Isolation Civic- Disable open borders?

[Vercingetorix85]

I'm making a simple civics mod using xml, and one of the civics is called Isolation. It cuts off foreign trade in return for making internal trade stronger. It's not like mercantilism, I hope, but anyway, I want to know if I can use xml to make it disable open borders. I'll include my new civics xml file, in case anyone is interested.

And if the answer is obvious, take pity- I'm new at this.

I dont think thats possible, not without python or something.

Welcome to the forums, Vercingetorix85 .

Thanks; I'll see if I can learn some python.

Anyone have an idea of what file I should be looking at? I'm hopelessly lost.

While i don't know personally, try asking tsentom1, he is the master of hybrid traits, buildings, promos, etc. He has made all kinds of cool stuff.

not offering an answer, but to clarify - you want:

On switch to Isolation-
all open borders with other Civs cancel, and are not possible.
Trade Routes within your own cities increase 10%(or some other arbitrary number)

Yes. That is exactly what I'm looking for.

 

[tsentom1]

Trade Routes within your own cities increase 10%(or some other arbitrary number)

Can be done simply with the <TradeYieldModifiers/> already in the civic XMLs

I think he's looking for a way to make Open Borders agreements impossible.

I'm afraid you can only do that from the DLL. So it won't be as easy as simply editing a file or two.

I know I was replying to Sarge85's suggestion "Trade Routes within your own cities increase 10%(or some other arbitrary number)" and the original aim of "making internal trade stronger"

I already pointed out in a pm how to simulate no open borders with the unitCannotMoveInto(self,argsList): into python function and no foreign trade route xml tag already in the civicinfos.
