nm it seems to work now

nm, found the problem myself. i was using PolicyType instead of just Type :-( why is my code not working? there's no error message in the log files and my other changes within the same file work fine. but moving the LandTradeRouteGoldChange from caravans to trade unions (displayed names now...

that's working! thx alot =)

i'd like to give barracks a production modifier for land units, just like forge. i tried the following 2 things. the game loads both (the whole file gets skipped loading if there's a serious error), but neither does anything. yes, there's a <GameData> tag too, enclosing the whole file (it...

thx. i've never had any mods in the past. deleted these folders: cache, Logs, ModUserData started a new game with [1]CP and [2]CBO enabled same problem deleted these folders: cache, Logs, ModUserData started a new game with all 6 mods enabled discovered about 10 city states and none said that...

i installed this today (full automatic install, no other mods installed) and city states don't seem to work as they should. 1. when i discover a city state they tell me that i get x faith, but in fact i get that amount of influence (with them) and no faith at all 2. when i fulfilled their quest...

i really like the new system for units. it seems though, that the upkeep is somewhat problematic, or i didn't yet understand how to make enough money - or maybe you need certain socials for that. i don't know. i just know that maintaining any serious number of units doesn't seem to work. i think...

that's why i suggested something easy as first try =) so you see that it's really easy to change something. when you read the guides and do it seriously, you'll notice that's it's actually not that easy. but if you do it the other way round you might get disappointed from the start.

1. consider what you want to mod. if you just want to mod for the joy of itself, then pick something easy (like changing the costs for a tech or unit). 2. go to civ4\Assets\XML\ and try to locate the file that holds the data, that you want to mod. you can open xml files with any text editor...

i have read the modders guide by Kael here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=229557 and the sticky "BEFORE you publish or download a Mod, PLEASE READ" thread here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=138043 (and some else, but these two seem to be most important)...

the problem seemed to have disappeared inbetween. i did some more tweaking with civics and events, then i deleted my event files and used the ones i posted here again, and suddenly it was working. no clue why. maybe they didn't load at all and i didn't check. then i moved the files to a...

thx for the input, but it didn't work :-/ i tried shortening the names. if it can distinguish EVENT_SLAVE_REVOLT_1, EVENT_SLAVE_REVOLT_2 and EVENT_SLAVE_REVOLT_3 (these are existing events) it must also be able to distinguish it with 5, 6 and 7 but that didn't help. then i tried changing...

i modded the civics (directly in the CIV4CivicInfos.xml) and everything went fine. then i added some events for civics. i created a new Sonny_CIV4EventInfos.xml and Sonny_CIV4EventTriggerInfos.xml in the Modules directory and also copied the CIV4EventSchema.xml there. my events seem to work...

thx =) dance!

it's been a while since i installed and played civ4 and i don't have links to the exe's anymore. now i see there is 3 different exes that i could use to start the game. Civilization4.exe Civ4BeyondSword.exe Civ4Warlords.exe which one do i use if i want to play with both expansions? or is...
