Adding multiple civs

[Zubenelgenubi]

Hey! Is there anybody out there?!

Is there a way to add more than one custom civ at a time? I've DLed Canada, Galactic Empire and Galactic Republic but can only play them one at a time. I'd like to have all three in the same game...

You can, and there are two ways to go about this:

1. Learn XML, add the civilizations into each xml manually

or

2. Find a modular civ, create a custom mod, then the Assets folder in your custom mod, create a foldier called "modules" then inside that "Custom Civilizations".

Thanks for the reply.
I tried the second way, but it doesn't seem to work. Using the .ini file from the Canada civ mod, I copied it and renamed it, then placed all the civ folders (Canada, Galactic Empire, Galactic Republic) in the directory you mention. The mod comes up, but when I try to play it, the civs don't show up on the list, even though I put the correct tree in the mod. Maybe my .ini file is wrong?.
This is the tree:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods

The three individual civs work fine, but not when I try to put them together in an "Extra Civs" mod.

I hope you can continue to help, but if not, thanks anyway!

Ini files have an option, Modular Loading must be enabled for modules to load.
