Most frustrating things in Civ5 code

[Krajzen]

Krajzen: There are some VERY frustrating things with Civ5, but I get the impression you're making it harder on yourself.

Stop looking through the XML files, and look at the SQLite database (Civ5DebugDatabase.db). I promise, your modding experience will go from maddening to merely frustrating. There's a separate database just for text! (Localization-Merged.db)

And if you want Lua to replicate, look at the scenarios.

Lol thanks

Although I cannot forgive MUSLIM_CAVALRY, INDIAN_ELEPHANT and _VENETIAN_GALLEAS

Uhh, unfortunately when I open .db text file I get lot of 'broken letters'. And I have used both WordPad adnd Notepad++

Yes... database files, much like .mp3 or .png files, don't open normally in any kind of text editor. A simple way to know whether or not it will is to ask yourself this: Can I create this kind of file in a text editor? If the answer is no, don't even bother. That's what I do.

The problem, therefore, really is: What program do we need to open .db files? I looked it up and this apparently works: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/ Or basically, some kind of SQLite database browser.
