Bison Resource

This mod enables the Bison resource from the "Conquest of the new world - deluxe" scenario in the main game.

*** You need to have the "Conquest of the new world deluxe" scenario for this mod to work! ***

What this mod do is replacing cow resources with bison resources (according to certain parameters).
Since bison are for all practical purposes equivalent to cows, the changes are merely for flavor and do not affect the gameplay and game balance in any significant way (the only difference is that bison require camps instead of pastures).

Included in the mod an "options.xml" file, that can be modified with the parameters that you prefer.
By default this mod replaces with bison all the cows that are on the western third (35%) of the map (to simulate the fact that bison are found on the western continent) . But you can set it so that all the cows will be replaced, only those at the north, south, center or anything that you wish. You can also select a random replacement system.

In windows 7 the Civ V mod directory can be found in: "Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS". just open the "Bison Resource" directory and the "options.xml" file in it (with notepad or equivalent). You can find detailed explanations on what to do inside (you can also see them in a screenshot above).

Tested with "More Luxuries" (you want cocoa too? Check that), "Perfect World", "Info Addict", and several other mods. No incompatibility issues have been found by me so far.

The original resource didn't have the small icon for some reasons (lazy Firaxis!), I fixed that. All the rest of the graphic files are official.


NOW BISON RESOURCE IS MODULAR!

As long as you have a basic knowledge of XML you can add as many resources as you want to be processed by this mod's code. Check the bottom of the "options.xml" file for explanations.
