Civ4CorporationInfo

The Civ4CorporationInfos file defines all of the game's corporations as well as their effects, like providing extra resources and gold.

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.

iMaintenance	The base percent maintenance that the corporation costs. (Default is "100" percent. "0" would make it so that corporation costs no maintenance, "200" would double corporation maintenance.)
iSpreadCost	The base cost that a player must pay to spread the Corporation to a new city.
iSpreadFactor	Unknown (The rate at which corporations spread?), Is "200" for all Corporations.

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
CommercesProduced	This defines the extra commerce that the corporation provides, per resource the corporation consumes, using the iCommerceProduced integer tag. (Ex. 100 = one extra beaker, gold, culture. 25 = .25 extra beakers, gold, culture.)
HeadquarterCommerces	This defines the changes in commerce that are given to the founding city in the corporation. The tags affect the increases in beakers, gold, culture per turn that the corporation provides, using the iHeadquarterCommerce integer tag.
PrereqBonuses	A city must have at least one of these resources for the city to experience the benefits that the corporation provides. The more of the resources the city has, the more bonuses the corporation provides.
YieldsProduced	This defines the extra yields that the corporation provides, per resource the corporation consumes, using the iYieldProduced integer tag. iYieldProduced controls the extra changes in food, hammer, and commerce production in each city with the corporation present. (Ex. 100 = one extra Food, Gold, or Hammer. 25 = .25 extra Food, Gold, or Hammer)
