About Restoring Civ III capacities to Civ IV

[Nuh Uh]

The ability for a city to make wealth is now relegated to possessing a particular level of Tech. I'm working a mod, with the help of this fine community, that needs to add 'wealth' back as a production option at the game's beginning, and/or allows for a city to 'not' build with the production bar. As it stands in Civ IV, production always has to build something until the 'wealth' option manifests, and that is actually counterproductive to this particular mod.

Does anyone know how to restore this ability to Civ IV?

Thanks.
Martin

If I understand you correctly, you want cities to able to produce wealth instead of units or buildings, right from the start of the game. This requires one change in CIV4ProcessInfo.xml. Where the line currently reads:

<TechPrereq>TECH_CURRENCY</TechPrereq>

in the PROCESS_WEALTH section, change this to:

<TechPrereq>NONE</TechPrereq>

Now every civ in the game will start with the ability to 'construct' wealth.
