[BtS]Water Animals Mod 2016-10-05

This mod basically enables animals to be automatically spawned in oceans if
they have their feature or terrain native values set correctly. So for instance
if a water animal should trawl through ocean and water plots then the terrain
native should be set in the unit definition like this:

<TerrainNatives>
                    <TerrainNative>
                         <TerrainType>TERRAIN_OCEAN</TerrainType>
                         <bTerrainNative>1</bTerrainNative>
                    </TerrainNative>
                    <TerrainNative>
                         <TerrainType>TERRAIN_COAST</TerrainType>
                         <bTerrainNative>1</bTerrainNative>
                    </TerrainNative>
               </TerrainNatives>
[/code]
As an example I have included Chalid's newly introduced Kraken.


Installation Instructions:

1) Unzip this into the "civ4_install_folder\Mods\" folder.
2) Open the CivilizationIV.ini configuration file
3) Change the Mod line to read: Mod = Mods\Water Animals Mod
4) Load the game.
5) Then play as normal.

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

If you want to use the Water Animals Mod in your mod I have tried to make
things as easy as possible for you. In the XML files modified sections are
enclosed by:
<!-- -->
<!-- Water Animals Start -->
<!-- -->
and
<!-- -->
<!-- Water Animals End -->
<!-- -->

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

As part of the changes to the SDK files I have also exposed several new methods
to python, they are:
     int getWaterAnimalSpawnChance() const;
     void setWaterAnimalSpawnChance(int iNewValue);
     void changeWaterAnimalSpawnChance(int iChange);
