[BNW] Removing Nukes

[M0RF34S]

Hey all,

I'm looking to achieve the following things through XML:

1) I want to delete Atomic Bombs, Nuclear Missile, Bomb Shelters, and the Manhattan Project. As in: Civilopedia entry gone, not available to build (don't show up as options in city), and not show up in the tech tree. Now, I understand that the game doesn't like it when you delete stuff. Much less when you mess with the Manhattan Project. I tried executing the following, and it works, but when I try to load a game that uses this mod, it crashes hard. So my question is, what would be the optimal way to go about doing this? Is it even possible to do while keeping the game stable?

<Buildings>
<Delete Type="BUILDING_BOMB_SHELTER" />
</Buildings>

<Units>
<Delete Type="UNIT_ATOMIC_BOMB" />
</Units>

<Units>
<Delete Type="UNIT_NUCLEAR_MISSILE" />
</Units>

<Projects>
<Delete Type="PROJECT_MANHATTAN_PROJECT" />
</Projects

(I intentionally didn't mess with Classes/Flavors, for better or for worse; you tell me)

2) Change the "Jeans" dialogue/screen. I can't for the life of me find the localization/tag for it. Done!

3) If I were to create new policies/beliefs, would these automatically be added to the pool from which the AI picks? Confirmed it myself, they do get added to the pool; meaning the AI *will* pick brand-new policies/religious beliefs sometimes.

Thank you for your time.

1) (easy) Change the "Jeans" dialogue/screen. I can't for the life of me find the localization/tag for it.

It's this one:
TXT_KEY_GENERIC_INFLUENTIAL_ON_AI_1
It's in Sid Meier's Civilization V -> Assets -> DLC -> Expansion2 -> Gameplay -> XML -> Text -> en_US -> LeaderDialog -> Civ5_Dialog__GENERIC.xml

I'm monitoring this thread daily, in case anybody else is able to help with the remaining questions. Thanks.

Still checking daily

Resolved the question of whether the AI will pick player-created-from-scratch policies/beliefs; the answer is yes.

So that only leaves the question of how to effectively remove Nukes from my game as per the OP.

did you try simply removing the technology tag which enables building the Manhattan project ? not removed from the game (otherwise it crashes) but same result

While deleting (or leaving blank) the <PrereqTech> makes it so that the Manhattan Project is instead available from the start of the game, your idea was still useful in deleting the Manhattan Project's tech tree icon at least. Here's what I ended up going with, which achieves all the goals initially set:

<Resolutions>
<Delete Type="RESOLUTION_NUCLEAR_NON_PROLIFERATION" />
</Resolutions>

<Units>
<Delete Type="UNIT_ATOMIC_BOMB" />
<Delete Type="UNIT_NUCLEAR_MISSILE" />
</Units>

<UnitClasses>
<Delete Type="UNITCLASS_ATOMIC_BOMB"/>
<Delete Type="UNITCLASS_NUCLEAR_MISSILE"/>
</UnitClasses>

<DeleteMissingReferences table="Units" column="Type"/>

Feel free to comment if you see anything egregious, but as far as I'm concerned the code seems to work (and the game doesn't crash upon reloading a save).
