(Sorry about the title I accidentally hit Enter instead of spacebar while typing

From past experiences debugging my own stupidity, *most* of my problems seem to come from missing/misspelled game text defines (lol). I modded casually in Civ 5 yet I *still* don't comprehend the difference between "text" and "config text" and which are absolutely essential to define for a custom civ.
I like to build a single custom civilization and test and tweak different combos of unique traits/buildings/improvements/units/etc for it to try and make it as fun to play as I can while maintaining a decent balance. So I oftentimes have a working build that disappears from the game after changing a unique item, and when I figure out that my problem was a mistake in my "text" or "config text" files, it seemingly makes no sense to me why the text became relevant for one thing but not the other.
ALSO!!: Before Modbuddy released, I copied .modinfo templates and edited as needed. Now that Modbuddy is out, how does that change? In Civ 5 I remember having to do that whole "UpdateDatabase - Buildings.xml..... UpdateDatabase - Units.xml.... etc" thing. Is that necessary again and is it the same process?
My civ adds a "custom" unit, building, and improvement. Hopefully I explained this problem adequately, I'm a little tired as I typed this. Thanks for any help!
