SPECIAL FORCES (Version 1.2)
The mod that improves the special units of Civilization IV

Spoiler Disclaimer :
This is my first mod, and although it is still a work in progress, all parts that are in the mod work. Anything in [brackets] I am trying to get to work. Changes are in bold. Enjoy!


This mod will be for making each Civilization have a good UU. For example, the Babylonian Bowman will soon be given a +100% bonus versus Melee units instead of the old bonus, making them viable for use. Other Civilizations get new UUs that are made from new units I have added.

NEW TRAITS
  • Nomadic-+100% gold from pillaging, enemies can't pillage or capture gold inside your Cultural Borders, double the producion speed of stables/Gers; given in place of Agressive to Kublai Khan and Genghis Khan.

INCORPORATED MODS
  • Long Range Mod by topsecret was added, so now although Archery and some Siege units require buildings, they (and Naval units post-Optics) can attack enemy unts and bring their health down to 0.1 by bombardment. Along with this came a new unit- the Onager (a catapult with increased range and no limit to damage done in combat).
  • War Prize ModComp by Mechaerik, chance for enemy boats to be captured in naval battles (even naval UUs)

Other Stuff-
  • New Resource: SHRIMP! :p
  • Recon units can now get more promotions
  • Quote for Military Science changed
  • Buttons for all of the units and the Counter Sniper promotion but the UAV added
  • A scenario that I am using for my Civ4 story based on GEM 4.1, plus GEM 4.1 (both are under scenarios)
    [*]All of the Civilizations now have new flags
    [*]The interface has a few things added to it


Instructions-
Just download the mod and unzip it into the MODS folder under My Documents-->My Games-->Beyond The Sword-->MODS, open Beyond the Sword, lick Load Mod under the Advanced tab, click Special Forces, and go!
