I am currently enjoying a 1.03 game on gifted ai. I will likely update to 1.1 this weekend.
I want to use a Custom race I create and I want to twink it rather badly by giving it a higher than normal class planet and adjacent planet.
As an example I have the race I made use the 'Earth' type templet which gives you 'Earth and Mars' planets and of course you can rename them.
I tried to mod the 'Earth and Mars' XML changing earth to class 20 and mars to class 18, and putting that xml into the mod folder. However when i created the game the changes did not show up.
My reasons for doing this aside, I am simply getting my feet wet with modding. Is there a step or series of steps I am missing or another xml I need to also 'mod'?
