As vincentz already told it is possible. The only drawback is that the resource becomes available for trade only, when you got animal husbandry, probably due to the <TechCityTrade> tag in CIV4BonusInfos.xml, but this is not a real problem. Thus everything seems ready for my new jungle...

Now everything seems to work as it should. Thank you all for your help. In order to avoid bonus resources that can't be exploited until the jungle can be chopped (-> replaceable parts) I banned rice from jungle and now I try to make pigs available with camps additional to pastures. Or is...

OK. It's not as easy as I thought. Current achievements: I managed to remove the negative food yield and to make camps buildable on every jungle tile, even without elephants, and providing +1 food. So far so good. Now the problems: What I want to do next is to restrict resourceless...

That's what I feared. Thanks for the warning. Thank you all for the replies. There are some good ideas that I will give a try.

Will work only on tiles not yet filled with other improvements, but is a good idea. I think, I will do that.

Much easier. Just change the PrereqTech in CIV4BuildInfos.xml for BUILD_REMOVE_JUNGLE from Iron Working to Replaceable Parts or something like that.

I don’t like that all the jungle is chopped down so early in the game. In order to preserve some or even most of the jungle until the modern age, I plan to rise the time needed to clear jungle by a factor of at least 10, maybe much more. Another method would be to change the tech needed to clear...

My sweet little private mod mainly consists of - Next War - Dale's Ranged Bombardment - Tons of additional units It works fine in single player mode. Yesterday I tried it in multiplayer mode (2 Players, hotseat) and it crashed in the early stone age without any comment why. When I...

That would mean to insert several UUs to one unit class for each civ. Can't imagine that works, but it's worth a try. Thanx again, The_J.

Idea: Insert a ‚Flagship’-unit as a national unit (1 instance), so that every civ can only build one of them. So far, so good. Potential problem: I want to make the flagship ungradeable, starting e.g. with a trireme flagship, which upgrades to a frigate flagship and later to a battleship...

Since I gave the colonist a combat value of 1 (only defense) it has the same strength as the scout. That explains why I get it as the free starting unit. Thanks for the advice. edit: It works. I reduced the movement rate of the colonist (and the settler) to 1 and got my warrior back. :)

Got some unexpected result when I added a unique unit to Portugal replacing the settler (called it 'colonist'). When starting the game as Portugal I got two colonists and no warrior as starting units. Does anyone know how to get rid of the second colonist and get back the warrior instead...

So the only traces of the generic phantom-UU will be its entry in the Civilopedia and the links in the descriptions of the real UUs and the Civilizations that use them? That would be acceptable. I'll give it a try. :thanx:

Didn't know that this works (Bloody newbie to Civ IV modding :hammer2:). Thanks for the hint. I will keep my fingers from the DLL. I'm happy I found out how to mess around with XML. But maybe some day ...

This way I would insert it as a standard unit, not a UU, but it is nevertheless only be available for India. Nice idea, but also not very elegant. :think: This was easier with Civ III.
