How do you make scenarios/MODS

[Griffon]

I was wondering if i could get some people to help me. How do you make a mod or scenario for Civ3?
Is it difficult to do?
What is involved?

any help, I would be extremly grateful for.

Scenarios in the Civ 2 sense of cities already set up and such, can't be done in Civ 3.

To make a mod, you go to the editor. It's not very hard but if you want to make a lot o changes (especially consistent ones) it can be time consuming.

o.k. so if you wanted to say make a star wars mod or dune mod would it change the entire origional game if you were to create new units, tech and improvements

Unfortunately the answer is yes. While you can add unlimited units to your mod and it won't affect the standard game a bit, changing of tech tree is a different matter (unless you just change the name of the tech but use the current icons).

Changing the tech tree is a bit tricky and more bug-prone, but you can actually totally redo it.
