<iAsset>, <iPower> and <bIgnoreIrrigation> tags in TechInfo.xml

[FatWalker]

Anyone knows what the <iAsset>, <iPower> and <bIgnoreIrrigation> lines do in the civ4techinfo.xml?

I am looking for changing the "get one extra food from farms" benefit that you get when researching Biology. I would like to get that benefit earlier (from Chemistry) and change Biology to also affect pastures and plantations. I thought that would be in the xml, but I cannot find it. I only find thus above, which I do not know what they do.

iAsset and iPower refer to AI weights, I believe these have been disgarded, or at least majorly ignored since the AI upgrades with BtS (not sure about this though). bIgnoreIrrigation allows farms to be built when not irrigated (biology).

The changes you are interested in making are handled in the improvements xml file, found in the terrain folder.

Thank You!

Actually, iAsset and iPower aren't just for AI (if they even were for AI at all); iAsset is the score increase from the tech and iPower is the increase to your power graph you get from the tech.
