Change starting Civ difficulty assets

[numaru7]

Hi,

I never made a mod, so i don't know where to start. I just want to modify the amount of units an AI Civ gets in a certain difficulty. I do not want to change the difficulty bonuses that they get (increased production values etc).

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

The table you are looking for is MajorStartingUnits

The table you are looking for is MajorStartingUnits

The only place i found "majorstartingunits" is in Eras.xml - but that's not logical because i want to modify the assets the AI gets in certain difficulties. I then tried to look into Difficulties.xml but no such luck. Could you explain this in more details?

oh wait.. i think i found it in eras.xml. it should be this one: <Row Era="ERA_ANCIENT" Unit="UNIT_SETTLER" AiOnly="true" MinDifficulty="DIFFICULTY_EMPEROR" DifficultyDelta="0.5"/> if for example i don't want the AI over Emperor diff to get an extra settler when starting in Ancient era.

Yes, inside the <MajorStartingUnits> opening tag. The xml files are loaded into the game's embedded sqlite databases on startup. You shouldn't touch the xml in the game's install directory, instead make a mod the modify the table you want to change. It just so happens I already made a mod to do what you're looking for.
