public class CowAmbientModel : DeerAmbientModel

    }  

    public override AmbientUnitChange UnitIsAboutToPerformMove(AmbientUnit ambientUnit, Unit unit, Position position, Player viewer, bool isFinalPosition)

1. copy the city class to your own Units.cs mod file;
2. add to the endturn method this code (I would tell you the exact line on chat);
3. change the numbers (ID of your new resource, distance from the city and yield of each cow group). I already added comments to the code itself.

if (hasOwner)
{
	PositionCollection positionsWithCows = State.AmbientUnits.GetAmbientUnitByModelId(5).GetAmbientUnitsPositions().GetPositionsNotFurtherThan(unit.Position, 3, false);//3 here is the max distance from the city
	if (positionsWithCows.Count > 0)
	{
		int numberOfMyCowsAround = State.Chart.GetSquares(positionsWithCows).GetSquaresWithOwner(unit.OwnedBy).Count;

		if (numberOfMyCowsAround > 0)
		{
			GameResource cowHideResource = State.Resources.GetGameResourceById(6);//replace 6 by ID of your new resource
			if (cowHideResource != null)
			{
				PlayerResource cowHidesToAdd = cowHideResource.CreatePlayerResource(2 * numberOfMyCowsAround);//2 is the actual "yield" out of every cow group
				unit.OwnedBy.AddResources(new PlayerResourcesCollection(cowHidesToAdd), stateChanged);
			}
		}
	}
}

Yes, I added it to the description, you have to restart Aggressors. Just loading the mod isn't enough.

The mod itself works fine. Pavel will fix so you can load it without restart.

Please try again to restart Aggressors, it will pick up the mod automatically and you can load a new game and choose hollandv0.090

and just experimenting, and failing a lot of times (with a value can't be 0 error) I made good progress on the Cowhide Farms mechanism. It's a complete new resource now with a resource farm that produce cowhide, but cost an amount of food.
It also is taken by the birthrate. I has a library entry, a description, an 11th resource added to the topbar and can be added from the editor as a mine with a unique ID and the mechanism work (mostly) I have to assign some more parameters.

The library text is placeholder.

This reminds me of Lords of the Realm.
If you remake this game into Lords of the Realm 1 you will be my hero.

It should not crash, also not in v5g.

In the .zip file there are two folders. Did you copy/pasted the complete folders to the game and user directories?

The holland mod folder to the bin directory (the name of the folder is ancient_rome-holland) and the hollandv0.90 folder to the scenario directory in the user folder (not the game scenario folder)?

Did you get an error log?

Thanks! Really interested in your feedback.

I think it should be even easier to install the mod as harryvdk already mentioned. Just a one click install (Steam workshop does this automatically) should be really nice.

Just played 25 or so turns. Fun gameplay on the southern wall. Imho move the units onto the walls at the start. Now they are too late.
Building up a road network fast now because the map is sooooooooooooooooooo big.
Most of the tribes offered peace now.
