Just another stupid modding question

[Gonzalo]

I wondered if it were possible to add new custom civilizations via scripting...just a thought, but I will research!!

For example, a new campaign with scen editor custoim civ name and scripting so the cities for "Assyrian" were called "Assur", "Kallah", "Niniveh" and same with territories...it would be GREAT

Added after 2 minutes 7 seconds:
And for example 8 middle east civs, like "Assyrian", "Babylonian", "Sumer", "Persia", "Judaea", "Samaria" etc all with cities and territories names

If .ies script document has functions for it, why not?

[Gonzalo]

That's it!!! I have reviewed completely the Scripting Bible but I haven't found anything simiar...there must be a way to do, but I don't know how...

[Dr.MonaLisa]

If something doesn't exist in the scripts why there "MUST" be the way?

[Gonzalo]

I mean...I am fairly sure that via text or via scripting any number of civilizations with their cities and territories is possible....but I don't know whether the Scripting Bible sums up all the whole of ies scripting or there are more commands, secret commands or instructions...it isn't paranoia, just I am a little confuse.

At the Egyptian campaign from the original game, for instance, there were different names of cities from those of the Egyptian civilization...

Or in the Maasai campaign

Here are all available .ies functions, dumped from the .exe (and even some of them don't work):

I know it sounds absurd, but I think it's possible to use different custom civs with their cities and territories which are wider than 3 middle east civs, for example.

Very interesting code...I will study it thanks you very much!

Try to edit the list of civilizations in Map Editor maybe, using the same methods as it's done on the game setup screen.

I did, I replaced all instances of "eCivs" inside Text/DBWidget_Scenedit.csv by "myCivs" and I have added two extra civilizations. But game crashes with new civilizations...it simply reads "Bad Heap"

With "must" I mean it "should"

Added after 5 minutes 50 seconds:
I mean, I mean, it's entirely possible to create custom civilizations for the AI, but only changing the main "name" of the civilization...it would be great to find a way to attach personalized territories and cities to those "custom civs"

I think I found a way how-to!! But I don't know how to create a new campaign with scenarios and how to attach rhis code to scenarios... :/
