That's sad :( I was trying to make a single age mod with all the nations plus 10 mod nations, but it seems I am out of luck then :(

Why this arbitrary limit, anyway?

It's has to do with programming. I'm not versed enough to explain further.

I dont quite understand how to use it. I have python installed, from Civ 4. I now want to combine a mod (Sombre lateera mod) with the magic site mod. How would i go about doing this ?
When i open the .py files, notepad++ is used.

Well, the last time I used Windows it was called 3.1 so I'm not really sure. If you can get a *DOS terminal* or some such and change to your mod directory, then 'combineMods.py 3 lateera.dm sitemod.dm my_spiffy_new_modname'... I think (.dm names approximated). Really could use some help from savvy windows users out there... if you've used this script how do you do it?

In that case, creating a .bat should work...but it doesnt. When i run the batch, notepad still opens up the combinemods.py instead of actually doing something relevant.
Perhaps someone else will post. thanks for your time so far.

"Chaos Warrior Chariot"

"Keeper of Secrets"

and the mod is "chaos undivided"
Interesting. If they have the same ID number then one should just overwrite the other. It shouldn't be changing other aspects (at least cost) of the unit. Can you post the .dm into this thread so I can try and figure it out?
not sure which .dm you want me to post.

Attempting to give them all, together with the script

That was enough information for me to figure it out. It seems like some of my negative lookahead assertions were broken. I think it's fixed now and updated in the first post.

Re: combineMods.py
 
With the help of lch I made a fairly major change to DMG/combineMods.py which gives some extra room for modding spells by overwriting unused national spells. Previously there were ~136 spell slots but by overwriting unused national spells EA mods can have ~252, MA ~225, and LA ~168. By removing all the default nations and playing with just mod nations you can now have ~353 spells. This hasn't been tested all that much but appears to work. More details here.
