first scenario help

[gregpietsch]

I'm trying to make my first CIV 2 MPE scenario but I'm hitting some snags. I created a map and and figured out how to edit units and icons but I'm having trouble with the cities.txt and rules.txt files. The cities.txt file doesn't show up in my directory so I don't know how to edit it. I would like to come up with a list of city names for my
civilizations. How do I do this?

The rules.txt file is in my directory and I can edit some things in it but when I change civilization names and leader names in this they do not change when I run the game!?! If I edit unit names in the same file they change just fine. What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no city name editor so there is no way to auto generate the cities.txt. Just copy the master file from the main directory into the diretory of your scenario. Then edit it.

The names thing is a common problem. Make a copy of the master rules. txt and keep it safe. Then edit the master tules.txt to get the leader and civilization names you want. Then start a new scenario using your map. When you have got what you want, replace the master rules.txt with your safe copy.

Also have a look at the Sum Total of my Knowledge thread I've bumped up for you.

p.s. do not bother to post at the Apolyton Civ2-Scenario Creation Forum - its dead as a door knob.
