Percy Fawcett Mod - with HORSES!

Description
I was a little shocked Percy Fawcett hadn't been made for this game since he was such an integral figure in the history of the 'age of exploration'. He was one of the main inspirations for Indiana Jones!

If you don't know who Percy Fawcett was, he was a cartographer, artillery officer, geographer, explorer, and archaeologist who disappeared in 1925 while looking for a lost city he called 'Z' which is now believed to have been the recently-discovered Kuhikugu. On his final expedition, he only brought his eldest son Jack with him, and Jack's best friend Raleigh Rimell. So in this mod you get Raleigh and Jack to go with Percy.

One of his most memorable campsites was called 'Dead Horse Camp' (where he regrettably had to slaughter his horse). And he did use horses several times. So you also get... HORSES! Yes, that's right, this mod now includes horses that are also recruitable at native villages and come in six different colours, including a sixth special one!

Now available in French, translated by Damn3d!

*NOTE* If you're interested in translating this to another language, please let me know!

PERKS:
-Polyglot because he was known for speaking many languages and speaking with the natives himself.
-Jungle Explorer since he was very good at surviving in and navigating through a jungle with minimal resources.

PARTY:
-Jack Fawcett was a strong, brave and handsome young man. He was very eager and loyal. Accordingly I've split his dice between support and attacks, and he increases your maximum sanity as he levels up - travelling with Jack was surely a morale boost.
-Raleigh Rimell was Jack's best friend, a very excited young man who didn't quite take exploration in the Amazon as seriously. He took photos and dreamed of being a movie star in Hollywood one day, hoping the adventure would help him in his future career. He increases your fame as a result of his photography (like Tim Timster does) and he has mostly support dice, gaining an attack die at level 3.
-You get a horse. Horses are similar to donkeys, but obviously a bit stronger and faster. Hopefully you won't have to shoot yours like Fawcett did.

EQUIPMENT:
-10 machetes for navigating the jungle.
-10 marbles because he always brought plenty of gifts for locals, and did so on his final expedition.
5 cans of food because he did bring canned food on his final expedition.
-A gun because he was a soldier who'd fought in wars and was good with a gun.
-A sextant because he was a renowned cartographer.

I wish I had the money/time/skills/guts to go looking for Percy and his son and his sons friend ..and of course The Lost City of Z - he was/is the original Indiana Jones!

Thanks for the comment! Great to know other fans of Percy are getting enjoyment out of the mod, that's really what I made it for.

Hey Krevolteur, I really appreciate your comments! It's really important that Percy is represented and more people will know about him as a result of that representation too.

I like your suggestion of doing Claude Levi Strauss. Maybe I will!

I like the way you did this mod. I really enjoy that you took seriously this historian figure. Could you do eventually Claude Levi Strauss, the famous anthropologist french explorer ? I thought that's a shame he is not present in the rooster :)

Yeah I guess it's easy to miss stuff like that when you've spent a lot of time looking at the same document.

No problemo. I just started modding recently and had the very same problem with 2 of my mods cause I didnt know much about syntax yet, so when I played your mod and saw it I was like "HAH, seen that before".

DonVino, thank you so much! I can't believe I missed that. Damn3d has been begging me to fix this for a while and for the life of me I couldn't figure it out no matter what I did. A fresh pair of eyes and all though - thanks!
