This is a library of all the threads (well most of them any way) in this sub-forum for easy look up and easy reference. If there are any threads not posted here, then simply PM me with the URL of that thread and the category it should go under.

Once you read this, you can delete it poly.

The Inserting Units into C3C by Colonel Kraken doesn't work anymore, it links to transparency tutorial.

Anyone about diplomacy mod? Thanks!

Is there a Tutorial that would help me add Races and different style of cities? Thanks in advance

 

[polyphemus]

If you want ot change the look of your cities then ask varwnos, he created a lot of wonderful city sets that you might use. To add races, look under the "Add Civs" section here.
