well make the pioneer like an engineer from civ 2

I am experimenting to adapt this mod to BTS.

* Scouts only available to civilizations with Nomadism civic.
* Scouts can pillage, attack (strength 3), and build Camps.
* Scouts upgrade to Nomadic Riders.
* Camps can be built outside cities, act as cities and essentially function as early Fortresses.
* Animal units generate a Worker when defeated. Animals hang around even in Medieval starts.

What do you think?

Maybe you can add a nomadic trait to?

1) Easy; tsentom made a Seafaring civic that lets someone with that trait start with the tech Sailing. SImply change sailing to a new tech "Scouting" that is unresearchable and untradable.

2) Also easy, can be done in XML.

3) See above.

4) See #2

5) Possible.


Update it to BtS, it'll be cool.

Well, I know how to do it, I am trying it out.

But I cannot get the defeat-animal-get-Worker-thing right. Any hints?
