The CvDawnOfMan file is a python interface file that controls the appearance of the screen you get after first starting a game, called the "Dawn of Man" screen. It defines the popup screen and everything in it.
The Python files are written in the python programming language. They can be edited in a text editor such as notepad or in a programming editor like Python's IDLE.

Below is a list of all the functions in the file. Each function has a quick description attached to it. Note that there are comments strewn throughout some of these files, direct from the developers in order to aid the potential modders.

szLeaderPanel = "DawnOfManLeaderPanel"
screen.addPanel( szLeaderPanel, "", "", true, false,
self.X_LEADER_ICON - 3, self.Y_LEADER_ICON - 5, self.W_LEADER_ICON + 6, self.H_LEADER_ICON + 8, PanelStyles.PANEL_STYLE_DAWNTOP )
screen.addLeaderheadGFC("LeaderHead", self.player.getLeaderType(), AttitudeTypes.ATTITUDE_PLEASED,
