I've never seen a mod that altered how long corpses stay on the ground before vanishing. Personally, I like to see hundreds of soldiers marching off to war in neat array and then beating each other senseless in a free-for-all with ensuing carnage that litters the ground in a corpse-ridden, smoldering aftermath. But with the way Civ V currently handles warfare the land looks relatively unstained by the blemishes of war.
So is there a mod out there that slows corpse decay? If not, I propose a mod with the following features:
1. Permanent corpses: units lie however and wherever they fell in battle.
2. Corpses can be cleaned up with a clean pollution or similar function by workers.
3. When corpses are cleared off of terrain, it yields a small amount of gold (since essentially you are recycling the metal of burned-out tanks, reusing uniforms and rifles, etc.). Rationalize it however you wish. But this gives the AI and players a practical reason to tidy their lands and bury their dead.
