What this Mod does:
--------------------------
Whenever a great person, such as a great artist or prophet is born in any of YOUR cities, a window will popup, showing you a picture and a quote from the great person. Also, when all unique names are used up, a civ-specific random name will be used with a generic picture. The Warlords version of this mod adds 135 new Great People with images & quotes as well as Great General images.
Install Instructions:
-------------------------
Unzip the contents into \Warlords\MODS or \My Games\Warlords\MODS.
Alternatively, unzip to any directory and copy only the contents of the Assets subdirectory to your CustomAssets directory.
No need to run any batch file!
Running the Mod
---------------------
1. Start Civilization IV Warlords
2. From the menu, go to advanced, then click on Load a Mod
3. Load Great Person Mod for Warlords
4. Civilization IV will restart
5. Start a game as usual
Note that everytime you want to play your game, Civilization IV will have to restart and load the mod. If you want this mod to load automatically every time you play Warlords then edit the "CivilizationIV.ini" file in your "\My Documents\My Games\Warlords" directory. Search for "Mod = 0" and change it to "Mod = Mods\Great Person Mod for Warlords".
The uncompressed file size of this Mod is roughly 100mb.
Note regarding Warlords version from Amra
------------------------------------------
The additional 135 Great People that I have included are names and images that I use in my (Amra's) Modpack. As such, a select few of the new names may not be as well known and were included because they are a favorite writer, artist, etc of mine. If you don't want someone included in your personal game, then edit the CIV4UnitInfos.xml file with notepad to remove any of the new Great People you do not want.
I have included a template image in the Art\GreatPeople directory in case anyone wants to add their own Great People.
