is it possible to add more techs to research?

[PC-Pete]

Greetings. I moved this from the previous forum I posted it in as it was pointed out to me it was the wrong forum. Sorry about that. I can only blame myself.

I just read a topic on the General board about adding techs from Alpha Centauri into the game. I was wondering if it is at all possible to add new techs into the game, or are the only possibilities to replace existing techs?

I don't know anything about the various programming needed to mod civ at all, but I see here on these boards that there are a few of you out there.

What I am wondering if that once you have researched all the current techs all all that is available for you to research is future tech. Would it be possible to add new techs to research before these future techs? The possible mod isn't just about adding more things to research, but also adding more units, tile improvements and such to the game once the proper tech had been researched. Maybe even add more types of resources.

Yes, it is possible to do all that you want via editing of the proper XML files.

Thanks for your replies.

I have no clue on what to do when it comes to editing xml, pearl or whatever else that needs to be tweaked to make a mod for Civ 4. This post is more of a general question if it is possible.

I've seen other mods adding new color to units, new civilizations and all kinds of things.

Exavier. I will keep an eye out for your progress.
