Q: How to turn off settler building?

[saint1979]

I want to make a map in World Builder and then i want to turn off the possiblity to build settlers (for everyone). Can i do that in the save file with notepad or do i have do something else to make it work?

Is there any special program for this kinda modding that i should read about? Or do anyone want to help me out directy with the file?
Thx in advance.

From Civ4UnitInfos.xml, set this for UNITCLASS_SETTLER:

<PrereqTech>NONE</PrereqTech> to

<PrereqTech>TECH_FUTURE_TECH</PrereqTech>.

I think it can be done in other ways, but this is easy enough.

Found it. thx.
But... i cant change something in the save file to make it work?
I kinda would like to share the save file later with ppl and want to make it as smooth as possible.

No, I'm pretty sure it would have to be a mod.

BTW - I'd cheange the <iCost> value to -1 instead of changing the PrereqTech it's alot neater.

I always forget the neater approach! Thanks TGA.

Yeah that will work but you can also change the <iFound>1 to <iFound>0

This way they cannot build cities.

Most likely that the AI will keep building them, waisting resources and time, without being able to actually use them.

Good point... I hadn't thought of that... seems odd that the AI would build a useless unit.
