Where is XML for air bomb missions?

[Kip Beagle]

Does anyone know where to go in the XML files to change the chance of success for air bomb missions?

Actually, is there a list of all the XML codes anywhere (I know it would be enormous, but if there's a list somewhere, that'd be fantabulous!)?

Happy new year!

What do you exactly mean?
The success depends on the strength of the bomber and the defending unit (...and promotions, etc).
You could change the bomber-strenght (iAircombat in Civ4unitinfos.xml),the chance of collateral damage (oh, it's already 100 [icollateraldamage in civ4unitinfos.xml]), the maximum collateral damage (bombers are limited to 50%, you could change it (icollateraldamagelimit in Civ4unitinfos.xml), the maximum of units, which are effected by the collateral damage (5 for the bomber, see icollateraldamagemaxunits, the same file), or the bomb-rate for the culture garrison (ibombrate, same file).

And i think, there's no complete list of .xml-codes here (but i don't know).
It's also not necessary, because the most things are self-explanatory.
I can say that , i haven't thought about bombers until this moment, i've only looked into the unitinfos.xml .


And a happy new year .

Well, there's no defending unit in air bomb. Air bomb is the option that lets you reduce city defence or destroy a tile improvement.

The reason I'm asking is because I'm playing the game with a mod (wolfrevolution) and the air bomb option isn't working properly. It only lets you reduce city defences but it never destroys tile improvements. So I was hoping to find out where to look for it in xml so I can see if there's something screwy.

Also, the xml codes are somewhat self-explanatory, but there are some really confusing ones in there too. For example, what does <iFeatureProductionPercent>100</iFeatureProductionPercent> in the gamespeedinfo.xml mean? (I don't actually care what it means, but it's a good example of a non self-explanatory xml code I think)

But thanks The_J for responding so fast!

Okay, i've never played civ in englisch, i'm sorry for the missunderstanding .

Okay, for the improvements, it could be the iAirbombDefense-tag in the assets\xml\terrain\civ4improvementinfos.xml. Higher values=less success (i think so).
For the buildings...i don't know. You could give all buildings a positive iAirModifier (in the assets\xml\buildings\civ4buildingsinfos.xml), maybe.

I don't know, what iFeatureProductionPercent is, but if you change the other values in the gamespeedinfo, just change it too .

It's a random number based on iBombRate (modified by the number of hitpoints the bomber has) compared to a random number based on iAirBombDefense. If the first is greater than or equal to the second, the improvement is destroyed.

EDIT: So by increasing iBombRate, you should see greater success. I haven't even looked at iAirBombDefense, so I don't know what values those are...

Hmmm... the CIV4ImprovementInfos.xml doesn't seem to have been changed by the modder, as I don't see it in the mod's asset directory. So I'm assuming the mod is simply using the default game's improvementinfos.xml file. Since the tile bombing works for me on unmodded games, I don't think that can be the issue.

Weird. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Thanks again though!
