Editing of Great People

[El Buccerado]

Hi all, this is my first post! Releasing a new mod pack soon, very excited! Been working on it for a while now and picked up most of the learning through this site and some tutorials I've found, thanks to all. Haven't managed to find much regarding Great People editing or replacement however so hoping someone out there may be able to help. I know there are a couple of mods out there that have created a new Great People category so know it should be possible.

Instead of creating a whole new category of great people I thought it may be much easier to simply replace the current Great General category. All I would like to do is change the name from Great Generals to something else and then obviously replace the great generals with my own people with their own special abilities. Hoping someone that knows this coding well may be able to help step me through this please. Have a gist of how I may do this but thought I'd validate my ideas prior to starting with someone who is more experienced.

Thanks!
Dave.

My suggestion is to delete the current ones and then make your own, because if they have new special habilities, is very long job to update them all, simply do different ones.

You can take a look at my great explorer definition (ignore the class, because I created a new one, using the real great people mod).

Great! Thanks for the help raen. It seems may be easier to create new ones then, will take a look at your file tonight and see how it goes. Is it easy enough to rename the 'Great General' name then as well?

Yes, much easier then creating new generals.
