Hello All,
A few days ago I decided I was going to use my newly found free time to learn how to make Civilization mods in Civ 6. I have never made Civ mods before and have little to no experience in coding so I realise I am at a distinct disadvantage. I have also set a pretty lofty goal for myself. I want to make 50 Civs, one for each state in the United States Of America. I understand that this will be very difficult and take an extremely long amount of time, even for an experienced modder, but I still want to have a go at it. I figure that if I can figure out how to do the first 2 or 3 states, I will get the hang of it and the rest will be much easier. I have been practicing with VSCODE and modbuddy while following tutorials on this forum and on youtube for the last few days. I have even written the core for a beta of the Michigan civ. I am however at a roadblock and am confused with Icons, ArtDefs, modinfo, and generally how to put all the pieces together to make the different code into a coherent mod. I am hoping that one of you might be able to help walk me through some of the basics with my code that I have written so far to help get this beta finished. I think it would be much easier for me if I could ask someone questions in realtime about how to finish the civ. Also if you cannot help with the mod coding but still want to contribute, please fill out my survey which I have created to find out how people around the country want to have their state represented in the 50 States Mod. This is the link to the survey https://forms.gle/CpZxRqxpGVEmeHMn7
