[BtS] M.A.D. Nukes Mod 2016-10-05

The M.A.D. Nukes Mod, or the Mutually Assured Destruction Nukes Mod, changes
the way that ICBM and tactical nukes work in the game depending on the
configuration of the mod. By using this mod cities can be completely destroyed
including all of the units in the city and the plot the city is on is devistated
and reduced to a water plot.

Also, players are able to target the cities of their enemies and future enemies
with their nuclear warheads once they have built the appropriate infrastructure.

Installation Instructions:

1) Unzip this into the "bts_install_folder\Mods\" folder.
2) Open the CivilizationIV.ini configuration file
3) Change the Mod line to read: Mod = Mods\MAD Nukes Mod
4) Load the game.
5) Then play as normal.

-----Notes to Modmakers-----

If you want to use the MAD Nukes in your mod I have tried to make things as
easy as possible for you. In the Python files I have added
# < MAD Nukes Mod Start > and # < MAD Nukes Mod End > in all of the places that
I have made changes to the original files.

In the SDK files I have added // < MAD Nukes Mod Start > and
// < MAD Nukes Mod Mod End > in all of the places that I have made changes to
the original files.
