Creating A Civ

[[Shane Hodgson]]

How do I create a unique civilization, such as the Polish or something, to incorporate into Civ3Gold, in addition to the original 24? Is there a way?

[Inverse Icarus]

there is an editor installed by civ itself, and it's shortcuts should be in the program group.

All I have to do is specify the new civ in the editor and set all the attributes...and I'll be able to use it?

I dunno how C3:Gold is. I'm assuming it is nothing more than a pack of C3+PtW, and doesn't change any shortcuts, interface, or anythign

Start Menu
Programs > Infogrames > Civ3 Play the World > Civ3XEditor > Civ3XEdit

Scenario > Custom Rules
Rules > Edit > Civilizations...

Then, add as you wish

Save it as somethign like "civwithpolish.bix" then open that scenario the next time you play.

You CAN save it to the original game (civ3x.bix), but I HIGHLY recommend against that and also MAKE SURE you back up that file if you change it.

If I save it to the civ3x.bix file, will the new civilization show up when I click on the New Game button, instead of loading the same scenario with the same map every time?

[mrmitchell]

Yes, AFAIK.

BUT BEFORE YOU DO, back up the original copy of civ3x.bix.

[[Shane Hodgson]]

I'll be sure of that. And, if I do screw it up, I can always re-install Civ3Gold.

Also, when I ran my created civilization in the scenario, and zoomed in on one of my cities, I was able to create world leaders as units. How do I disable this?

Shane,

Check-out the Creation Forum. It's full of info on modding/adding to Civ (all flavors).
