Basicaly the title says it all.
I added around 16 new civs to my mod and put them each in their own file so better isolate any problems. I basicaly copied Kaels 'Add a Civ Tutorial'. I made sure to add them into the SQL and I did spell the names of files I refrence correctly. I also made sure to add the leader to the xml (each in their own file) and refrenced them in the SQL. To make sure the SQL is working, I have a file were I delete all the vanilla civs excepting the Mongols.
I then built the mod by going Build->Build Solution.
I loaded up Civ5 and made sure my mod was enabled, I went to 'Setup Game' and the only civ available for me to chose was the Mongols showing me that my SQL was working.

I honestly don't know what I am doing wrong. The logs tell me nothing (no errors anywhere) so I am uploading one of my civ files here. All I did for the leader file was simply do a rename of a default Civ5 leader and changed the artdef tag to refrence different art.
The only thing I could think of that might cause it to not work are the ArtStyle tags, but those are copied directly from vanilla civs.
I did make refrence to new DOM and map pic screens, but those not loading should not cause the civs not to load. When I added new screens and simply renamed the civs, what showed up was a yellow/pink box saying "[name].dds could not be found' or something along those lines.

For some reason, I can't figure out how to link to a file I already uploaded, so just follow this link to dl it:

With the patch from Firaxis there's a line in all civs you no longer need... this has not been updated in Kael's guide...

If you have this tag/line: <Civilopedia>text</Civilopedia>

Delete it from your civ

('text' is whatever text is in there)

If that doesn't work, then I'll take a proper look at your file. :)
 
I took that into account and removed it. (More accurately, never used it to begin with since I copied from the vanilla civs)
 
Any progress?
 
The civ itself looks fine... nothing jumps out at me...

All the tags look correct, nothing seems to be missing or added that shouldn't be...

Double check your spellings of files in the actions portion... make sure you've got the right path to the files your adding, make sure you're using forward slashes not back... Make sure that OnModActivated and UpdateDatabase are spelled and capitalized correctly (I typo these so often it's not funny).

Make sure that all your art references are correct... That _shouldn't_ matter, but who knows, eh?
 
Thanks. I'll check the art refrences and spelling again. I can check the leader on my own, that might be causing it.
