Resourceful 2 Tamed!

Do you feel Resourceful 2 is just a bit over-the-top? Don't get me wrong but it's an awesome mod. A definite must have. I just felt it needed some fine tuning and balancing to be more consistent with the base game.
This is a mod-mod. Meaning Resourceful 2 is REQUIRED for this to work.

Changes:

Bonus resources are a bit diluted and redundant in Resourceful 2. Sea resources especially. We already have Stone, Cattle and Fish. So now the map isn't so saturated.
REMOVED: Granite, Limestone, Oxen, Salmon, Cod, Mackerel.

Some luxuries lack global importance and usage. We already have Furs and Whales. So I removed a few.
REMOVED: Lion, Wolf, Orca, Sea Urchin.

Coral now spawns on Reefs. Why? Because it should.

Resource Yields are a bit excessive in Resourceful 2. They are not consistent with base game resources. Bonus resources should not give Science and Culture. Changes have been made where needed.
Lapis: Faith yield removed.
Quartz: Science yield removed.
Sandalwood: Culture yield removed.
Aloe: now only gives +1 Gold
Berries: now only give +1 Food
Algae: now only gives +1 Food
Seashells: now only give +1 Gold
Bamboo: now gives +1 Production, +1 Food
Cherry Wood: now gives +1 Culture, +1 Gold
Mussels: Production yield removed
Sponge: Science yield removed, now gives +1 Gold
Tiger: Culture yield removed, now gives +1 Gold
Medicinal Herbs: Science yield removed, now gives +1 Food
Tomato: now gives +1 Food
Maize: now gives +1 Food
Lead: now gives +1 Production
Alabaster: now gives +1 Culture
Toxins: now gives +1 Science
Mushrooms: now gives +1 Food
Rubber: now gives +1 Production
Ham: now gives +1 Food

Resource harvesting is also not consistent with the base game.
So now Luxury resources can no longer be harvested. Bonus resources have been adjusted to match base game yields.
Production set to 25. Food set to 25. Gold set to 50.

It doesn't say so in Resourceful 2's Civilopedia description but Berries and Saffron are buffed by Oral Tradition. Dates, Tomatos and Poppies are also buffed by Goddess of Festivals. No kidding!
Berries, Dates, and Tomatos have now been removed from these beliefs because they are bonus resources.
Civilopedia has been updated to reflect the change.

Did you know the Water Mill in Resourceful 2 buffs Barley, Maize, Sorghum, Strawberries and Potatos. No?! Neither did I!
Strawberries and Potatos no longer get buffed because it's just not realistic unless you like Strawberry juice and mashed potatos. Civilopedia has been updated to reflect the change.

Special thanks to Amatheria and p0kiehl for creating such an amazing mod!
