The Civ4UnitInfos XML file controls data related to individual units: for example, a unit's strength value or production cost. There are also more detailed options, affecting things like transport capabilities, prerequisites, and other complex features.

All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the 'open', the second the 'closed' tag. If nothing goes inside a 'list tag', then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

This page is missing information. Do not remove this notice until it is complete.


Tags

Headers

These tags typically bracket other tags, sometimes the entire file, and are generally used to specify more than one piece of data.

Tag Name Description
Capture Either NONE, or the unit which the unit turns into when captured.
Class The class as defined in CIV4UnitClassInfos.xml. Class is the thing that holds, say, a Swordsman and a Praetorian together; each civilization can only have one of each class.
Combat The combat type, out of UNITCOMBAT_MELEE, UNITCOMBAT_ARCHER, UNITCOMBAT_MOUNTED, UNITCOMBAT_GUN, UNITCOMBAT_SIEGE, UNITCOMBAT_NAVAL, UNITCOMBAT_AIR and UNITCOMBAT_HELICOPTER of the unit - used to determine bonuses in combat & defense.
Domain DOMAIN_ - then AIR, SEA or LAND.
DefaultUnitAI The default way in which the AI uses the unit.
Invisible Either NONE (either meaning not invisible or completely invisible, see below) or INVISIBLE_STEALTH or INVISIBLE_SUBMARINE.
SeeInvisible Either NONE or a category of invisibility above. Means that the unit can see all units with this type of invisibility.
Special Should be NONE unless it comes under a heading in CIV4SpecialUnitInfos.xml; in which case write that.
Type The name of the unit; which must be unique.
UnitInfo Each different unit's data is enclosed in a seperate tag like this.
UnitInfos This begins and ends the file. Everything must go in between these two, or it will not work.
UniqueNames Can be used to make the same unit have seperate names. kinda the same as cities. Can either contain text or a text tag


Prerequisites

These tags must be included when writing new entries, or the game will crash or otherwise malfunction.

Tag Name Description

Flavors The 'flavours' of the unit - these relate to leader behavior in the AI.
HolyCity If not NONE, then it is the Holy City needed to build the unit.
HurryCostModifier Impacts the Gold Hurry cost of the unit.
MinAreaSize Minimal number of water squares needed nearby to build sea vessels (20 for all sea units except Work Boats).
Moves The number of movement points that the unit has.
PrereqBonuses Used as a list tag to enclose BonusType tags.
PrereqBuilding Either NONE, or the building needed in a city to build this unit.
PrereqCorporation Either NONE, or the corporation needed in a city to build this unit.
PrereqReligion Either NONE, or the religion needed in a city to build this unit.
PrereqTech Either NONE, or the technology that you need to build this unit.
ProductionTraits The leader traits which affect production of this unit, along with the value.
ReligionType For units, always NONE.
