what are these

In the unit xml, what is the asset tag, and the difference between combat and power tags?

Combat is the "strength" of the unit in combat. I think the Power has to do with tallying up points for overall score.

IIRC power also is used by the AI to judge the relative strength of its opponents.

Thanks. Does the asset tag have any real purpose because I fear it will come back to bite me in the ass during game because I didn't do something right.

From here:

iAsset = How much the Unit contributes toward your score. There may be some scaling factor

Each CvPlayer has an asset (m_iAssets) and a power (m_iPower) value.

m_iAssets is the sum of the asset values that are assigned to his population, land, tech, units, and buildings.​

I can only see it used in determining when an AI Player should ask for/give a tech to a human player.​

m_iPower is the sum of the power values that are assigned to those things.​

It's used for several things:​

• it determines the power graph
  
• it determines the type of greeting that the AI player will send to you
  
• it's used to determine a team's defensive power, which is used by AI players in making various diplomatic and war decisions.

Interesting, well at least I don't have to worry about that. That asset tag seems a little esoteric, so much it looks pretty useless. I'm glad because I was worrying about it so bad.

I have another question if you may, what is the monument tag in the building class xml.
