Civ4ArtDefines Improvement

The Civ4ArtDefines_Improvement file declares art files and properties for all of the terrain improvements.

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.

Headers

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

ImprovementArtInfo	This is the main bracket that encases each entry.
Type	Label that is used throughout all other XML files

Boolean

All of these can either be 1 (on, or true) or 0 (off, or false). Be careful, as you can wind up with a double-negative, which the game will interpret as "True".
