just a random thought but a scenario with all these civs on a north america map would be cool. Kind of like a feudal japan scenario but with native america

Actually, what you have to do is add Spanish to all the other slots that exist in the entire mod.

I don't think you do.
It's something to do with how the language XML works. It doesn't search for the tags themselves, but rather attributes them by how they're ordered. So choosing "English" just provides the text in the first entry. But I can't remember. It's been a long time since I did any proper modding.

I assured that this was the order, but I still have problems.
First= When I charge the mod, the only language possible in options is English, And I can no change the language; Theorically this would make me see the mod in english; but no, the Native empires (and others empires of DV, and the customleaderheads too) don't show, I can see its. In any case, I put the apache gametxt script xml like this:
Maybe is a tottlay Newbie error, but, well, I need to learn from somewhere >_<
(the customleaderhead xml fix to various languages... neither works for me u_U)
Maybe the problem is in other file, that designs the only language for the mod could be english? ...

Excuse me, I din't saw the new replies. What do you say is that I need to put the new language all over the mod before its works? (And when I say "all the mod" I say Native Expanded, Cuba, Hungary, Poland, etc... )
It's a lot of work it finally don't work... And the fixed customleaderheads xml don't work for me.. And I don't know if worked to anybody, nobody say it yet.
EDIT: YES, all the mod was be with all the languaje (all VD with all modules) or there is an error with all languajes. I deleted Native expansion (and Cuba) and the others modules works well (hungary, australia and poland are well)
Well, If niknaks don't optimize his module to all languajes, I will do the work, when I will have free time (not in this weeks xD
Sorry people of my newbierish, I'm still learning ^_^ Thank you all.

Hi, firstly I must say this is a great mod!
If only someone would do something similar with Vikings/Denmark Sweden and maybe Norway...!
Anyway, this might be a bit newbie-ish, but I was wondering, how do I get change the list of cities for these native civs? Not that there is anything wrong with the lists you understand, I just like to play around with them myself. I see where they are,
C-Program Files-Firaxis Games-etc...-Custom Civilizations-Apache-Apache_CIV4CivilizationInfos, but when I try and change a name (I'm using Notepad++) then save it, it says "Please check whether this file is open in another programme". What's going on here?
For that matter it does the same thing when I try to change things elsewhere (e.g. I'm trying to change the barbarian city list names (having Cherokee doesn't make much sense as a barbarian city if you are playing as the Cherokee!) or adding in more GP names).
Thanks!

If NotSoGood suggestion doesn't work, please say so, although I think it should, provided you're running as an admin (if Vista) and aren't running the mod at the time.
I'll consider a Scandinavia pack. There are certainly an array of art to use. Would you be interested in expanding the idea? Perhaps some suggestions for leaders etc.

Ah thanks so much guys! I just copy the file elsewhere, change the text there, then past it back over the original, cool.
So now I can be picky and add a city to the Sioux city list, Kathio,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kathio
Out of curiosity, where do the Sioux and Apache lists come from?
Scandinavia
This is all just a wish list and me thinking aloud really
Well I think Denmark and Sweden would be most important, then maybe Norway. Id be happy with Norway in, but of the three, Norway is the least important I would say, having generally been the poorest and weakest historically (sorry the ugliness of that sentence!). However as I say, Id be more than happy to have Norway in.
Denmark
I would have Canute as the leader
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut_the_Great#Conquest_of_England
Possibly Imperialist or Aggressive and Organised or Financial, with Christianity as his favoured religion. Im not sure about a favoured civic, I suppose being a monarch then perhaps Hereditary Rule, though that seems a tad boring
UU
I would go with the Viking Berzerker, seems a fine enough unit and the graphics are there for it. Or a Longship, this could perhaps replace the Trireme, but carry 2 units. Or it could replace the Galley and have strength 3. Or perhaps replace the Galley, and have an extra movement (providing the Danish UB doesnt give an extra movement like the Viking UB does, 2 extra moves seems a bit much to me)
UB
Denmark has rather led the way on wind power, so I would suggest Windturbine for their UB. This could replace the Coal Plant, and simply not create any pollution, or replace the Hydro Plant, but can be built anywhere, regardless of the presence of rivers.
In addition, for cities, at the end of the Danish cities there could be one or two from the Faeroes, Iceland and Greenland, all current, or former, Danish possessions, and a way of getting a little more geography/history in, e.g.
Reykjavík, Tórshavn, Akureyri, Skálholt, Godthåb
Sweden
There is already a Swedish civ,
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=146469
though Im not sure it, or any of its parts (LH, UU, etc ) are still available
Gustavus Adolphus would be my choice for leader.
Aggressive I think would be a good trait for him, alongside Organised. Christianity would be his favoured religion, and for a favourite civic probably Nationalism
UU
Carolean
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroleans
Replaces Musketman, builds 25% faster perhaps, or simply an extra strength?
UB
Possibly Riksbank, to replace the Bank. The Riksbank is the oldest central bank in the world,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_Riksbank
Im not sure what the specific advantage would be though, maybe something generic like +10% research?
The Swedish city list, at the end, could perhaps also have the Swedish names for some Finnish cities and/or some of the "viking" settlements in Russia and the Ukraine that are on the Viking city list, Konugard, Holmgard, etc... since they will have more of a connection to Sweden than Denmark or Norway.
Norway
Harald Hardrada
There is a cool LH here,
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=256628
Quite an aggressive man, so Id recommend that as a trait of his, and otherwise ? Charismatic perhaps? I think he was a pagan, so he wouldnt have a favoured religion, and favourite civic? He seems to have cracked down quite brutally on those who opposed his wars at home, so maybe Police State?
UU
Either Berzerker or Longship. Im not sure which of these would be more suitable for Norway and which for Denmark (though there are some very fine preserved Longships in Denmark, so that might swing it I guess).
UB
Same as Viking UB?
And for cities, it could include a couple from Greenland and beyond, Erik the Red was born in Norway, so perhaps after the Norwegian cities,
Brattahlid/Eystribygd, Vestribyggd, Vinland (the first two being the Old Norse for the Eastern and Western Settlements).
With these extra North Atlantic settlement names, quite a few could probably go in either the Norwegian or Danish city lists mind you.
There is an interesting thread here on the relative merits of the Vikings vs. Denmark (by a Dane I presume!)

That's a good question, and I honestly can't recall. I think one of my friends made it from a list of battles or tribe names for the Apache, or I may have borrowed it from CivGold. The Sioux one is the original Firaxis one, AFAIK.
And I reposted your suggestions in a new thread

Yes, the Sioux list is from ToT.
Sorry, I don't know what ToT stands for...
Also, I appear to be having some difficulty with city and GP names. I can see how to change they appear in the game, for example I changed the Barbarian city Bantu to Kongo
But I can't figure out how to add in extra cities (I can with NA Expanded, but nowhere else)...
Similarly with GP, I can change names, but not add any more, e.g. correct "Narak"
But again, I can't add any more, any help or ideas?
Thanks!

I'm curious as to whether anyone else is having a problem using the expansion?
I'm using the latest version of Varietas Delectat (8.0), I've installed, uninstalled, re-installed the Expanded version, even deleted the Native American civ as detailed on page 3.
But I still can't access the new civs or leaders.
Little help?

Got the mod working and i love playing with the new civs,
but the mod doesn't seem to work when i attempt to begin a game through the "custom scenario" option. None of the new civs appear when trying to start a game this way.
any suggestions?

First you have to make sure the files are in the right place. I am not sure what the file-structure is because I don't have the mod (I am making my own mod right now, so playtime has hit a snag), but it PROBABLY goes in the modules folder of VD. You should make sure to check the Civilopedia to see that the leaders are there, that's the first thing you should do.
I noticed with my modules a lot of people failed to realize that the civs will appear on the BOTTOM of the list (in the custom game/senario screen), so make sure you check that too.
