Go to the conquest folders (they are in ...\Conquests\Conquests), look for the resources.pcx and resources_shadows.pcx in the Art folder.

Open these files using either Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop.

Then, open the resources.pcx and resources_shadows.pcx in the ...\Conquests\Art folder (NOT the folder for the conquests themselves, but the expansion pack itself).

Using the graphics editors, copy/paste the resource graphics from one file onto the other. Save. Make sure you get the shadows and the resources on the same order.

You're done.

Furthermore, I recommend you to open up EVERY graphic file within the directory to really get a grip on modding.

ok ive got all that thanks! now what i cant figure out is how to copy and paste using photo shop because it just rewrites over the old resources. i want both to be included.

No problem. The pedia icons for the resources are all in the main folder, so you don't need to do anything for those. Just make sure you reference them in the "PediaIcons.txt" file. Pull the Civilopedia entries out of the Civilopedia.txt file of the scenarios and add it to your own. Set up a scenario folder just like the main folder, like:

"Iceboy's Mod"

With the following folders:

\Text\PediaIcons.txt
\Text\Civilopedia.txt

You also need to make folders for the resources:

\Art\resources.pcx
\Art\resources_shadows.pcx

Use the main Conquest folders for the template so you can see how it is structured.
