Some Questions

[Gilgamesch]

Hey all, i have some questions (like the Title says).
So in the units.xml file is this:

<Column name="SpreadReligion" type="boolean" default="false"/>
<Column name="IsReligious" type="boolean" default="false"/>

Anybody know what it does?

Also i was asking me, if it would possible to create a unit (spy)who can cross enemy borders?
And if it would be possible to make the unit invisibly. I think i read something about it in the forums but iam not sure if it works, and who.
Any help is welcome

With regards to the first part of your post, Civ 5 has a lot of tags in tables that don't do anything in the current game. Whether this is a result of porting over the CIv 4 engine as a starting point or features that never got finished is hard to tell. Others on this forum might know more!

With regards to second part, it could possibly be done in a similar manner to submarines and destroyers so a good point to start would be to check out how the subs and destroyers work (relationship) and then try replicating or tweaking these tags for a new spy and spy-catcher unit (as example).

Thanks for reply.
Yeah maybe this little things on the first part will come in the expansion. I hope so.
So digging the unit.xml, mean you this?
<MoveRate>SUB</MoveRate>
You mean this could work on land? I will try it tomorrow.

Invisibility is a promotion, while the ability to enter rival territory is an attribute of the unit

Thanks for clearing this, i saw the promotions in some mods, but disabled. Hopefully it will work to make a spy, will try it next day .
Have to search the quotes, and the i will see if its working.

Great it works. The ability to cross enemy land is this.
<RivalTerritory>true</RivalTerritory>

So i created a new promotion (Spy1,Spy2,Spy3) and its working fine.
I tried the same with <Invisible>true</Invisible>, and <HiddenNationality>true</HiddenNationality> but thats didnt work. Maybe i have to use the sub tag for invisibly.

<MoveRate>SUB</MoveRate> just controls how the animations appear
