Civilizations and Their Attributes

[Peter Principle]

I looked in C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Assets\XML\Civilizations\ at all the xml files there and I couldn't find the place that determines the characteristics of a civilization (aggressive, philosophical, etc.). Where are these characteristics located?

Look approx 1/3 of the way down in the LeaderHeadInfos file:

Awesome, thanks! I must be blind, lol.

What do the numbers represent?

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

And if I want to have a civ with more than two traits, do I just put another trait entry in there like this?

<Traits>

<Trait>
<TraitType>TRAIT_PHILOSOPHICAL</TraitType>
<bTrait>1</bTrait>
</Trait>

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

<Trait>
<TraitType>TRAIT_ORGANIZED</TraitType>
<bTrait>1</bTrait>
</Trait>

</Traits>

Yes. The numbers on the <bTrait> are booleens. That means that the trait is either on (1) or off (0). Booleens are used for on or off functions.

Awesome, thanks for the info.
