Nice!!

I just hope it's modular
Btw, the LH is Amra's right?

 

[The Capo]

Yes the LH is Amra's, he might not be aware because I provided most of the art for him.

I added Amra to the credits.

Query: There isn't a picture of the UB. What does it do to the forge?

I like the Buccaneer. Definitely purely for offense, although possibly slightly underpowered.
The Berserker gains +10% city attack, and Amphibious, without a strength penalty, and is "OK"; when not pillaging cities, the Buccanneer is less useful than its replacement. But maybe that's the point. However, the Berserker gains a slightly larger relative advantage attacking cities than the Buccaneer (-11% base strength, but only +10% more City Attack than the Berserker's benefit).

If you download the civ, and install it, you should be able to see the picture of the Tavern and what it does in the civipedia, and all the other unique features of the civ.

The purpose of the buccaneer is hit and run... It starts with City Raider and Amphibious at a cost of 1 strength... slighter weaker than a base musketman, but definitely the CR + Amphib give it a serious bonus to contend with.

 

[kochman]

Should I give the buccaneers CR2?
Thing is, I don't want it to become a super powerful force...
If there was a promotion to earn more from pillaging, that would be PERFECT for these guys.

I want to make them better, but not sure how to do it.


Also, I will be adding an arabic leader, to reflect the Barbary Pirates. Already have the LH picked out.
I think I will also tone down the UB, because it is available for so long and never expires... thinking 15%... maybe 10% unit production bonus. Perhaps I can make it only a gunpowder unit production bonus... will have to examine code to see if that is possible.

 

[kochman]

Changed the buccaneer (added Guerilla 1), added Hayreddin Pasha as a leader (Barbary Pirate leader), and added screen shots and data for unique assets.

 

[Dumanios]

Thinking about implementing this into my mod.

 

[kochman]

What mod is that?

 

[Dumanios]

This is it.

 

[kochman]

This is it.

Oh, cool. Well, I am working on a leadheads modpack that will add leader options to existing civs only... perhaps you will want that as well when it is done.
