2. Click Add button and enter race name. 
3. In 'Civilopedia Entry' enter race's verbal ID (for example RACE_MONGOLS - need change Civilopedia.txt).
4. Look 'Animations' section on this page and enter Forward & Reverse Filenames for each era with 
The Ruler animations found in Art\Flics.
5. Fill ruler, cities, leaders, race etc names. 
6. Tab to 'Units' page and do link common and specific units with the proper civs. 


Changes in diplomacy.txt 

For each of the #AI_Section with #civ=1 parameter add by followed formula
(thanks for Dan Magaha) 


                               (3 if #power == true )   (3 if #mood == true ) 
number of lines = (N * #civ) * (         or         ) * (         or        ) * #random
                               (1 if #pover == false)   (1 if #mood == false)


Notes:

NN -- Total number of civs
N = (NN - 16) -- Number extra civs

In followed table:

...
#AIFIRSTCONTACT                       16 + 1 * N (add 1*N lines)
...
#AIDEMANDTRIBUTE                      48 + 3 * N
...

#AIFIRSTCONTACT -- means the label of entry

for #AIFIRST... 
16 -- number of lines in standard diplomacy.txt file
1*N  --- number of extra lines for new civs per number of extra civs, 
for example for 2 extracivs 1*2 = 2 new lines
for #AIDEMAND...                      
48 -- number of lines in standard diplomacy.txt file
3*N  --- number of extra lines for new civs per number of extra civs, 
for example for 2 extracivs 3*2 = 6 new lines sorted per civs, per 3 power, per 3 moods by #random

...
For this kind of entry:
18 -- are standard lines
0  -- no add lines

This is example for the entry

#AIFIRSTCONTACT
#civ 1  ; ---- need adding
#power 0
#mood 0
#random 1
"I, $AI0, Ruler of $CIVNAME1, wonder of the world, greet you." ; --- for first standard civ
"Greetings. I, $AI0, greet you."
...
...
"I am Great $AI0. The $CIVADJ2 people are honorable. Deal with us fairly and we shall have peace."
"I am $AI0, of the $CIVADJ3." ; for last 16th civ
; - - this add new lines for extra 2 civs
"I, $AI0, Ruler of $CIVNAME1, wonder of the world, greet you." ; --- for 17th extra civ
"Greetings. I, $AI0, greet you." ; - - for 18th extra civ
...

So to add a civ, we would need to make edits to the sample text you attached.

where do we get the hacked civ3edit?

Yes, if You want. I've just add strings from first 15 original civs regardless they specific abilites. Hacked Civ3Edit in this forum. Search jimmyh's thread. You might use Gramphos's MultiTool

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Have you ever had a crash when entering Foreign Advisor, after adding a new civ, and playing as that new civ. You can still enter diplomatic negotiations through Diplomacy, but get crash when calling up the foreign advisor?

Any ideas on how to fix that?

No way! Number of unique rulers still hardcoded.

If I could ask you a huge favor montezuma.....If you have a completed modfile, that I can download, with the extra civs, I really dont care who, I would very grateful......Im not a programmer, and its hard to do the way you said...

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

So it's impossible to have 16 additional Civs? What have we in the "ExtraPack" project been doing then?

And the diplomacy text you put here is applicable AS IS for say, my modpack, or do I have to edit something?

	07-08-2002 04:11									#11
	Suffering from ads?

Unfortunatelly still no way for 16 extras. Just tiny window for 15 (read the readme for 1.29).
For second question: for fun need editing civ specific messages in diplomacy.txt. Remember Montezuma in original txt says like "I prepare 50 victims for bloody washing" or something?
I don't know in this forum or in fanatics published tool 'dpledit' for diplomacy.txt editing. Try find them.
