Unit descriptions

[Rmi]

I feel bad for being unable to program and help out with the game, so i was thinking what CAN i do?

I figured i could update unit descriptions, especially the culture units and heroes. They seldom say what they do or what is special about them and a lot are outdated.

Is there a text file where i can just write new text within the right brackets without messing up the game?

Great.
Most text files are found in: Assets\XML\Text
There are unit pedia text in many of them, but most are found in:

Units_CIV4GameText.xml
Animals_CIV4GameText.xml
Merged_CIV4GameText.xml
​

You want to edit those with header tags that ends with PEDIA, like: → TXT_KEY_UNIT_(Some name)_PEDIA

Just remember to use the square brackets "[" and "]" only for formatting styles.

Meaning: [NEWLINE] ▬ [SPACE] ▬ [TAB] ▬ [COLOR_UNIT_TEXT] ▬ [COLOR_HIGHLIGHT_TEXT] ▬ [COLOR_REVERT] ▬ etc.
