This thread will be used to discuss ideas for changing current promotions, and designing new promotions.

The first promotion design ideas come from Steph: Create a set of racial promotions. Here are a couple of examples:
Elven Woodsman (+10% Attack/Defense in Forest and +20% Attack/Defense in Ancient Forest)
Dwarven Guerilla (+20% Attack/Defense in Hills)

How bout the Drow get a hills promotion too. Cuz they are also a race that came from Underdark. Although, their bonus should get less than the Dwarves simply because they have several Dark Seldarine units easily available to them. Or not, depending on what you think, Darque.

Instead of having hill promotions for the drow, some drow units will have a poison attack.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that makes sense with them worshiping the Lloth, the Spider Queen. Cool.

I like the racial idea, but why not use 3.5E Feats for promotions, where possible?

Using 3.5E Feats would be fine. Who wants to start a feat list? It would have to include the ingame Civ4 effect too.

That would be cool. What kinda programming would you recommend for that? Cuz if you tell me what programming, I can learn it. (There are some forums on this site that teach programming.) I'd be perfectly willing to do it when I learn the programming.

I meant more of "XXX Feat gives unit +Y% Defense" or "AAA Feat gives unit +Z% Healing bonus" and then also give it a little description for interesting civlopedia reading to go along with it.

Ok. So what kind of programming would that require?

No programming...just create a list

Ok. I can do that pretty easily.
