Can you change a stock Civ's trait?

[the_bishop_987]

Hi.

Could any kind soul tell me how to change Roosevelt from Industrious-Organized to Industrious-Aggressive?

This is only for me -- I want to play as Roosevelt with these traits, so I wouldn't need to worry about changing his "personality" when he's an AI.

I'm a true beginner at modding, so be gentle.

TIA

Well you can change the traits he has by editing the CIV4LeaderheadInfos.xml file. Of course, whatever changes you do make in there will also affect that leader when the AI is controlling it.

Open that file with notepad and find this line:

<Type>LEADER_ROOSEVELT</Type>

Then scroll down to this part:

     <Traits>
				<Trait>
					<TraitType>TRAIT_EXPANSIVE</TraitType>
					<bTrait>1</bTrait>
				</Trait>
				<Trait>
					<TraitType>TRAIT_INDUSTRIOUS</TraitType>
					<bTrait>1</bTrait>
				</Trait>
	</Traits>

And change it to this:

     <Traits>
				<Trait>
					<TraitType>TRAIT_AGGRESSIVE</TraitType>
					<bTrait>1</bTrait>
				</Trait>
				<Trait>
					<TraitType>TRAIT_INDUSTRIOUS</TraitType>
					<bTrait>1</bTrait>
				</Trait>
	</Traits>

This will change the traits that you want in there instead.
