Glorious Gilgamesh Gains - Mod v0.3 06Nov2016

Latest changes:
- Upgrade costs doubled (still cheaper than buying)
- Encampment and Barracks 25% cheaper
- Tomyris healing on kill halved
- Several minor balance changes based on feedback

HIGHLIGHTS:
==================
- Lowered boosts & chopping output
- New Unit (Explorer) & building (Smokehouse)
- Lots of coastal and lake buffs
- Cost of upgrading units roughly doubled
- More housing without fresh water
- More Great People Points for higher tier buildings
- Unique improvement buffs
- Slight unit balance, unique units buffs
- More small changes that simply make sense

Note:
* If you don't like some changes, you can remove the corresponding file from .modinfo(i.e. GGG_Boosts.xml for Boosts nerfs)
* No map related change included to stay compatible with map packs.
* Most in-game descriptions won't update correctly. It's a hassle to fix and is buggy, will do it after a few iterations or a major patch.

Footnotes:
======
Things I haven't found a way to change:
Gold amount when deleting units
Changing base housing for adjacent mountain, tundra, etc.
Artwork for new units without overwriting default files

Things I probably don't want to change in this mod:
Policy cards, governments, great people, map features
Civ6 Design decisions (i.e. unique units do not require resources, most buildings are in districts, etc.)

Next Steps:
======
Some balancing based on actual data
Changing factories to be smoother instead of a hard limit at 6 tiles
Experiment with conditional buffs (i.e. Spearman +5str if your empire has Iron + ironworking)
Fail then get bored and quit for a month
Funky requirements for funky units (i.e. require trading posts for explorers, relic for crusaders)

Disclaimer: Feel free to use anything in there in your own mod.

Great Mod. I like all the changes. Only the name fits not right, i think. First i thought the mod is something about the Gilgamesh Leader and not a complete Overhaul. Glad i was curious. Thank you.
