Installation Instructions for New Units

Back to Top

Installing these units is very simple. All the necessary files are included in the units' zip files.  You will need WinZip (or another unzipping program), and the Hacked CivEdit program.  If you are using the version 1.29 patch or later you do not need a "hacked" editor. You can use the included editor.

All of the units in the game have their own subfolder in the \art\units\ folder. These subfolders have the same name as the unit.  You will need to create a new subfolder for each unit you are installing. For example, if you are adding the "Fencer" unit, you will need to create subfolder called "Fencer."

Use your Unzip program to unzip the zip file into the new subfolder. This will install all of the files that the game needs to use the unit.


Every unit has a subfolder under \art\units.


The Hacked CivEdit Edit Rules Menu

You will use the Hacked CivEdit program to add new units to the game. The original CivEdit that comes with the game does not include "Add" buttons. The FREE Hacked CivEdit program is the same program as the original only the "Add" and "Remove" buttons have been left active. (If you are using the version 1.29 patch or later, the included CivEdit program comes with the "Add" and "Remove" buttons already activated. There is no need for a "hacked" version.)

Open the Hacked CivEdit program. Open civ3mod.bic
(it's located in the Civilization III folder).

The civ3mod.bic file is the default .bic file that the game loads when you choose to start a new game.

Click on the Rules menu and click on Edit, then select Units.

This opens the "Edit Civilization 3 Rules" with the "Units" tab active.

Click on the "Add" button. When asked for the unit name, type unitname.
(where unitname is the name of the unit, which is the same name as the \art\units\ subfolder.

Set the unit's stats, and click "Close."

Save the file.

Exit the editor and play the game!


Use this dialog to Add new units and set their stats
