hi!
i'm trying to add a new government type in the game (Federation)
i followed a tutorial but my game end up crashing 
i wonder if there is another way of adding your own government to the game 
do someone know how to do that ?

The way I do is basically go to the Governments.json file in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Age of Civilizations II\game". After you find that what I do is just copy an existing government but make it close to a government its based on if it is like for example if your making "Elected Monarchy" use Monarchy for your base. If you want after you can edit the assets like "MILITARY_UPKEEP: 1.04" but this never really worked for me. Usually what I do is add a new letter tag, new name, and a new color. Once your done with that you will have a basic government I don't know if there's a better way but this is the way I use I hope it helps.
