Benin (Gods and Kings)

Adds Benin to the base game.

~~~

The Brave New World version can be found here here: Benin (Brave New World).

~~~

Note:
- This civilization requires the Gods and Kings expansion and the Denmark-Viking DLC
- A version which does not have the Denmark-Viking DLC dependency can be downloaded here

No Viking DLC Version Download[forums.civfanatics.com]

-The reason for the dependency is because I chose to use the Motte and Bailey UI graphic for the Iya (as both were large earthwork defensive structures and it does work to an extent). I attempted to extract the graphic but apparently the game becomes crash-crazy if you reload the landmark system. The Non-DLC version uses the Barbarian Camp graphic for the Iya instead.
- This mod overwrites the CityView.lua and CivilopediaScreen.lua game files. This is done in order to make the dummy UA buildings invisible and is purely aesthetic. However, it will cause compatibility problems with other mods which also overwrite these files (not counting any of my other mods as they use the same edits). To disable this, simply delete the "Dummy Building Folder" folder (and the four files within).
- This civilization will also be included in the Zambezi mega-mod which focuses on adding civ representation to Africa as well as African scenarios, religions, and wonders. Do no use the stand alone version of the mod at the same time as the Zambezi mod (v.2 and up).
- Updates will most likely break saves. Do not update unless you are ready to start a new game.
