[Database] - (8-07a) Brazil with unique Research Lab

https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/8-07-4uc-brazil.690033/ There was a lot of talk about Brazil so let me get the ball rolling. I'm hoping for other suggestions. I know very little about the country so this design is purely gameplay-driven. Here's my analysis: New Unit - Amazonas (replaces...

At the moment the Amazonas UU uses the Steam Frigate icon from JFD's Two Sicilies mod.
As I have plans to make a Two Sicilies mod for VP in a foreseeable future, I would like to ask the favour if in the implementation phase this icon could be used instead (Ironclad UU from this Argentina mod, I edited in the Brazilian flag).

Icon dds files in attachment.

Edit 10Aug: I tweaked the Brazilian flag a bit.
Edit 11Aug: added flag and strategic view icons taken from JFD's Brazil (Pedro I) Ironclad UU. Graphic model is taken from here (same as steam frigate btw).

EMBRAPA has nothing to do with oil, uranium and aluminum. If it's to mirror real life it should enhance Camps, Farms, Cattle and Horses. And unless it's for gameplay balance purposes the civ shouldn't have any military bonus at all.

The bonuses for oil, uranium and aluminum are the same that the base Research Lab provides, and is there for the same reason the Celtic Ceilidh Hall has bonuses to Ivory: to make sure the UB is strictly better than what it is replacing.

I think free Blitz is a bit OP. You can get to Vanguard + Dauntless really fast and wreck cities. Being immune to Boarded means it'll always go for the Hull line anyway.

Unless we turn on the no double XP flag
