I need some help with traits.

[Zoythrus]

How would I go about creating new traits for some new civs I'm making? When I say "new," I mean "I need a new trait that none of the other civs have." I have no problem working with LUA or SQL, if that's needed.

here's some examples of what I'm needing:
+15% science with DOF's (like Sweden's UA, but with science)
+10% science if not at war
+25% duration of "We Love The King Day"'s


also, how can I create new promotions?

Hey, I'm sorry to bump this, but my mod can go nowhere until I get some answers. Can anyone out there help me out?

The traits you're looking to do can't be done, as far as I know. All that can be done with Traits can be found in the Traits.xml file. You can take additional benefits from the buildings.xml if you attributed them to the Palace, but otherwise you're out of luck until the other modding tools are avalible. As for creating new promotions, you can just copy any existing promotion in the Promotions.xml and edit according to what you want - a list of what you can have is at the beginning of the xml file.

Well, that sucks. You would think that Firaxis would have given modders the ability to create new traits. Do you know if any sort of modding tools are in the works?

It seems probable that we will get DLL access in the next patch or so, since in the last patch they made it possible for the DLL to be switched by mods.

well, then, I guess that I'll just have to wait.
