Hi

Just starting to understand how modding works... a general question

When first starting a mod - how does one know what to mod? For instance, this modification to base movement points

UPDATE Units SET BaseMoves=BaseMoves + 1;

Is there anything out there that would help me know that I can accomplish this by updating the 'Units' table and that the element I want to modify is 'BaseMoves'?

Or is it just a question of reviewing the base game XML files?

Hope that made some sense

Thanks!
 
It might help to read my Into to Modding with Sqlite Studio in the Modding tutorial forum. It introduces the concepts at a high level.

You technically can rife through XML files but I don't very often unless I'm totally clueless about where something is. I use a SQL tool much to look thru the database much more frequently.
