Doubling Starting Units

[tchristensen]

In my new mod I noticed it is doubling in most cases, and sometimes just adding units, to the starting set of units.

I know you can control the "free" starting units from CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml but there must be another location that it is pulling the information from because I am getting odd results.

Perhaps their is some sort of modification to the starting FreeUnitClasses based on map or handicap (but I cannot find any reference to this).

Help!

			<FreeUnitClasses>
				<FreeUnitClass>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_SETTLER</UnitClassType>
					<iFreeUnits>1</iFreeUnits>
				</FreeUnitClass>
				<FreeUnitClass>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_WORKER</UnitClassType>
					<iFreeUnits>1</iFreeUnits>
				</FreeUnitClass>
				<FreeUnitClass>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_EXPLORER</UnitClassType>
					<iFreeUnits>1</iFreeUnits>
				</FreeUnitClass>
			</FreeUnitClasses>

thanks. I also found this in the CIV4EraInfos.XML:

			<iStartingUnitMultiplier>2</iStartingUnitMultiplier>
			<iStartingDefenseUnits>2</iStartingDefenseUnits>
			<iStartingWorkerUnits>2</iStartingWorkerUnits>
			<iStartingExploreUnits>2</iStartingExploreUnits>

This game has a penchant to have three or more controls doing the same thing. Jeesh!

Oh, didn't know that there's also anything in eraInfos, that's new to me, and explains some weirdness which i had at the beginning.

More places to adjust -> more freedom for the modder.

if you have RevDCM youll also get an extra free unit when starting as minor. I believe it was in a config file.
