Sponsor's notes and questions:

(8-34):
To prevent disincentive of not leveling up before upgrading into Cacador and for the sake of AI, the Fighting Cock promotion will be implemented to apply the promotions retroactively to existing levels on gaining the promotion.
Gained promotions will not check whether the unit can naturally gain them, but will check for prereq promotions, if there are any.

(8-34a):
I refuse to add the Trailblazer promotions to UNITCOMBAT_ARCHER, due to the potential adverse effects on modmods (especially Promotion Tree).
Instead, there will be a UnitPromotion_AllowedPromotions (PromotionType, AllowedPromotionType) table that does the same thing, and Cacador will get the Fighting Cock promotion that does nothing but allows picking Trailblazer line promotions, as well as free Trailblazer I as proposed.

(8-34b):
By "all owned units", does that also include civilians? This needs a clearer definition.

 

[hokath]

On (8-34b) I would say all units would exclude civilians since they don't generally receive promotions, and the normal methods are unwieldy for Great Scientist, Merchant, etc. Though, perhaps we should have combatclasses for them anyway since different mods do it different and it would be good to centralize.

 

[gwennog]

This is not the only reason why I voted for Hinin's proposal but the ç (C cedilla) is very important in the name of Caçadores, for a French person at least .

 

[azum4roll]

If the ç character can be shown in the game, I can implement it as Caçador. No plural though (and we should change Comanche Riders and Bandeirantes too).
