Note: "Border tiles" count like "river tiles" - both sides of a border are border tiles.

Hussar: unchanged

Rationale:

• The usefulness of resting influence already roughly scales with era - the higher influence numbers late game means the resting influence is slowing down decay more. 200 resting influence is around +9 influence per turn at 1000 influence, and +10 per turn at 1200 influence. Around the same strength as Containment + 5 trade routes towards CS.
• The GP rate is moved to the new Printing Press UNW, which also slightly boosts Great Diplomat generation.
• Schützenstand is now a Military Academy instead of an early-unlock Arsenal. It makes more sense for a shooting guild to be a military building, and its bonuses are closer to Military Academy anyway. You also won't have a weird incentive to build Red Fort for a free early UB. Every unit also gains CS based on the number of marriages (moved from Grenzer).
• Flat CS per marriage is too swingy on the current Grenzer to the point of having to nerf its base CS. The proposed version is a simpler unit that capitalizes on its profession of guarding borders, especially when in fortifications (no follow up on kill).

EDIT 1: Counting the from tile for melee unit when attacking is inconsistent with other promotions, so Frontiersman is changed to work on both sides of a border while always counting the battle tile (target tile for melee attacks, current tile for defense and ranged attacks).

@azum4roll What icon are you going to be using for the Printing Press replacement?

 

[pineappledan]

Can can sponsor the UNW art

 

[axatin]

The only DLL requirements are the Schützenkönig and the Frontiersman promotions, right? I can sponsor.

 

[hokath]

There is also the +15% Great Person generation in this City for every active Marriage
This doesn't currently exist on buildings I think?

 

[axatin]

Ah, right, it's moved from UA to building. That shouldn't be difficult to implement.

 

[azum4roll]

Just remember to update EnemyUnitPanel.lua!
