Question from a new guy

[Apathy]

Hey everyone, new to the community here & I have a simple question that I hope you can help me out with.

Is it possible to take the units like Assault Tech, ogre, etc from the mods such as "Age of Ice" & use them in a "single player-custom game"? I've searched Google & this site for a direct answer but with no luck(probably not wording it right), & I've also checked out some modding threads here but for me it's like looking into the human brain.

I don't play online at all, I just like to mess around with single player every once in a while & the same old units are getting kind of boring. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you just want a regular mod, similar to, for example, next war if you start a regular game. The answer would then be yes. There are planty of user-created mods here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=171
and here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=215. Just click on a thread.

If you're asking how to add units to the game, this is an excellent tutorial. This is how I first started modding CIV, and learned how to read XML. It's very easy, no prior knowledge required, except a basic understanding of computers, like what files and folders are, and the ability to read english and do math at the elementary level:

I also not recomend using the custom assests method described, instead, create your own proper mod for the changes.
