Maybe is the worng place... I didn't found anywhere... anybody knows if the units made for civ4 could be used also in civ5 or we have to remake them?
I doubt it. XML, maybe, but I would hope not - any SDK mod that adds a new XML tag would instantly break the editor!
Is there a way to make the ID as part of the schema? If so, I could see it, but if not, I don't think Firaxis would take the time to make Civ5IDInfos.xml for that. Especially since Firaxis was too lazy to make Civ4FontInfos.xml so we got stuck with GameFont.tga.
I remember reading in a thread here that they said the exact same thing about civ4. That's marketing talking anyways, so we have to take it with a grain of salt.
What I really want to know is what's going on with the downloading and installation of mods from within the game shell and how much "control" Firaxis wants over distribution of mods. Will CFC be rendered obsolete?
Also, what is this "flagging" system to rate "objectionable" content all about? I really do NOT like the sound of that one bit.

It's probably just there so they can remove any mods that deserve a Ao rating....![]()
I don't need little gaggles of special interest ideologues with their agendas, telling me what's good and what's bad.

If every product had to display how much hate mail it had received on its packaging, and call it by some neutral term like "flags", would that be democracy?
That's what flagging essentially is, it's hate mail. If hate mail wants a venue, it can get one of its own and critique mods in discussion threads. I'd rather they'd simply have a
"report this" system where mods that really go over the top are reported, but unless found by the community manager to be wholly inappropriate for distribution across the civ network, do not have to bear the stamp of their critics. That let's everyone judge for themselves which, imho, is the very essence of democracy.
Free speech isn't about forcing publishers to give space to anonymous critics; it's about allowing those critics the right to publish on their own.
