I even used this configuration to see if it would make the correct associations, and the mod kicked out the xml entirely when I did. <Update> <Where TechType="TECH_THE_WHEEL" /> <Set PrereqTech="TECH_ANIMAL_HUSBANDRY" Set PrereqTech="TECH_ARCHERY" /> </Update> This didn't work, either...

I started out small. I merely exchanged the roles of Archery and Animal Husbandry, just to see if the changes will take effect. Here is the xml file contents: <GameData> <!-- TODO: Insert table creation example here. --> <!-- TODO: Insert table data example here.--> <!-- Enter your...

Apparently, not so baby simple. I was getting this odd error when I started a game that for some reason I could see the starting location of a computer opponent way across the map from me. I think ModBuddy did something to my core installed files, for I never encountered this before I started...

PLEA FOR HELP I am doing something very basic to not cause my mod changes to load or take effect. I have read Kael's modders' guide. I have read the various postings from the likes of whoward69 and LeeS and others so I get a sense of what is easily accomplished. I modded CivIII, so I am not a...

As a [c3c] modder, I would upload my mods, even incomplete ones, so long as they were playable and didn't crash, but I certainly uploaded portions of a mod project, on the offchance that someone else would find them useful. If I added a Priest specialist to my mod (a mod that made all the...

Yes, but has anyone taken the time to convert BE units to CiV and then upload them to the database? There are so many modders doing so much great work, but I'm not seeing "unit packs" or groups of uploaded units. Do you suppose it's territorialism or merely unfinished business? For example...

And having a founded "religion" be called one thing, yet feature seemingly unrelated traits, such as a Lord of the Harvest able to build pre-industrial units with Faith (pointing to a war god of some sort), just realize that there is a historical precedent for that. The Vikings glorified...

And based on my earlier posting, a city may be wholly given to one set belief or it may feature many, depending on missionary actions and trade routes. A given city may be the Holy City for Chthonicism, but also have War Cult of Soldiers, Fertility Festivities, and Sea Worship also present. A...

Someone elsewhere on this forum mentioned founding a religion might be sacrilegious (I think Islam or something). It's just a game, true, but why have the mythological people found named religions? Why should the Aesir follow the tenets of Shinto or the Tuatha de Danaan expouse the one true...

Yes, I know how to use the Search function. I'm bringing attention to the fact that the database for unit downloads does not have a Future Era category. I considered whether I'd find steampunk-style units in the Fantasy category, and maybe "giant death robots" in the Modern category, but...

I'm not certain how much I have retained (and where) but I'll attempt to upload what I have. I didn't expect the move to another server to do as much widespread damage as it did, and I would've been motivated to add my files to the database had I known all attachments were going to be deleted...

I see your point, H.T. Perhaps what you are shooting for is a great person style of unit in the spirit of the merchant of Venice who can only be acquired on a continent away from where the Spanish start that has the War Canoes promotion and graphically changes to an armed galleon when he...

Thank you, LeeS. That clarifies things even more. I'll make those edits when I get around to creating a mod, but I'm too timid to attempt to make new classes, so I'll stick with either renaming the existing ones or just editing each class. I fear if I try to get fancy and create new unit...

Thanks for the helpful information about combat classes, guys. Now, one thing that wasn't quite covered was if you were to create a new class, then how would the program know which promotions to give it? This question, of course, is about creating a new class completely out of whole cloth. If...

Well, Ajsieg, I don't know what your city list is for in detail (time period, historicity, etc) to know if I should agree with you on this, but if it's any consolation our languages are full of mistranslations and misrepresentations of original names. Just to name a few, Nippon somehow became...
