How to change the zombie`s basic Combat Strength in game file?
I prefer to start game on information era with T-virus WMD mod attempting to provoke a biohazard,but i found the zombie`s basic CS was too weak to actually cause any significant trouble.
So i managed to find the file "Portugal_GameEffects_MODE.XML" on route steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\DLC\Portugal\Data.
According to AI,this file contains parameters like spawn chance or CS modifier,but i didnt find parameters that affect starting basic CS of zombie.
Is that i missed some parameters that actually related to zombie basic CS?
Or which file\parameters should i looking for to tweak zombies basic CS?:steamfacepalm:

</Units>
So that's the base strength. Update the Units table and change that "Combat" parameter. The GameEffects file defines the scaling parameters:
<Row>
<ModifierId>TOWERDEFENSE_ZOMBIE_COMBAT_STRENGTH_FROM_PROPERTY</ModifierId>
<Name>Key</Name>
<Value>GAME_NUMBER_OF_ZOMBIE_DEATHS</Value>
</Row>
<Row>
<ModifierId>TOWERDEFENSE_ZOMBIE_COMBAT_STRENGTH_FROM_PROPERTY</ModifierId>
<Name>Scalar</Name>
<Value>.5</Value>
</Row>
<Row>
<ModifierId>TOWERDEFENSE_ZOMBIE_COMBAT_STRENGTH_FROM_PROPERTY</ModifierId>
<Name>InversePlayerScaling</Name>
<Value>True</Value>
</Row>
<Row>
<ModifierId>TOWERDEFENSE_ZOMBIE_COMBAT_STRENGTH_FROM_PROPERTY</ModifierId>
<Name>AdvancedStartMultiplier</Name>
<Value>50</Value>
</Row>
So that modifier is how you control how fast the "mutation strength" grows.

This worked,thank u.:steamhappy:
But I met a problem after i set zombie CS from 20 to 45,its works well when i playing 6 players\continent,the zombie CS=basic45+32from mutant,for most time it start with 80-90CS.Just what i want it to be.
But this is where problem happened: When i playing 14 players\earth,the zombies were losing its starting mutant buff,only 45 basic CS.
I didnt change any modifier parameter(maybe i did but i forgot LOL),got any idea whats wrong with it?:steamfacepalm:
