Super Workers II

Gameplay:

Workers gain experience every time they finish building an improvement or road. Every ten builds they gain a level and you can choose a new promotion. Each promotion gives your workers new abilities. Be careful to choose the right path - the most powerful promotions need specialisation!

Includes Usable Peaks, Terraforming, new Improvements, Transcontinental Railway and much more.

I playtested this mod, but only played through two games with it. So please report any possible bugs to me
If anyone has a good idea for other "great archivements" the new great workers could do, let me know.

oh and any feedback is also welcome.

I really like the promotion lines. Pity about the ancients that built monasteries and castles in peaks.

I just uploaded version 2.0

changes:

- Added "Great Workers" for each promotion line. These are Great Person units, that can do the usual stuff (Golden age, scienceboost etc), but also have their own abilities:

- Great Faming Engineers, Great Mining Engineers and Great Forestry Engineers can join a city adding +1/Food or 1Production per Farm/Mine/Lumbermill. This Bonus changes, if you add an improvement (or loose one).

- They also can improve all said improvements of a city instantly to their best version. Great Road Engineers add railwaytracks to all citytiles. Great Desert and Great Arctic Engineers terraform city deserts/tundra/ice to plains. Consumes the unit.

- All Great Workers can join a city to become teachers. Requires an university in your city. Adds +10 Experience for all existing workers and all newly build ones. Can only be build once per promotionline.

- Great Road Engineers can build a "transcontinental railway". Just pick a plot and the Engineer will build a track to that plot. Consumes the unit.

- Great Desert Engineers can build world wonder "Dersertec". Gives clean energy to all your cities on the continent. Requires at least one desertplot in the cityarea. Can only be build once and consumes the unit.

- also changed the promotionlines a bit.

is there any chance you can reupload this mod atomicgamer link is dead.

anyone has this mod and can upload?

I have two copies one from March which is 11 Mb and one from May which is 6 Mb. Unfortunately I have reached my upload limit at the moment, should get a new limit in a couple of days.
