Help with modding civs

This feels weird, for EaW I help people like me for this game...
Anyway, how do you edit the text that comes up when you load the game. Just when you open a saved game or a new game. Any help would be great.

Quick question, would it be in the screens? I looked but I couldn't find it in there.

I think this file has what you want:
~/galciv2/data/english/GC2_hints.xml

Probably as well as the graphical screen--it is in ~/GalCiv2/Screens/ LoadingWnd.dxpack. To open the dxpack files get Link this

Sorry, I meant the text after the game has loaded and you can start playing. For the Dregians it's something like, "Greetings, brothers and sisters!" That thing. Any idea where that would be?

Those would be in "FlavorText.xml". They aren't categorized very well, so you will have to search for the dregin text ("greetings" worked for me), and edit that field.
