Gaining Exp from Barbs!?!

[SgtCiv]

I have been away for awhile. I am completely updated with CivUP and GEM. When I played before after every update the first thing I would do was change the Exp level that could be reached from killing Barbs. I am not able to find this anymore in order to do this though. So, my question is, can anyone tell me where I need to go in order to make this change. Thanks.

It was moved to the GEMoptions.sql file. In the main mod directory.

Look for this in the file.

UPDATE Defines SET Value = 60 WHERE Name = 'BARBARIAN_MAX_XP_VALUE';

Thanks for the reply, but your answer has created another question though. Where it was located before was in an XML file, which I could use notepad to edit. So, is there some special program that is needed to edit a sql file?

Should be able to open it with notepad yes.

I use notepad++ most of the time when editing mod files, if you want a recommendation on something else.

Thanks a lot for the information you provided. Last night I was able to make the change and it worked.

Does it matter what values are assigned?

By that I mean does the value have to correspond to the next Promotion level?

Are they at 20 point steps?

 

[Thalassicus]

You can set it to any number. Each promotion cost 10 * level XP.

1 promo = 10
2 promos = 10+20
3 promos = 10+20+30
4 promos = 10+20+30+40
etc...

So if you set it to 70 experience, units could get 3 promotions plus 10 experience towards the next promotion.

Thanks Thalassicus.

One other thing, slightly off topic but related to the 'options'. I assume the 'GEM_Options.sql' would supercede the 'Civup_Options.sql'?
Curious why 'GEM_Options.sql' has options for CSD and 'Good for' when these are also in the 'Civup_Options.sql.

You can't play GEM without Civup.

 

[Thalassicus]

Gem's options file overrides the one for Civup. For example, showing "good for" stuff in the base game is useless because Firaxis' numbers follow no organized pattern. I therefore hide it for people using only Civup, but show it for users of Gem, since I organized the data in Gem.

If you don't want to limit the number of promotions you can get from barbarians, you can set the value to -1.
