How do you edit victory conditions?

[XenoOGear]

I dled a world map but the victory conditions arent to my taste. is there any way you can edit them? I tried editing using world builder but coudlnt find the option. All i wanna do is remove the time limit victory condition

Yes - open up notepad and browse to the map you want to modify.

Open the file in notepad, and do ctrl-f. Search for victory. There should be a list of all the conditions there. Take out or add any that you desire then save and it should be ok.

If you want to make a new version of the file go to saveas, type <filename>.Civ4WorlderBuilderSave (where <filename> = new name of file).

You can find more info about worldbuilder files here.

Enjoy

Bezurn,

Can this approach also be taken for single player, random map games? I miss being able to set the max number of cities to fall before losing, a feature that was in Civ3 conquests.

Yep, thats easy. Here's how.

Start single player game. ESC to worldbuilder. Save the map to something descriptive. Alt-tab (or exit), open up notepad and browse to...

...My Documents\My Games\Sid Meirer's Civilization IV\Saves\Worldbuilder\

You should see your saved game here now. Right click and go to open with - select notepad.

Now look for BeginGame tag (should be top of file). about 2/3 through the list of parameters you'll see

MaxCityElimination=0 (or some other number).

Edit that, then save. Reload civ4, go to singleplayer / play secanrio. Pick your file and you're set.

Enjoy
