Help with Civ Rating Modding

[unmerged(127999)]

Long story short: I don't know how to mod, and am annoyed by the low civ rating of the Suebi, and want to mod it to be above 50 percent.

Would anyone show me how to mod the civ rating file?

Yup. Do you want to make a separate mod (with a directory of its own) or just mod directly in the game files?
Anyway, this is how you do it:
Find your game directory.
Open the history folder (or mod/#modname#/history, if you're working in a mod directory) and then provinces. Find the file called 78 - Suebi and open it with Notepad, Word or whatever you like. Now you can change civilization_value = 30 to civilization_value = 50 and save the file (with the txt extension).

Good luck!

I'm modding it directly in the game files, and all is well until I want to save it.

It says that it cannot create the file, make sure the path and filename are correct. But I haven't touched the path and filename. So what do I do now?

Alright, it seems you've come over a protected file. Save it as 78 - Suebi 2 or something and then delete the original file and rename this one to 78 - Suebi.

Okay, I did that, and it doesn't seem to have a problem; once I've changed the file, renamed it to the original, I reorganize the files by name, right?

Uhm it doesn't matter if you sort them with windows or not, if that's what you mean.

Ah. Well, anyway, the mod worked, in a way...

I do have 51% civ rating in Suebi, but I still need 10 population for colonization. I'll just mod that in too. I want to have semi-barbarian colonization.

Then I suggest you go back to 78 - Suebi and change population = 8 to population = 10.
