Era Uniques
This is my first attempt at a mod, so any feedback is welcome.
The goal of this mod is to add unique units to each civ so that they have a unique unit for each of the eras in the game. I really wanted to add more color to the civs so that it feels more like you're playing that civ throughout the whole game.
I did come up with some guidelines for how I would go about designing the new UUs. Obviously they would be based on existing units, and because I have no artistic talent, they will use the existing graphics. I also made sure I didn't increase a units power by more then the same effect of 2 promotions, in a lot of cased I just used promotions. This falls into line with what the existing UU's are like. Lastly, I made sure that I wouldn't use more then 2 of the same type of units (mounted, gunpowder, etc).
As it stands, I've only completed 8 of the civs, but I'll continue to work through all them, posting updates as I complete them. While I would welcome all feedback and suggestions, I probably won't act on them until I've completed all the civs, unless its very serious.
Lastly, my main goal is to learn how to mod more then anything, so expect mainly mistakes! 8)
Hope you all enjoy!
