ecoterrorism

[Voltron81]

I am planning in my mod to have an ecoterrorism side.

I am going to throw some of this out there and see if anyone thinks it is possible.

I would like to make an artillery unit that can effectively seed jungle. Bombard a square of an enemy destroying all improvements and creating a jungle in its place. (cannot target cities, water, desert, units[maybe damage], mountains)
[I figure this would be devastating to their economy and jungle will take longer to recover from]

Another unit i want to make is an eco "nuke" - same principle. "nuke" a city except no pollution count, the city is wiped, the jungle is spread like the fallout would. [however this concludes with a major diplomatic drop not just with the nation in question, but the everyone] I would also like the maintenance a lot higher on them if possible. Maybe even having them would be a diplomatic penalty. Can only target cities.

I was also tinker with the idea of a bomber with the artillery capability but i liked the idea of the artillery unit better.

I also tinkered with the idea of the ecobomb to be a missle rather than icbm. I am on the fence with this. I like the thought of the next stage of nuclear icbms but a missle requires more strategy than build it in the city and launch.

It is an interesting idea, but to make it really interesting you should couple it with a civic or something so that it can be a strategy. Like enviromentalism but global and military oriented. Maybe a tech enables a custom improvement for jungles? Or Jungles spread your culture?

The custom improvements for a jungle is a good idea. I have already reworked the civics, though i want to do more to them. (i have been working on creating things to make useless terrian not so useless such as desert etc...)I need to find a mod that shows how to do scrollable civics.

I cannibalized civic mobilization. Using their screen civics to add an additional civic section. Though I redid to be called Info systems. (Verbal, Pony express, paper, digital, virtual) So you can have a virtual democracy, virtual monarchy etc...

As for the units themselves, i was going to let them be like missionaries. The would be a branch of the tech tree that starts off finding a new religion (environmental Evangelism) A building or two would produce these units. The religion would obviously have to be present.

I am not real satisfied with the units i have found (not that they are bad, just not quite what i want in my mod) so I am going to try to 3d max some models. However, I know i am not a great texture creator, so if anyone is interested in doing some textures once i create these units, let me know.
