First time modder attempting to create a new CIV

[AgentJ]

Perhaps creating a new civilization wasn't the best way to jump into modding, but sure enough that is what I tried. My attempt to create a Cascadian civ seemed to be going well, even appearing in the mods list in the game. But when I tried to access my new country in game, it was nowhere to be seen. i have supplied some of my XML below. If you would be so kind as to take a quick look, and see if there is anything obviously wrong, I would be grateful. As will likely become clear, I took most of it from the Kael Modders Guide.

I have never added in a civ but I do see some things that may be causing issues. In spots that you use things like

<Type>CIVILIZATION_Cascadia</Type>

or

<CivilizationType>CIVILIZATION_Cascadia</CivilizationType>
<LeaderheadType>LEADER_Washington</LeaderheadType>

try doing

<Type>CIVILIZATION_CASCADIA</Type>

and

<CivilizationType>CIVILIZATION_CASCADIA</CivilizationType>
<LeaderheadType>LEADER_WASHINGTON</LeaderheadType>

Xml tends to like things that are referenced to be in all caps. There are more instances but I'm sure you get the idea. I don't know if this is the reason why things aren't working but that's just what I noticed at a glance. One of the experts here will be able to help more thoroughly. Good luck

Thanks for the reply. I went through and capitalized everything (except for the file names for the dawn and map files) but no dice.

Update: It appears that it does show up in game, as I started a match as someone else and ran into my created civilization. But I didn't set it to "no" as a playable unit, so any reason why I wouldn't be able to select them?
