EDIT: NEVERMIND! I solved the issue myself but can't delete the thread. I had a subfolder with backups of various XML-files inside the game folder and apparently the game read those XML-files as well which caused the problem. So apparently, don't keep backups of XML-files inside the game folder...

Thank you for the detailed reply! Regarding (5): I simply placed a downloaded mod in the correct mods folder (it is correct because I have a couple of other mods there that work just fine) and the game wouldn't load. I tried three times. When I removed the mod it started properly again on the...

I would like to change the minimum city distance from the current 4 tiles to 3 tiles. I've googled this but it seems everything I find is outdated or simply doesn't work. I downloaded available mods but they either don't work or the game won't even start when I add them to the mod folder. I'm...

I see, well, at least then I know what is needed. Thanks.

Hmm, well, I'd rather get rid of the icon than the unit. The icon interferes much more. Thank you however, it's a step in the right direction. Perhaps there is another change you can add to this to remove the icon, and then finally the display of their movement..?

Caravans annoy me so much. I hate having to watch 10 caravans move every turn, and having their unit icons spread out over my entire empire. They get in the way and give me a worse overview of the units that I actually care about. So, is there a mod or some kind of change you can make...

Thank you for the thorough answer.

I have tried searching for an answer but haven't found any. I would like to create a mod using nothing but notepad. I didn't think this would be a problem, but then I noticed that the .modinfo file has a line for "Mod ID" with a unique number attached, such as: <Mod...

Any chance for an option to switch one leader's traits/units to another? I sometimes prefer to play a certain civ but would like the UU/UA of another.

Oh heck yeah, it's working now! :D Thanks a bunch! I've probably bothered you enough, but if it's simple and you have the time to answer this, what would I write if I wanted to switch the unique units and/or buildings to that of another civ as well? If I manage to do this I might actually put...

Oh I was actually doing everything in notepad. I thought the lines... <OnModActivated> <UpdateDatabase>leadertraitschanges.xml</UpdateDatabase> </OnModActivated> ... would be enough. I'll look into using a mod editor instead.

It's still not working. I tried changing it to both Ghandi's trait as well as Napoleon's for the culture bonus. None of them work. :(

Thanks for the help, Evalis. I've managed to create a mod and have it showing up in the mod list, however, the mod doesn't seem to work. I added what you listed in the XML-file, but it doesn't seem to have any effect in game. I figured the easiest way to test if it's working or not was to use...

I checked a few pages back but couldn't find anything about this. Basically what I want to do is to copy a leader trait to another leader. I want to do this because I much prefer to play a specific civ, but I hate the trait it has. Thus, if I could simply copy the trait I want from another...

Thank you. I will try this. Just seems silly to have to resort to editing game files for such a simple thing.
