Capturing Units

[tchristensen]

I do not believe the ability of the Eagle Warrior (Aztec Empire) works. I have played several long games using this unit and have never received a captured unit. I am supposing they would be a worker, although unsure because I never got it to work.

Is it any unit? is it all civilizations or just the barbarians?

Any military land unit. Settlers, workers, etc can't be enslaved. If enslaving is successful (currently 10% chance) there's even odds you'll get a Settler or Worker. You'll get a message when this happens. I haven't tested it since 1.20 was released but I know it was working at the time. I think you've just been unlucky, but I also set the chance much too low. I'll raise it to 20% or 25% for 1.21 (due this month).

If you want to raise it yourself (or set it to 100% to check if it's working), the setting is in HR.py, right near the top:

iUnitCaptureChance		= 10
iUnitEnslaveChance		= 10

iUnitCaptureChance is for the Berber Corsair, iUnitEnslaveChance is for the Eagle Warrior and Brazilian Bandeirante. Value is a percentage.

I'll give it a go again tonight. Sounds like a real cool idea.
