It's not a real problem, but it just gives me a feeling that something isn't as it should be.
Stazro said:Prussia: The combination of Panzer and Howitzer gives this civ too much of a 20th century focus, in my opinion. After all, it starts with Frederick II as its first leader. When looking at the seven years war, especially the english speaking world focusses on the fighting in english and french colonies, but for Prussia it marks the maturation into a power to reckon with: Severely outnumbered it prevailed against russian, austrian and french attacks and the discipline of the prussian infantry became an ideal for a generation of european officers. Thus my suggestion: replace either rifleman or grenadier for prussian UU. :
Finally, version 0.1 of the 2nd UU is up. It's on the first post of this thread.
It's for both SVN and the normal download.
You'll notice it isn't complete. There are 3 civs (Poland, Congo, Thailand) with no 2nd UU. Also, the Khmer UU has no unique bonus' yet. Please help with suggestions.
Now I will work on the 2nd UB modcomp. I expect it to be ready next weekend. (However, I proven I'm not good at predicting. So beware)
Sure, could take a while though since I'm currently tracking down a crash which I'm sure you don't want to inherit.
I really like this idea. There would be a certain added synergy for Prussia with a small disciplined riflemen force in the beginning of the 18th century. The hussar idea is good too.
From Wiki said:...were pirates and privateers who operated from North Africa, based primarily in the ports of Tunis, Tripoli and Algiers. This area was known in Europe as the Barbary Coast, a term derived from the name of its Berber inhabitants. Their predation extended throughout the Mediterranean, south along West Africa's Atlantic seaboard and even South America,[1] and into the North Atlantic as far north as Iceland, but they primarily operated in the western Mediterranean. In addition to seizing ships, they engaged in Razzias, raids on European coastal towns and villages, mainly in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, but also in the British Isles, the Netherlands and as far away as Iceland. The main purpose of their attacks was to capture Christian slaves for the Islamic market in North Africa and the Middle East...
The scope of corsair activity began to diminish in the latter part of the 17th century, as the more powerful European navies started to compel the Barbary States to make peace and cease attacking their shipping. However, the ships and coasts of Christian states without such effective protection continued to suffer until the early 19th century. Following the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna in 1814-5 European powers agreed upon the need to suppress the Barbary corsairs entirely and the threat was largely subdued, although occasional incidents continued until finally terminated by the French conquest of Algiers in 1830.
Historian Robert C. Davis estimated that between 1530 and 1780 11.25 million Europeans were captured and taken as slaves to North Africa, principally Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, but also Istanbul and Salé.[21]
They already have the Barbarian Corsair as their 2nd UU. But it replaces the privateer. This is much more fitting IMO.
Corsairs and Privateers existed both in the same era. If the Corsair comes to late, the Privateers does to. And I think for gameplay it's best that the Corsair replaces the Privateer.
I don't see the problem. Pirates are represented by barbarian Triremes and Privateers. That kind of piracy is different than the kind of piracy the Corsair represents.
