For the AI the ability is coded so that when the Hippomache passes over a horse tile, the resource is automatically moved to an available empty tile in the nearest city.

I am liking the Amazons. I have questions:
Hippomache upgrades to Knight rather than Skirmisher?
Hippomache should have a 'Capture Horses' button if ability has not been used?
I play with VP - EUI, 3/4 UC, and a TON of MODS. I am assuming that something is breaking the button on Hippomache. Has anyone else seen this?

Yes, the Hippomache upgrades into a Knight also when playing with VP.
For the button, I used the mission code embedded in the CBP dll (the one used also for the Great Admiral mission that gives luxuries) so it's fully compatible with it. I play VP with EUI I have never had problems, so I have no idea what can create the conflict in your case.

mmm... I'll give it a look at it. Probably with the last VP updates something broke.

Ok, I did a quick check with the last beta of VP with EUI (April 29th) and everything works.
1) freshly trained Hippomache is not on a Horse tile -> no 'Trap Horse' button
2) freshly trained Hippomache reaches a Horse tile -> "Trap Horse" button appears between fortify and alert
3) clicking the button correctly remove horses from tile and the button disappears
4) time to go back home and proudly show the loot to the queen
5) This flood plain looks a nice place where to raise our newly acquired horses. The button "Place horses" appears because in owned lands.
6) Clicking the button spawn the captured horses on tile.
Important note: the ability can be used only once per unit (for balancing purposes), so our Hippomache unit cannot capture Horses anymore and the button "Trap Horses" will never appear again.
You need to train a new Hippomache unit in order to use the ability again.

Thanks for the response & your amazing mods!
After some testing (removing submods one by one) I have identified the problem.
The aforementioned issues (mod not recognizing VP and missing buttons) ensued whenever I included other custom civs such as Leugi's Israel for VP, Goths for VP, or Phoenician for VP.
After removing all other custom civs (except for Greece/Macedon split) I could play the Amazons with their intended mechanics.

Just a small question concerning the Amazon's UA. I don't know if this is a design choice but only archery units strictly adjacent to the GG get the bonus to their range on the next turn. Usually, aura buffs work immediately and also affect the unit stacked with the buffer unit.

I checked the code and noticed that the check for a general occurs for adjacent plot but I forgot to add the check also for the same plot (i.e. when GG is staked).
Also I preferred to have the check to be performed once every turn instead of every time a unit moves (that occurs many times in a turn) to speed up the computation time.
However, in the later mod of Bengal that I coded I made a compromise that is if the civ is played by human the buff applies immediately when a unit moves to designated plot, if the civ is played by AI the buff is applied every turn instead to quicken the game. I may translate this approach also to the Amazons mod and make everyone happy.
Given that I also forgot to flag the leader gender as female (and so in game it is addressed as masculine) I think I will make a ninja update to the mod to address those small issues.

I just tried out your new civ and it seems that when the mod is active neither the player nor AIs are able to create missionaries/inquisitors.
In the my current game I'm using VP and quite a few modmods. After removing all mods but VP, 4UC and this mod, the issue seems to persist.

Thanks for the quick response and the fix! The buttons for both units have reappeared in my previous save.
However, I cannot click on them even if I have sufficient faith to buy them.
Edit: Starting a new game I can now spawn the units using IGE. Well, I have to start a new save I guess

Nice new civ. Question, I see Vox Populi mentioned a lot, what exactly is it? I know its a community expansion/patch mod, but is there more to it than that?
