Changes to Founding Fathers

[TheSpaceCowboy]

Outlined below are changes I’d like to see implemented to America’s Civilization Unique Ability, Founding Fathers, preferably in the next expansion pack, but even as a mod if need be. Essentially, I’d actually utilize seven of the Founders as Governor replacements to the seven generic governors in the game. I don’t have all of their promotions outlined, but I do have a solid start.
