More Details On Civ IV Moddability

dfrankow writes "Gamespy has a preview of the upcoming Civilization IV title, where they go into more details about the moddability of the game. From the article: 'Civilization IV promises to be the most moddable game in the franchise yet. It'll ship with an in-game worldbuilder that allows you to shift units around and redraw the map, similar to a scenario editor. More hardcore modders can jump into XML files and tweak all of the unit stats and variables in the game. Beyond that, users who know the Python scripting language can actually go in and set up scripts and triggers to make game events happen or alter the way the game plays, while a Game A.I. SDK that'll be available shortly after the game ships will allow players to completely change the way the A.I., combat system, or game rules work.'"

Excellent, Civ4 will now be like FreeCivhttp://freeciv.org/, except that it won't be free, and it won't be for Linux. Years after FreeCiv has been trying to be like Civ, with rulesets for Civ1 & 2, Civ4 has succeeded in becoming LIKE FreeCiv! The irony.
