Ban Some Leaders

NOTE: This mod is sort of obsolete since the Februari 27th, 2021 path, which gave us the "Leader Selection Pool" feature, as seen in this announcement video: https://youtu.be/m7rQ-x2iJYU?t=200

This mod might still be useful for people who never want certain leaders in the game. I will leave the mod here, but I will no longer update it with new leaders from future DLC/Expansions.

--

Ban specific leaders from appearing in game. Single player only. By default it bans Alexander, Chandragupta, Cyrus, Frederick Barbarossa, Gorgo, Jadwiga and Shaka.

You can easily edit the mod file to ban your own set of leaders. To do this, edit the BSL.sql file in the mods folder. The file is specifically formatted for easy customization.

• BSL.sql can be found in ...\SteamApps\workshop\content\289070\2111581683
  
• Remove "-- " in front of the line for each leader you want to ban from game.
  
• Leave or add "-- " in front of line for each leader you want to allow in game.
  
• All leaders from base game and all expansions and DLCs are listed in the file.

NOTE: Every update of this mod would overwrite this file. However, I don't intend to ever update this mod again.

Compatibility:

• Updated with the Byzantium & Gaul Pack, September 2020.
  
• For unknown reasons this mod only works for single player.
  
• This mod works with any combination of DLC and Expansions, and doesn't require any.
  
• This mod should not be used on existing savegames that have or had any of the banned leaders in game.
  
• You will run into issues if you remove too many leaders. Make sure the game has enough leaders to fill all slots in your game.
  
• This mod might conflict with other mods that rely on or try to change banned leaders or their civilizations.

This mod was inspired by the NoAABC mod from Imothep: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2003572445
