How to give a promotion to a class or type of unit ?

[Tamerlin]

I have some questions for you solver and I promise I will stop bothering you.

I have decided to come back to the good old method : giving each unit the COMMANDO promotion.

To do so, I have modded the CIV4UnitInfos.xml and CIV4PromotionInfos.xml files and I have placed the modded files in the Custom Assets folder.

In the first file, I have added a free promotion to the description of each unit (to the exception of animal, naval and air units of course) and in the second file I have modded the COMMANDO promotion so that it can be given to siege units and civil units such as Settlers.

What is the interest of putting the modded files into the Custom Assets folder instead of creating a mod?

Secondly, do the AI players benefit from the free promotions or are they for the human player only?

Thank you for your patience.

CustomAssets is so that it loads automatically, overriding your mod setting. I do not use CustomAssets and do not recommend anyone to do that - it will, for example, screw up mods that define their own units.

And it's definitely for the AI as well as the human.
