Adding Citizen types or promotions

Anyone tried this? Having some trouble... mostly figuring out where I might define "GlobalType".

You can not create new GlobalType's they are locked away in the Enums schemes, however, this is one of the few schemes that actually has placeholders included. Buffer8-14 and UniqueBuffer0-10. Check out UnitGlobalTypes.xsd.

I have not tried adding new ones, there was a mod here someone made that added citizens though.

Thanks! Testing... no crash yet lol.

As for adding citizens... oddly enough you can add all you want without using a new globaltype, but you can't define anything other than one off trigger abilities unless you have a global type... and that means needing a new (or unused) one.

I noticed there does not seem to be placeholders for promotions though. The scheme says to add new ones at the end, but well we can not edit schemes with out causing weirdness or crashes.

I've got a promotion working. I'm using "buffer8" as the global unit type in the promotionsdefs, and then again as the unit type in colony stats/etc.
