So I have doing experiment with messing around some XML files, mainly about completely reshape one civilization (in this case Morocco) in a brand new, which is kinda overpowered but that's part of the experiment actually (so You don't have to remind me, that such civilization won't be good for multiplayer, and to some people's taste probably also not for single player - but that's all beside the point).
So stright to the point, this civilizations of mine was working perfectly fine, but some thing I wanted to add to it turn out to not working (like faith yield modifiers in some special buildings) - so I come up with some other features I could add to it, but now - even though it seems to me that I fixed everything it still doesn't working. I mean ingame everything seems to be fine at least at the start, but log.file still include some errors namely:
Code: 
[42892.568] Invalid Reference on Leader_Traits.TraitType - "TRAIT_DRAGON_ANGELS_GIFTS" does not exist in Traits

"Dragon Angels gifts" is the name of this civilization trait, defined in "CIV5Civilizations_Expansion2", so that are namely all traits included in that file. But as I checked it myself (a few times, four at least) and with online XML checker I can't find any errors. XML.log file didn't seem to point to anything usefull i just find there messege
Code: 
 Missing Entry for UNIT_BARBARIAN_HORSEMAN
but it seems to me that it couldn't be connected and if that's a problem its completely separate

And that's the entire content of said file
Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Anyone know what could go wrong or where to look for source of that errors?
 
Leader_Traits is a different table in the DB with columns LeaderType and TraitType.
It looks like you have not added the entry here. Try adding:
Code: 
   <Leader_Traits>
        <Row>
            <LeaderType>PUT_YOUR_LEADER_HERE</LeaderType>
            <TraitType>TRAIT_DRAGON_ANGELS_GIFTS</TraitType>
        </Row>
    </Leader_Traits>

I didn't change anything in Leader's xml file since it lastly worked fine but I checked it anyway... and I already have this lines. I also try to validate the XML and everything looks perfectly fine... also notice that the error was in Leader_Traits, but it said ``"TRAIT_DRAGON_ANGELS_GIFTS" does not exist in Traits``
So problem (which i say again affect all BNW leaders) has to be caused by something else... I just wish I could know where...

  1. You need to make sure error logging is enabled. See this tutorial: whoward69's enable error logging tutorial
  2. You need to look in Database.log once error logging has been enabled and not in XML.log
  3. You've induced a syntax error, which is causing the entire file to be rejected by the game:
    • Table <Traits> has no column called "TradeRouteSeaDistanceModifier". This column is only valid in table <Buildings>. You cannot borrow columns from one table and jam them into a different table. Databases do not work that way.
This sort of mistake is why it is better to make a mod rather than to edit the game's original files. William Howard created a pre-packaged mod called something like My Civ5 Changes in which you could drop your XML or SQL code, but I cant' seem to find the link at the moment. It would likely be in the ModComponents or Modpacks subforums.
 
This message is completely accurate
Code: 
[42892.568] Invalid Reference on Leader_Traits.TraitType - "TRAIT_DRAGON_ANGELS_GIFTS" does not exist in Traits
It is telling you that in table <Leader_Traits> a non-existant TraitType is being referenced -- and that "TRAIT_DRAGON_ANGELS_GIFTS" does not exist in table <Traits>. It does not matter what appears in the text of the Traits file: it only matters for Invalid Reference errors what successfully is being added to the game's database. And the syntax error mentioned in my previous post is not allowing anything from file CIV5Traits_Expansion2.xml to successfully be added to the game's database.
