Whoops; forgot that it was a Rifleman promotion.....yes?
Are you suggesting they shouldn't get the free promotion that the basic Rifleman gets?

Could you give the longship the ability to found cities like a cross between the conquistador and the Nau? Or would the lack of a) land units to defend and potentially b) inability to choose where to found, make this suggestion DoA?I replicated the error. For now I will just can that bonus. Maybe we can think of something else at another time, but the early unlock, move after attack and free blockade promotion stand on their own for now.
v74:
- Reworked
- Adds the Amazonas as the unique unit for Brazil, replacing the Pracinha
- Adds the Stormtrooper as the unique unit for Germany, replacing the Ulfhedinn
- Bugfixes
- lua fix for Latifundia
- small text fixes
All I know is that having promos carry over through Swords -> Shneckt --> Storm, is going to leave you with some absolutely menacing Infantry.Guys looks like we're moving Germany into Z tier now
they don't really have any synergy with their UA now (speaking about your tweaks)
The blood and iron rework is a major buff, so much that I’ve already nerfed the friend/ally rewards and it’s still probably too strong. Giving Germany extremely cheap/free units until medieval is not going to help with balancing that.Guys looks like we're moving Germany into Z tier now

edit edit: I'm also a firm believer that the Modern era is for ideology units, and the Pracinha is stacked with Order's Guerilla. Germany's old UU1 was also a modern-era base unit (tank), but it wasn't stacked on an existing ideology unit.
No, the stormtrooper is a modern era Rifleman replacement. It upgrades into the Infantry unit in Atomic, or Guerilla if you have adopted Order.Is the Stormtrooper now stacked with Order's Guerilla? If so, is that bad?
If you wanted a non-stacked Modern German unique that fits with Bismarck's kit I'd choose the U-Boat and give it the Blockade promotion(among others)*. That way you could spend Gold and Production to rush out a U-Boat fleet, declare on your biggest rivals, destroy their maritime economies without taking their cities(to avoid warmonger score), then use the money you stole to buy votes in the World Congress, buy diplo units, pay for your rivals to war each other, etc.
Make a calculated investment to enrich yourself to win a diplo victory and cripple your enemies without being labelled a warmonger.
*I've forgotten that Submarines don't come until Atomic era in Vox Populi. To fix this, the German U-Boat is super early at the beginning of the Modern Era.
I have left the ulfhedinn in the code so you can reactivate it if you prefer. Same as I did with the Egyptian khopeshNot gonna lie, I'm gonna miss the Ulfhedinn. While Germany may be a young country, the Germanic people have been around at least as long as the Romans and that UU was an acknowledgement of that. But I can understand replacing the Ulfhedinn with the Stormtroopers.

I got a really hostile reaction from people when I suggested the U-boat in another thread.
Or it could expend itself to create a settler, similar to the Philipino Balangay?Could you give the longship the ability to found cities like a cross between the conquistador and the Nau?

They will still be much weaker than the Panzer that got deleted.All I know is that having promos carry over through Swords -> Shneckt --> Storm, is going to leave you with some absolutely menacing Infantry.
Stormtroopers fine but comes too lateThey will still be much weaker than the Panzer that got deleted.
Any chance to get the Panzer back insted of the stormtrooper?
The plan is for @amateurgamer88's new ideologies mod to add the T-34 as a unique tank for the Order tree, and making the base tank use the panzer model/iconThey will still be much weaker than the Panzer that got deleted.

Well, in my current game (standard speed/settings, King diff) I'm sitting on 35 Sknecht as I upgrade into Fusilier -- this is what survived after taking 3 cities in a war, and what I could pump out before swords obsolete at Gunpowder -- and I'm Progress, so no Authority unit prod bonus. I also didn't buy a single Sknecht... I could've theoretically bought another 15 Swordsmen if my iron supply allowed. Some of the units were even gifted as unique Kris Swordsmen, so they have yet another layer of unique promotions! I'm probably going Order, so if they all become Troopers -> Guerilla, then that's a wrap.Stormtroopers fine but comes too late
Sure you can have insane promotion guys but will they survive for long enough?
