Ok, how would I easily combine a bunch of python and XML files for tsentom's custom traits? I've heard of winmerge, I assume it's free and safe, but there seem to be many places to download it, which is the correct one?

 

[God-Emperor]

Via the place that makes it: WinMerge.org. (The download link there actually gets it from the SourceForge project, so you could go directly there too.)

 

[SamSniped]

(Slightly off topic) Is there any good Python/XML merging tool for Macs?

 

[Radio Noer]

Well, here is the first "version" of the mod, with the Union mostly fleshed out. I'm just debating whether of not to keep the dummy tech unlocks or just UU/UB like usual.

Enjoy, my goal is to get Confederates tomorrow.

 

[Radio Noer]

Here is the most recent version with the Confederates added

 

[Radio Noer]

Industrialists and Inventors/Scientists should be coming tomorrow!

 

[Radio Noer]

Well, only industrialists, I didn't like the Grain Silo as a UB for the inventors nor a "cheap ICBM" as a UU. Any suggestions? Planned leaders are Orville Wright, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Cyrus McCormick, Samuel Colt, Samuel Morse, Benjamin Franklinm Thomas Edison, and Alexander Graham Bell (even though he wasn't American, I'm not so sure if I'll include him).

 

[Radio Noer]

Here's the outline for Inventors/Scientists

Orville Wright (Sci, Exp (in a sense he "expanded" into the air, could be changed))
J. Robert Oppenheimer (Pasifist, Phi)
Cyrus McCormick (Agr, Ind)
Samuel Colt (Ind, Sci)
Samuel Morse (Cre, Fin)
Benjamin Franklin (Cha, Nationalistic)
Thomas Edison (Agg, Fin)
Alexander Graham Bell (maybe, he's not really American though)

UUs:
Early Airplane (maybe renamed to Kitty Hawk): Airship, greater stength
Peacemaker: Cavalry, 2 more base strength (couldn't think of something else with revolvers)
I need one more UU then, any suggestions?

UBs:
Telegraph Lines: Broadcast Tower (may need changing) +1 trade route
Edison's Laboratory: Laboratory, no unhealthiness, +10% gold
Still need another UB, I was thinking a grain silo, but nobody here invented it, and it really isn't connected to any leader.

So if you have suggestions, help would be appreciated

Download link added, still need help though.

anything specific in need help with?

 

[Radio Noer]

Well, UU and UB help would be good, and I'm going to need custom art (which I hope to learn how to do soon) it shouldn't be too difficult, I just have a bit of modder's block.

not good at art, its alot harder then it looks trust me

Yeah, I didn't think it would be easy. Any ideas for the inventor UU or UB though?

 

[dacubz145]

ub: some thpe of inventing lab?
uu: no idea, ik theres some cars out there maybe that represents the invention of the automobile

Automobile is a UU for the industrialists (because of Henry Ford). And I believe I have Edison's Laboratory for a UB for the inventors.

 

[Radio Noer]

Got over my modder's block . I should be able to get done with Inventors and either Educators or Religious Leaders out soon.

Also, thanks for 25 downloads on my not-anywwhere-close-to-being-done mod .

 

[Radio Noer]

The Inventors were added, 9 leaders, 3 units and three buildings in all . Download in the database.

 

[Jwitti]

May I suggest some Religious leaders?
Elizabeth Ann Seton (1st saint from America)
Joseph Smith (Mormonism founder)

Do you want contemporary/fictional/legendary people too?

I was actually going to add those people .

I'm trying to stay pretty realistic with leaders, but are you suggesting people like John Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, etc? Because I might include that. If it's a character in literature I could include them in the UU/UB section for writers.
