I'm working on an entrance into Civ4 modding with my own civilization, the Vatican.
I've got two leaders plotted out (Urban II and Innocent II), a UB plotted out (a bank that becomes available at Theology), and a UU... that I'm stuck on.

The UU will be a Templar, replacement for the Knight. But I don't know what to do to make it different than a Knight.
I wanna give it city raider 1, but I don't think that's available to mounted units. Sucks, because that fits them perfectly.

Thoughts?

As an aside: Innocent will be Spiritual/Organized while Urban shall be Spiritual/Imperialistic.
If anyone isn't too familiar with popes, Innocent II is the man who proclaimed that the templar didn't have to abide by the laws of man, and Urban II called for the first crusade.

Yes I know the Vatican isn't a civilization but I feel it's had quite a major impact on history. For city names, I thought I'd go with conquered cities and major cities with heavy Vatican influence.
 
in the unitinfos file, copy the knight entry and change Type to UNIT_TEMPLAR, then replace <FreePromotions/> with the following for the city raider promotion:
Code:
<FreePromotions>
  <FreePromotion>
    <PromotionType>PROMOTION_CITY_RAIDER1</PromotionType>
    <bFreePromotion>1</bFreePromotion>
  </FreePromotion>
</FreePromotions>

next in civ4civilizationinfos under the desired civ, find the Units tag and add:
Code:
<Unit>
  <UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_KNIGHT</UnitClassType>
  <UnitType>UNIT_TEMPLAR</UnitType>
</Unit>
 
Ah, thank you so much.
I was worried since it wasn't a mounted promotion, that I wouldn't be able to assign it to them.
 
You can freely assign promotions to any unit in the field. I once had battleships with the Ace promotion :cool:
