I apologize for asking, but I could not find the answer in the thread.
What is:
GIR's Version with UnitAid by Zuul Added:
Download Link: Sevomod_2.3.zip w/ UnitAid
What does Unitaid do and do you recommend it? Thanks
-Ryan
Unit Aid / Stack Aid is another mod created by Zuul that is included in the Perks & Promotions Mod. It allows units & promotions that grant benefits to the any other units "stacked" with it. I had considered including a "combat engineer" at one point (saw it in another thread) that would allow attacks over rivers without penalties, for example, to any units stacked with it.
The problem with these types of units / promotions is that the AI won't use them effectively, thus unbalancing things to too great a degree.

I love your mod, but when I try to set it up to use a world map, the only civs available are the default ones. This despite the fact that I manually added the custom civs to replace the default ones. Any suggestions??
I'm not sure what you mean here: 1) What do you mean by "set it up to use a world map"? Are you creating a custom map, or just trying to play a custom game with a custom map; and 2) what do you mean by "manually added the custom civs to replace the default ones"? Details would help me figure out the problem as a few folks have explained something similar. Also, are you seeing the custom load screen when you start the game (with the "sevomod" graphic? If you're not, the mod isn't loading properly).

Sevo,
I guess you've been asked before. Any chance of Snaitf's demolition mod. It's the only thing makes sense of the 3 gorges wonder for me.

Sorry...every now and again I want to blast a building, but again, the AI will not use it effectively. One could attempt to "help" the AI by programming in some python to remove buildings given certain criteria, but that gets too messy.

Its not hard to do,, but it wouldnt be worth it. Have you played a mod with all those extra resources in addition to the normal ones? I have, the games are totally out of whack and unbalanced. You can get insanely healthy and happy places very early on and strategy in the game gets crippled. Good city management becomes a worthless skill and it ruins the game.
Exactly. I would love to add a whole ton of resources--they're fun, after all. But they do unbalance the game. Every new resource is another +health/happy for all your cities. One way to do it would be to add a reasource but limit it's use to say, the first three eras of the game, and adjust another to only the last couple of eras. It would re-balance things a bit, if you were really into adding more resources without mucking up the works too much.
The one resource I've added is the ancient temple, which presently only adds a little bit of commerce to the city that it's built in. In the end, it provides less than a fully developed town would with free labor and all that, only it provides all that commerce up front, essentially giving you a little economic boost in the early game. But I think I'm going to change the way they work...I like the idea that your civilization is "exploring" the temple and finding gold and loot at all that. So what I think I'll do is have the ancient temple as is in that your workers "explore" the temple to allow the city to work it. Once the city starts to work it you'll get like 20 turns worth of increased commerce out of the plot. At the end of the commerce period you'll get a goody-hut style boon: lump sump of gold, probably, maybe an ancient period technology, and maybe something else clever, and then the temple is "spent" and the plot becomes just an ordinary plot again. Kinda fun.
). Suppose that you want to create a new XML value? I can't think of an example of one, but suppose that a modder had a feature in mind that could implement this XML tag.
. Just curious... would you do this with a ".ini" file with flags?
