For my custom civ I'm trying to model its ability on partly on Assyria's. Assyria's trait in the XML files says:
Which is odd, because the free tech from conquering a city has 2 conditions: 1) civ must be more technologically advanced 2) can only happen once per civ. Evidently TechFromCityConquer is a misleading nomer. Now what I want to do is make it so that my civ gets a free social policy from conquering a city, without any of those conditions (for now). Himbal's trait tutorial in the Tutorials and References thread has a custom ability made through LUA, and every mod I've downloaded also has the civ ability in LUA. Presumably vanilla Civ5 does the same. Yet the only LUA files I find seem to only be for the game UI; where do I look for the civ abilities?
