Firaxis please...

make it so that you can mod the .bic file in game. please...
Last night I was playing a game with some custom mods and:
I added a unit between tank and modern armor called 2nd gen armor. I only gave it 1 MP by accident...doh! As of now it is worthless, I just have to wait until I get modern armor.
I changed the American UU to a beefed up Marines, frogot to allow the jet fighter to be built by the US...doh! doh!
I added sabotoge production to the embassy menu, now I can't use spys at all...doh! doh! doh!
All of these things could eaisly be fixed by about 10 clicks in the editor, but I can't add them into my game, now in the modern era. So my only options are to:
Live with it and cont. the game
Restart and lose the few hours already invested in this game.

but if I could edit the .bic file to the current game, I could make the quick change and cont playing.

I agree. Being able to adjust "on the fly" was priceless for playtesting mod changes.

I agree.

My problems have been when the patches come out and invalidate the changes I have made, meaning that any games I have been playtesting for dozens of hours each are no longer playable since they need to be retweaked and the tweaking is no longer an option.

Also, bring back the multi since it enabled me to see if the AI was using the mod. I found that the AI would eventually use GL to hurry wonders this way when I allowed GL to be a buildable unit.

Yes, I agree too. Because I've added a new tank after the modern armor with a 24.20.5, but if I want to build it in a city, then it costs too much (buy: over 4000). So it needs the same time to build as a wonder.

Let me unfutz my mods in-flight, dag-nabbit!

At least there are still plenty of things left for them to fix, so you know another patch is going to come out, like when my battleships and destroyers were facing the wrong direction for bombardment, and when I couldn't upgrade any units until I got Leo's workshop.... But that one needs more exploration on my part before I whine too much about it. Now if only my games could take less than 2 weeks....
