Noticed a few minor historical inaccuracies in the civilopedia.
So I fixed them. Note: This mod may not fix every possible mistake. These are merely the mistakes I found. This mod should be compatible with all versions of Civ 4. The reason why it is compatible with all versions is because none of the corrections made so far involve content in the Expansion Packs. This may change in the future and if it does I will notify you.This mod was lost when Civfanatics was hacked a while ago and I did not upload it again for quite a while afterwards. However it is available now. Mod updated from version 1.2 to version 1.3. The only difference in this version is that the previously made changes have had their text refined. Any comments on the changes and on the sources used to back them up is appreciated. Any suggestions for further historical error corrections is also appreciated
. Feel free to add this to any other mod. If you do add it to another mod it would be nice if you gave me credit , but I really don't care too much either way.
