Disable Civ Unique Unit

[Sailor Cat]

Kinda lost motivation with artist falling through, but still working here and there. Was wondering if it's possible to disable a civ's unique unit. Want to make an alt leader that doesn't have it.

Since since your alternate leader would necessarily load after the civilization, wouldn't the simplest thing simply be to insert a line deleting the unique unit at the beginning of your mod? Of course, the drawback is that if you wanted to play with any other leaders who use the unit you would have to disable your mod.

Actually, scratch that. Insert code at the beginning of your mod that changes the unit you want to delete from a civilization ability to a leader ability and attach it to the existing leader.

Is that possible with a Firaxis civ? And how would I go about doing it if so?

Best I can think of is using REMOVE for the civilization, but not sure how to approach it or the right context to be honest.

Thanks for the replies, bud.

What's the unit you are trying to remove?

UNIT_PERSIAN_IMMORTAL

Really all you should need to do is this:

DELETE FROM CivilizationTraits
WHERE TraitType = 'TRAIT_CIVILIZATION_UNIT_IMMORTAL';

INSERT INTO LeaderTraits (LeaderType, TraitType)
    VALUES
        ('LEADER_CYRUS', 'TRAIT_CIVILIZATION_UNIT_IMMORTAL');

This changes it from a civilization ability to a leader ability, so the unit will not show up for alternate leaders.

BEGONE WRETCHED IMMORTALS!

That's one issue down, but one I was most worried about. Thanks for sharing your experience!
