Beginner Needs a Little Help with XML Snippet

[NerdChieftain]

Hey All,

I have been reading Derek "Kael" Paxton's "Modder's Guide to Civ 5" version 1.00 and studying the game files, what not.

As all programmers should, I decided to make a very small mod and then test it.

So this mod correctly changes the start year to 6000 BC. However, I can't seem to change the turns per increment -- I have been using 1 as a test value, so on turn 2 the change in years would be different.

I feel silly, because it is probably something obvious, like having to state the UpdateDatabase on OnModActivated trigger...

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
NerdChieftain

As per the usual, as soon as I humble myself and ask for help... it occurs to me.

Every set/where pair needs an update and /update immediately before and after.

Well thanks for being here as a sounding board! I'm off to go code crazy.
