I need help with my Mod. Changes don't take effect ingame.

Hello dear Civfanactics,

I created my first Mod with Modbuddy. My goal was to nerf the ActionCharges of the Hero Units.
So I added an XML file to my Mod and did the following:

Spoiler :

<GameInfo>
<Units_MODE>
<Update>
<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_ANANSI"/>
<Set>
<ActionCharges>4</ActionCharges>
</Set>
<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_ARTHUR"/>
<Set>
<ActionCharges>3</ActionCharges>
</Set>
<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_BEOWULF"/>
<Set>
<ActionCharges>4</ActionCharges>
</Set>
<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_HERCULES"/>
<Set>
<ActionCharges>3</ActionCharges>
</Set>
<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_HIMIKO"/>
<Set>
<ActionCharges>3</ActionCharges>
</Set>
<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_OYA"/>
<Set>
<ActionCharges>4</ActionCharges>
</Set>
<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_MAUI"/>
<Set>
<ActionCharges>2</ActionCharges>
</Set>
<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_SINBAD"/>
<Set>
<ActionCharges>4</ActionCharges>
</Set>
</Update>
</Units_MODE>
</GameInfo>

After that I added the XML to the "In-Game Actions" to update the Database, built the Mod and tested it. It showed up correctly In-Game but the changes didnt take effect. What did I forgot/wrong? Can anybody help me?

Cheers and thank you very much

Incorrect XML formatting.

Proper XML structure for Multiple Updates within the same table:

<GameInfo>
	<Units_MODE>
		<Update>
			<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_ANANSI"/>
			<Set>
				<ActionCharges>4</ActionCharges>
			</Set>
		</Update>
		<Update>
			<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_ARTHUR"/>
			<Set>
				<ActionCharges>3</ActionCharges>
			</Set>
		</Update>
		<Update>
			<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_BEOWULF"/>
			<Set>
				<ActionCharges>4</ActionCharges>
			</Set>
		</Update>
		<Update>
			<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_HERCULES"/>
			<Set>
				<ActionCharges>3</ActionCharges>
			</Set>
		</Update>
		<Update>
			<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_HIMIKO"/>
			<Set>
				<ActionCharges>3</ActionCharges>
			</Set>
		</Update>
		<Update>
			<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_OYA"/>
			<Set>
				<ActionCharges>4</ActionCharges>
			</Set>
		</Update>
		<Update>
			<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_MAUI"/>
			<Set>
				<ActionCharges>2</ActionCharges>
			</Set>
		</Update>
		<Update>
			<Where UnitType="UNIT_HERO_SINBAD"/>
			<Set>
				<ActionCharges>4</ActionCharges>
			</Set>
		</Update>
	</Units_MODE>
</GameInfo>

File database.log at

C:\Users\UserName\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Logs

would have reported a syntax error for the code you attempted.

You may also need to add a LoadOrder setting to your InGame UpdateDatabase action to ensure the code loads into the game after the data for the Heroes Mode is added. See the section on LoadOrders, Dependancies, etc, in the linked tutorial at the top of my user sig.

Thank you very much. It worked
Now another question: I want a unit to cost 15 Iron and 10 Niter. How do I write this in SQL? F.e. the Mechanized Infantry.

Thanks!
