Is there a way to add a building that every time you build a unit. It receives a random promotion? If this is possible. How would it be done?
Can this be done?

I'm currently on a laptop that takes ages to start up Civ5, so I haven't tested this code, but I think it should work:
Replace "GameInfoTypes.PROMOTION_X, GameInfoTypes.PROMOTION_Y, GameInfoTypes.PROMOTION_Z" with a list of the promotions you want to be available (each prefixed with "GameInfoTypes."), and BUILDING_X with the building in question.
Code:
local pPromotionList = {GameInfoTypes.PROMOTION_X, GameInfoTypes.PROMOTION_Y, GameInfoTypes.PROMOTION_Z}
function GiveRandomPromotion(ePlayer, iCity, eUnit, bGold, bFaithOrCulture)
local pCity = Players[ePlayer]:GetCityByID(iCity)
local pUnit = Players[ePlayer]:GetUnitByID(eUnit)
if pCity:GetNumBuilding(GameInfoTypes.BUILDING_X) > 0 then
pUnit:SetHasPromotion(pPromotionList[math.random(1,#pPromotionList)], true)
end
end
GameEvents.CityTrained.Add(GiveRandomPromotion)Replace "GameInfoTypes.PROMOTION_X, GameInfoTypes.PROMOTION_Y, GameInfoTypes.PROMOTION_Z" with a list of the promotions you want to be available (each prefixed with "GameInfoTypes."), and BUILDING_X with the building in question.
There's also the old Kris Swordsman's mystic blade, which is almost, but not quite what you're looking for - but easy to do. It is a promotion that is automatically given to the unit and has this line:
...which means that there'll be a random promotion given after the first time it is used in combat.
The promotions are chosen from a pre-determined list. In the mystic blade's case it's this:
Again, not quite what you asked for, but may suit your purposes and is easy to do.
Code:
<HasPostCombatPromotions>true</HasPostCombatPromotions>The promotions are chosen from a pre-determined list. In the mystic blade's case it's this:

Just a note, that if you go this route, you should use Game.Rand() instead of math.random(). That way, if someone creates a multiplayer pack with your mod, Game.Rand() will ensure that the same number is generated for each player (math.random() will generate different numbers, causing a desync).
