Improving modularity and mods compatibility
Sometimes mods needs to modify the standard game files in order to achieve some features. Since only one mod can modify a given file a a time, this creates conflicts. Those libraries address those issues: all mods use the same file replacement and this one exposes a way to register new entries and such.

| Modular Diplo Corner | Whoward69 | Provides a non-conflicting way for mods to add entries to the diplo corner menu. While Civ5 now offers a similar functionality in standard, this mod still offers the benefit to prevent compatibility issues between updated and outdated mods. |
