Civ4VoteSourceInfos

The Civ4VoteSourceInfos file defines the different sources diplomatic votes can come from. The functionality exists only in BtS; for Vanilla and Warlords, votes can only come from the UN.

All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" 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.

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
VoteSourceInfos	This tag surrounds all the entries in the file
VoteSourceInfo	Main bracket for each entry

Text

Tag Name	Description
Type	How the entry is referred to in other files
Description	The text for the entry in the game
PopupText	Text displayed when choosing a vote
SecretaryGeneralText	Text displayed for the leader (secretary general) of the vote source
FreeSpecialist	Free specialist given to members of the vote source
Civic	Civic requirement to be a member of the vote source

Integers

All of these tags have a numerical value. Though it sometimes can be negative, it usually is not.

Tag Name	Description
iVoteInterval	unknown; either interval between votes for the secretary general or the number of turns between each vote

Lists (Multi-line)

All List tags consist of an opening/closing tag, which is shown here, and then each entry within it is another tag with the same name as the parent tag, minus the "s" (i.e. singular, rather than plural).

Tag Name	Description
ReligionYields	Yield given to each city with the religion associated with the vote source; top is food, then production, then commerce <iYield>2</iYield>
ReligionCommerces	Commerce given to each city with the religion associated with the vote source; top is gold, then research, then culture, then espionage <iCommerce>0</iCommerce>
