Playing MP with different XML files

[ahmed5]

In my one of XML files I made nukes require 4 uranium instead of 1. If I play a MP game with somebody who still has it on 1, what happens? Are there any conflicts that lead to crashing of the game or other problems?

Constant resets. Or else you could change a longsword to build 1 per turn and cheat.

Yes although Civ5 doesn't have a file check like Civ4 did, if all players don;t have the modded files you will have desyncs/OOS all the time.

Does that mean that if everybody has the same changes to their XML-files it'll be playable?

In other words: Can we play a 'modded' MP game this way?
(And with modded I mean: Changes in XML-files, etc.)

I'd assume that's what he meant.

Try it and let us know

Yes from what I have seen from testing and other players reports, if everyone uses the same modified files then you should be ok. Though that assumes the mod doesn't cause any unknown issues itself
