Proposal: Remove the defense bonus to woodsman and instead make it "you gain +10% CS when in rough terrain"

Rationale: The woodsman promotion is neat but rarely used because you are giving up the raw combat power of a straight CS boost. Its also a deadend promotion so you have to really want to commit to the power. Further, the defensive power of woodsman is a bit in conflict with double movement, generally you want your attackers to be mobile, while your defender stick in a space and hold an area, but then you aren't using the double movement.

Making it a simple +10% CS in rough terrain gives the promotion solid power with some offensive and defensive potential.
 
Note that this change affects every Iroquois unit.
 
Just an observation, Iroquois have been one of the few civs to achieve Domination Victory in recent AI testing.
 
i'm thinking about a proposal to change the iroquois setup ... this double movement for all land units at all times everywhere is stupid. looking for ideas :)
 
Ehhh, I'll sponsor this.
