Okay, I was able to go into the XML files and edit the preferred religion for some civs. But where do I go to access the SQL files? How exactly can I cascade? Can you kindly show me an example of how to do this? Thanks very much.

Thank you for your kind response. But I must be daft. I didn't completely understand what you're saying. Are you saying that I can enter XML script to have the civs cascade to a second or third preferred religion. Or are you saying I can't? Is the second set of code something you wrote? If I...

Will somebody please make a mod that makes the civs prefer certain religions over others? I don't like it when France founds Islam or when Norway founds Buddhism. I know many civs have ONE preferred religion. But they only have one. And, currently a lot of civs do not even have a preferred...

I am playing the TSL Giant Earth map and need your help: 1. Some incorrect city names appear on the map. For example, I find: - A city-state named Edinburgh in the Middle East. I am playing England and already have Edinburgh. - Arabia has Bordeaux as its capital. - When Spain builds new...

I was still playing Civ 5 until recently when all of a sudden my mods got all messed up. I suspect this might have been a move by Steam to get me to buy Civ 6, but that is the paranoid side of me talking. Anyhow, I figured it's almost time to buy Civ 6. I see that it has been discounted and...

I have refused to buy Civ 6 because I know that it is full of bugs. I've played all the Civ games since the original version starting over 20 years ago. And I've noticed that the recent versions are especially buggy and full of crashes. It usually takes at least a year or two before the game is...

I am playing Civ 5 with all of the major expansions and suddenly my settlers cannot build cities on anything but grassland or plains. They cannot build on flood plains, deserts, or jungles! The same goes for the AI's settlers. I don't understand what's going on. Also in diplomacy, the AI...

I play on a real world map in BNW and leave the New World (North and South America as well as Australia and New Zealand) without any civs. Sometimes late in the game, a couple of civs might send Settlers to colonize. But only if there are luxury resources. Even though the European (and...

Every time I play a real world map in BNW, even though I have removed AI faith advantages and I build Stonehenge first, Ethiopia founds Eastern Orthodoxy first. My civ founds Protestantism. And then a civ like Russia or Spain founds Buddhism! And then the Netherlands founds Sikhism! Why...

Each civ has a preferred religion, but they seem to be totally random in secondary preferences. For example, some other civ founded Catholicism and Poland should've opted for Protestantism, Eastern Orthodoxy or even Judaism as a second choice. But instead they took Shintoism! Spain and...

What Civ do you think is the most poorly designed? In my opinion, it is the Huns. They are overpowered in the beginning with their UU, the Battery Ram. And WHY OH WHY do they have to copy names of other cities?!! This is so annoying that I never put them in my game. I am playing a...

I disconnected my laptop last week and took it on a trip, but didn't use it. Then I came back home and reconnected it and now Steam and Civ V is weird. This happened before, so I uninstalled Steam, Civ, and the Civ SDK and then re-installed them. But this time, it's still weird: 1...

All I know is that I hate the Huns civ. The battering ram is way overpowered. It disrupts the balance of the game in the early to early-mid stages. There should be an option to have random civs, but exclude certain ones. I'd like to play a game with random civs, but remove New World or...

Problems with this game: 1. Waiting for each turn can take up to 10 minutes on a Huge map with 16 civs in the late stages of the game. I noticed in my current game, it kinda gets stuck on Persia's turn for a while even though they only have a mid-sized empire and army. It only takes a few...

Please help. Or at least point me to where I can get the information I need. I really want to play my new map this weekend. Thanks.
