Next War Mod Cleaned Up...

[LordGek]

Chiyu has done the incredible! While Next War was advertised as having a Epic Game Mod mode it was a poorly implemented mess. Snag this mod, put it in its OWN Expanded directory in the Mods folder (yes, while it fixes stuff in Next War it does not go in that directory).

- edited CIV4MainMenus.xml to get the four 'standard' main menus back.
- edited CIV4EraInfos.xml to get the default music back in the ancient, classical, medieval, renaissance, industrial and modern eras (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=231911 for more info about this "bug").
- removed Mr. Big, The Lady, The Glorious Leader and His Excellency from CIV4LeaderHeadInfos.xml.
- removed their diplomacy strings from CIV4DiplomacyInfos.xml.
- removed America Inc., The Southern Empire, Asia and Europa from CIV4CivilizationInfos.
- certain bugs regarding the buildings (that were only in Next War) fixed
- removed unnecessary sound files to reduce the file size to almost nothing

Rather than cleaning it up, would it be easier/better to extract the stuff that people want on top of the standard game (units/building/techs) and leave the other stuff behind (new leaders, bugs, vanilla/next war differences).

That's exactly what he did!

No problem, you've done a great job with this mod!

Although, as I think somebody pointed out, all Gun Powder units are missing the Drill promotions (not anything bad in your port as the drill promotions were missing for the Gun Powder units in the Next War Scenario as well). I doubt this is some sort of intentional balancing as I think the Drill promotions are needed to access many of the other promotions these units are still eligible for.
