Adding great people?

[elder abuser]

Hello,

I was wondering on how I would add some of my favorite artists to the Great People list. Nothing would bring greater joy to see Freddie Mercury being born in Rome.

Thanks much in advance!

In Civ4UnitInfos.xml, find the entries for the Great Artist (at the bottom of the file) and look for this:

<UniqueNames>
		<UniqueName>TXT_KEY_GREAT_PERSON_HOMER</UniqueName>
		<UniqueName>TXT_KEY_GREAT_PERSON_THESPIS</UniqueName>
		<UniqueName>TXT_KEY_GREAT_PERSON_LING_LUN</UniqueName>
		<UniqueName>TXT_KEY_GREAT_PERSON_WANG_XIZHI</UniqueName>
		<UniqueName>TXT_KEY_GREAT_PERSON_VALMIKI</UniqueName>
		<UniqueName>TXT_KEY_GREAT_PERSON_VIRGIL</UniqueName>
		<UniqueName>TXT_KEY_GREAT_PERSON_KALIDAS</UniqueName>
		<UniqueName>TXT_KEY_GREAT_PERSON_LI_PO</UniqueName>

etc...

Then, at the bottom of this list, just before </UniqueNames>, add in another entry, for example:

<UniqueName>Freddy Mercury</UniqueName>

Save it to a mod folder, load the mod and voila!
