Dude you should add this info to the Civ4 Wiki page!

I just added 3 dozen mods or so.
Every time I see a good mod I keep the link to the thread.
I couldn't figure out how to create a page break so I just "entered" twice to make a space.
I don't know if that is what you want so remove them if you want.

This seems to be a better link:

I thought of this but decided to create a spreadsheet that searches the XML / python files for key words. Put in the word, hit the macro button and get a list of the files with that word in it.

I know this is probably the wrong thread...but I am preparing a birthday Gift for my wife - she's crazy about Civ 4 - and all I want to do is change the Name of an existing Leader (Elizabeth) and Civ Name (England) and add a special flag (one that represent my Wife's own Fantasy Civ.) and the Civ Icon - how do I do that - I have figured out the other stuff - changing city names, adding a unit to England etc. But getting my wife's Civ Name and Leader Name in there permanently (without using the existing features for that) - I guess it would be a very simple Mod - seems to escape my capacity - can someone tell me what XML files/Text Files I need to fiddle with, approximately what I need to do in them and how I get that button and flag fixed? I have been fiddling all afternoon/evening and I don't seem to get it.

Question #2: How can I create a button/icon for the Civ "Flash" Page in Civilopedia and actually get it IN-SIDE the Game?

Thanks in advance!

anyone know where all the xml stuff is? and how to get to it? :/

Under the xml folder.
Get an editor like XMLSpy or XMLMarker, ... to ease the whole process.
