work.

You might have managed to change something in ModBuddy to default to UTF-16, if so you'll need to change it back

Thanks (YEEEEEES YEEEES IT WORKS ALELUYA!!!!!), it works correctly :D
