I need help merging the dlls for the BetterAI mod and the Global Warming mod http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=11408. Is there any modpack that combines those two with BAT, preferably with minimal changes to gameplay? Sadly, my last programming experience was in highschool, so some idiot proof instructions would be appreciated.

Sadly you will need to have at least novice programming experience to do this, and I'm not an expert either... if you can get your hands on a free copy of microsoft visual basic 2005 express edition, that would be a start.
Then read up on some tutorials in the tutorials and reference section... there is a thread somewhere in there that helps to get familiar with VB05'.
Next you'll want to get WinMerge, its free... google it and you'll find it.
Get both MODS that have components you want to merge together.....
make a new mod, with a new folder.... simply copy and paste ALL the files that don't overlap.... (i.e. if one mod has the CvDLLSymbolIFaceBase.h file and the other doesn't, you dont need to merge)
Any files that both mods use, you will need to merge... this is what winmerge is for...
once you do all your editing, you'll need to load it up in VB05' and re-compile the dll...
it can be very difficult, but if you are ambitious enough, I'm sure you can do it...
If you have any more specific questions, just ask here

Really? I looked it up, but it seems to be just a way to modularize mods, but I don't see modules for either global warming or BetterAI.
In any case, it looks like me doing the merging is a little too complicated for it to be worth it. Much rather spend the time playing the game.
Thanks for the help guys.
