Hi, I'm looking for some help with a mod I downloaded from the library, http://library.galciv2.com/index.aspx?m=844
the conglomerate of zod. I like the race, but the mod doesn't quite work. I have to load it up as a custom race, which I figured, but there is no description written for it, and it uses a minor race planet with the corresponding low quality (10) instead of a major race planet. It has a raceconfig file, so I figure the author meant for it to come with its own home star system, leader name, race description etc, but none of that shows up. Can someone show me how to fix it? Also, I tried editing some xml files in notepad (brand new to modding) but it didn't do anything. I changed these ability bonuses here
<Option0Text>"We Surrender!"</Option0Text>
<Option0Bonus>-4</Option0Bonus>
<Option0Cost>-3</Option0Cost>
<Option1Text>Pathetic</Option1Text>
<Option1Bonus>-2</Option1Bonus>
<Option1Cost>-2</Option1Cost>
<Option2Text>Weak</Option2Text>
<Option2Bonus>-1</Option2Bonus>
<Option2Cost>-1</Option2Cost>

<Option1Cost>-2</Option1Cost>
<Option2Text>Weak</Option2Text>
<Option2Bonus>-10</Option2Bonus>
<Option2Cost>-1</Option2Cost>
and tried editing some technologies. I saved the file and replaced the mod file with the new file I made but it made no difference in the abilities or technologies I changed. I realize this is kind of nitpicking, but I am just trying to dip my toe in the water and the mod tutorials haven't been much help.
