Combat bonus against opposing ideologies?

[Karatekid5]

For a new Civ I'm working on, I want to add a combat bonus against Civs following opposing ideologies as a part of their UA. I don't see an existing modifier for it within the game, so is it possible to do via LUA?

Firaxis' API gives no way to detect when combat begins (or ends, unless a unit is killed), so this is unfortunately impossible without a modded DLL.

Ah, alright then, I'll think of another bonus to use it its place.

Also, while testing this mod, the Civ's name isn't showing up properly. It is pointed to the correct text key and the text keys are in a working file, yet for some reason instead of the name I set, the civ's name is displayed as "1". What could be causing this? I'll attach the mod if needed.

Does the civ's name begin with "true", by any chance?

Yes it does, actually!

Then it's just a bug in the XML-to-SQL parser; moving that particular Language_en_US row to use SQL to begin with instead should solve it.

Ah, that makes sense! Though, how would I set those Text Keys via SQL instead? None of the mods I have downloaded show any examples of it.

INSERT INTO Language_en_US (Tag, Text)
VALUES ("TXT_KEY_ETC", "Trueland");

Thank you, it works perfectly now!
