Unlike other XML files, these files can have any name and still be recognized by the game.  Most epic game files are Civ4GameText_*, but a file could be named anything.  For example, Assets\Text\XML\Buildings.xml would be recognized by the game without any SDK changes.  This can be done with no other type of XML file.

Text Files

Unlike other XML files, these files can have any name and still be recognized by the game. Most epic game files are Civ4GameText_*, but a file could be named anything. For example, Assets\Text\XML\Buildings.xml would be recognized by the game without any SDK changes. This can be done with no other type of XML file.
