New Faction - Not showing up in the unit list

[LordStark]

I am trying to make a new faction called the 13th Legion. I am using Delenda Est.

I copied the imp file in "civ" and renamed it "legion" and changed the code to "legion"

I then copied the imp file in special/players and renamed it "legion". I then opened it and changed the <civ> to <civ>legion</civ>

I also changed the GenericName to "The 13th Legion"

I then copied the imp civil centre and pasted it a "legion" template folder. I opened the file and changed civ to "legion".

I still can't find my new faction in the drop down list when I start the game.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Is it on Guthub so I can see the code?

I' a little nervous about using Github. I am not so good with computers and I don't fully understand what it is and why everyone is using it. But I can put the files here:

They have access to the Army Camp and Siege Walls, which can be built in enemy territory. They also receive a free Temple of Vesta at the start of a match, which increases capture resistance of nearby buildings, and the Triumphal Arch, which boosts their soldiers. Lastly, their navy is weak, but their siege weapons are very strong.</History>

That's the issue. ERROR: JavaScript error: globalscripts/Templates.js line 21 simulation/data/civs/legion.json doesn't contain Name

You need to add a "Name" property to your civ.json

Github is a platform that allows you to share update and store your mods. It is built around the git command line too, which is used to version (ie keep track of changes) all the files.

See https://learngitbranching.js.org/?locale=fr_FR

I added a name and I now get these errors:

Can I end up in legal trouble if I put something on Github that is not freeware? For example I borrow a lot of stuff from Millenium AD and also random textures off the internet (like a picture of Lord Stark from Game of Thrones). As the mod is private I know it is no big deal.

I am still a little unsure whether Millenium AD can claim copyright on their models even though the 0AD game is freeware.

Depends but it's usually discouraged if you can find creative commons sources instead
