chrusion, thanks that worked. Looking back, I see it's also specified in the OP - so I feel rather thick now... 
Thanks, that worked great. It also worked for VisualStudio.NET 2002 also. I have better help in that one, then Visual C++ Express 2005. But still it probably will be somewhat different. The templates are different. I got error messages in VisualStudio.NET 2002 because it was trying to read some before they were (to that program) declared, or perhaps only out of order in declaring those type defines, or else it is just different for VS.NET 2003, I guess.
Guess have to use help with the online MSDN Library, whereever the 2003 version is.

The first post of this thread has ultimately proven so helpful (beyond my expectations in terms of what the SDK can do) that I feel compelled to throw another random "thank you for this Kael and DaveMcW" out there. We now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion.

see post #181 and #182
Ah ya, DarkonSB (sorry if I have the name wrong but I can not see the previous replies while posting.)
Okay, you get that lnk 1181 error I think by trying to do too much with the compiler and linker. Sid, Soren and crew were using a LAN probably type set up with a control file program.
In other words, if using CodeBlocks, make sure it is on the Final_Release version only. If you try the Debug version, it will probably put out an Error.
It will state that there is not enough file to put out the Debug Version, and for some reason that is about in the Final_Release Version also. But if using CodeBlocks, there is also the Options for Setting the Compiler before the Build of the file also in that menu part of the program. If only Setting the Compiler and Linker like in the first post, make sure -- that whenever you get up - how the compiler and linker should act, that also in the Build menu Item Drop-down list -- the compiler settings there also reflect it being the Final_Release version.
I have tried several different versions to Compile the file (like Linker Settings) just to see how large the file will turn out to be -- usually in the Optimize settings stuff like O2 vs. O1 or Ox or something one I got use to it.
It will always happen because the "Debug" whatever causes that, I think if I remember correctly.
There is only enough room to build - no Debug -- so make sure the "Final_Release" is purely the "Final_Release" without any of the Debug stuff. Check out anyplace you can set the Compiler by Codeblocks, and make sure all the various places look the same. Also use some the other settings that were mentioned in one post -- like /WindowsSubsystem -- although it is not an *.exe program -- and /OPT:REF and /OPT: _____ whatever the other one is. One will say at the end that --- all References to Kernel32.dll are disregarded in the Build at the end before it goes and makes the CvGameCoreDLL.dll and if not, then you probably will get that error.
At first I got it too, along with others, the more you work with checking out the Menus with CodeBlocks, you will see that other places in that IDE also can reflect how the Build of the file will go. It should not be necessary, but lets say that -- you are only doing one Project - that Project - so what are the Build Options for that single Project -- vs. just setting the Compiler with the post 1 Compiler Settings like it does.
So it either has to do with the "Debug" part or just making sure that for this Project - the Project is also set with the correct Compiler and Linker Options just as the General Usage Compiler and Linker Settings. They should not be different and interfere, but not making sure that it is the "Final_Release" version stated before Building the file - will produce that Error.

Great thread! Started working on SDK over the weekend and was blown away by the true mod-dabilty/modibility of it all. Been a lond while since I worked on C++ though. oh well, back ta the books!
The SDK gets installed when you install Warlords. For me it got installed to:
C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Warlords\CvGameCoreDLL
C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Warlords\CvGameCoreDLL

Does anyone which source file(s) handle civics and religions?

For civics, its mostly in CvPlayer, but things like war weariness reduction are in CvCity. Religion is in CvPlayer for things like state religion, CvCity for religious effects and spreading, CvUnit for missionaries (or at least part of them). There's also a bit of each in CvGame.

Well if it helps, if you want to add extra tags into the CivicsInfo XML file, then you will require 2 cvinfos files (C++ source and C/C++ header) and the cyinfointerface (c++) file.

I got wierd error when compiled Warlords source code
CvGameTextMgr.cpp(1484) : error C2002: invalid wide-character constant
And the line was pointed out:
szString += L"{}~\\ßÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞŸßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþÿ¿¡«»°ŠŒŽšœž™©®€£¢”‘“…’";
Compilation progress was terminated.
What to do about it?

I just deleted the line, and it compiles and works well so far..
But how might it affect the game?
