Need some help

[Castor_Troy]

Hi ive got a question about the XML tags: is there a tutorial that explains what for example iMechanized is or TerrainNatives and what values can be written as i would like to learn more about these things including the newly added Bts XML tags in Civ,Unitinfo,Promotion etc. SO more precisley im looking for a tutorial or anyhting that resembles it that can give detailed info about it i used to mod XML but a year has passed since then and now i forgot almost everything.All this is for modding 1 of my fav mods as i want to make it more towards realism rather than gameplay so knowing what all those tags in unitinfo for example will come in very handy for simulating the real world conditions. Im sorry if this question has been asked before but its passed so much and i simply dont know where to search i knew there was a wiki xml that explained the old civ IV it was a good start but i lost links and everything any help would be really welcomed and apreciated!

Having jumped on the modding train about 3 months ago I was disappointed to learn there is apparently no documentation on XML tags - at least not in anything like a central location. From what I understand the wiki site has been down for quite awhile.

I've taken the trial and error approach to XML tags. That is, change the value and see how the game responds. Fortunately most saved games will load and work if only the XML value is changed. Even if the game will not load, you will have at least eliminated that setting.

So did u found out about most or the tags or some uncommon tags remain a mistery for you too.Thank you for your answer i guess i`ll have to search more around the forums to make some small pieces of the puzzle of the XML tags more clear to understand.

Honestly I don't understand what most tags mean when I open an XML file and start reading. What I eventually realized is that I didn't have to understand what every XML tag meant to do what I wanted to do. I just needed to know which files affected the job at hand. For that I did exactly what you said, searched the forums for posts and tuts on the subject and then when I got stuck on a specific question, posted that.

Yeah youre right and it seems i have found some xml tags for civ IV explained and some BTs new features also now i can make the ww2 mod even more closer to realism.
