Wha is the best tutorial for making my own modular civ?

[Bahmo]

Just what the title says. I've made Custom ones for Warlords, but now I want to learn how to make modular Civs? Any good tuts you can recommend?

I don't know of any, imo your best bet is to simply take a look at an already existing modular civ and do the same thing.

Basically there is next to no difference between the modular and a non-modular civ. The main difference is that rather than adding your definition to CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml, you create a new file just for your civ (e.g. <MyCiv>_Byzantium_CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml). The same is true for all other files which go with the civ (e.g. units, buildings, leaderheads). You do one file per civ / buidling / leader.

Can civics & religions also be loaded modularly? I love the idea of not having to copy and edit the original files. This approach seems so much cleaner
