How do you add great specialists to cities?

[pesgores]

I'm working on a scenario and I would like to add great specialists to some cities, not just give the unit to the Civ that owns the city, but rather make it as if it has already joined the city on turn 0. How do I do it?

Well, I can see these two simple ways:

1) Give the GPeople and swap players

How?

Take the ini BTS file and search for "cheatcode". It enables cheat mode. Instead of:

; Move along
CheatCode = 0

Change it to:

; Move along
CheatCode = chipotle

Don't ask the weirdness. The programmers liked chipotle a bit too much. Jon Shafer said so.

The cheat mode is the debugger mode aiding modding.
Then load your scenario and settle the concerned cities you want super specialists in and give them GPeople.
Afterwards, press the combo ALT+Z the number of times that is needed to get the AI under control; it's the command of player swapping. When getting the AI player under human rule, just settle them.
That's it.


2) The other way is scenario editting. When Click-Right the worldbuilder file, you get into edit mode through notepad (basic applet if not better found). There you find lines of what define the scenario. And already settled cities are defined, but that's a lot of work when first solution is there. And 1) is more user-friendly.

Good luck! Tell me if that works.
