The Intro
-Use either Notepad++ or Notepad (I prefer Notepad++ though, but i don't care what you use but just use one)
-have common sense and patience (in the sense of making copies of your files and not blaming me for your own mistakes and patience, because sometimes, it takes trial and error and time to figure out problems)
Descr_building_battle_enums.txt (can Be Used In Basic Modding, If You Know What Your Doing)
Basically the Name look-up for all the buildings' names in game.
Descr_cultures.txt (can Be Used In Basic Modding, Only If You Know What Your're Doing)
this .txt tells the game which faction's cities type they should use (this file is quite useful, I have an other guide relating to this .txt on how to port over the bi buildings to vanilla and vice versa, that includes this)
