Custom Civs not displaying after DLC?

Hello there,

I'm a long time modder on many games, but I've begun my first steps itno Civ 5 (however I did mod Civ 4 a lot.) I'm attempting to add a new Civ to the game.

I looked at some tutorials (Keal's mostly) and created my Civ, just to step one, before art files etc. As basic as it could be in-game.

However upon loading the mod I see no new civilization in the game. At first I thought I'd done this wrong, perhaps a screw up with mod buddy (still getting used to that) but I tried loading other people's 'new civ' mods just to see, and none of them work.

I already had the 'Queen of the Iceni' mod on there, from as early as it was out, just to see what someone had managed to do early on, that doesn't work now, it did before, I think today, though I haven't checked it since the 'big patch' came out a few days ago. So I downloaded some newer ones, the Dutch v7 and the Spanish v7 but neither work either.

The mods show up as mods, and they load, but no new Civ is present in the list of Civs, only the Monguls at the bottom of the list, the new DLC guys.

Am I doing something wrong or has this DLC broken 'new civ' mods? I would like other people to confirm/rebuke this thought ASAP please, so that I may go on either troubleshooting, or just proceeding as normal, can't ell whether it is just me or everyone.

Thanks for your help in advance.
 
The .62 patch eliminated some unused tags from the xml. When following Kael's guide, in the part when you are adding your civ, don't use the <Civilizations> tag. The mods you downloaded that don't work have this tag in them.
 
I'm soo sorry! I apologize guys! You need the civilization tag! I always seem to get those two mixed up :cry:
 
Thanks guys that helped a ton!

Cheers
