GerikSpells aims to provide a way to quickly design abilities, actions or spells for Civ4 mods. The goal is to interface as much of the game's SDK (written in c++) to a python interface, to allow for quick coding and debugging. A powerful system will allow modders to use prebuilt 'Policy Classes' to make the base of their code, only needing coding the parts that are specific to their desired spell, action or ability.
