Overview History
This mod is designed for those who feel there just aren't enough units fighting during a war in Civilization IV. The solution: Change the cost of the units so they're cheaper. Veterans of Civilization III will notice that the new unit costs are based on the CivIII costs, but modified slightly where necessary for balance. All units except the Carrier, Stealth Bomber, and ICBM cost less than they previously did.

New Building Costs:

Barracks: 40 shields (from 60)
All others have not changed.

Instructions: Download the .zip file, unzip the contents (folder should be named "More Military Units", and move the "More Military Units" folder with all its contents to C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Civilization IV\Mods\, or wherever you installed Civilization IV.

Any feedback is welcome. I haven't tested this extensively, just made sure it works, so despite my logic when I created this there may be some balance of power issues. Here are some things I'm almost certain will happen, and a few others that will be different from vanilla CivIV.

Spoiler :

Expected Gameplay Changes (things to prepare for):
*Ancient and medieval era units will be more common be about 30-40%
*Modern units will be 30-80% more common due to lower costs
*Wars can be started earlier and losses can be replaced quicker
*Technology becomes more important with relatively lower unit costs (those tanks and planes will be coming just a little bit quicker!)
*It is cheaper to upgrade units (it'll feel like having Leonardo's Workshop from CivIII!)

Possible Gameplay Changes (as a result of changes)
*Changes in value of Artillery Stacks of Doom
*Slightly lower Axeman value due to costing the same as Swordsman and more than Spearman
*Higher Maceman value due to costing closer to what crossbows and longbows cost
*Slightly lower War Elephant value
*Lesser advantage for the Cossack over the Cavalry than in regular Vanilla CivIV
*Increased use of Machine Guns due to not upgrading to SAMs
*Unit Support Costs becoming much higher than usual (not sure how this will interfere/help AI strategy)


Have fun!
