I don't think gunpowder units should get first strikes from martial arts. Close combat is something you do after firing for early units or as a last resort for more modern units.
Hmm... I like the idea, but I just can't see much people using the athlete, especially with its -1 food. Of course, you could always make a random event that gives out free Great Athletes?
Here's an idea I had for Sports buildings: the Athlete specialist. Sports buildings would give you 1 or 2 Athlete slots, and some buildings or Wonders (like Flavian Amphitheatre) would give free Athletes. I think the only issue is placing the specialist on the screen - I seem to remember some difficulty with placing Doctor specialists.
The Athlete specialist would give:
- -1 food (Athletes eat a lot)
- +1 happiness (entertain the people)
- +1 XP for new units (having physically-fit people around gives better military unit strength)
Athletes and Wonders could then generate a Great Athlete:
- Settle for +3 happy, +1 XP, +2 culture (don't want to tread on Great Military Instructor)
- Discover sports-related technology
- Build a Sports building
- Start a Golden Age
What do you think?

I think this is a superb idea! In history athletes have been used by the ruling party to entertain the masses. I think the main benefit a Great athlete should provide is happiness and as a secondary role health, since Athletes tend to admire the latest medical advancements of their times to be faster stronger and better.
we can even have Great Doctors who primary role is Health. Since HydromancerX introduced a lot of health buildings this would be a good addition.
The Doctor specialist would give:
- +1 Health
- +1 XP for new units
Doctors and Wonders could then generate a Great Doctor:
- Settle for +3 health, +1 XP, +1 Culture
- Discover health technology
- Build a health building
- Start a Golden Age
We already have Great Doctors and I have not been able to get the specialists working in C2C as it needs a second column in the city screen. I will have another look.
@Vokarya
1. Overall those look good. Think the Star Fort should be a bit more expensive though (like 225).
2. I am not exactly sure on the high explosives part. I was always confused on how that worked.
3. Here are the icon/buttons for them.
4. I assume you will be coding then and just using the buttons I posted below?
5. I have some other Dojos I would like to add that will depend upon those buildings. Thus they will not be so useless in the future. I disagree that they should get a bonus to gunpowder units.
On a side note you can always make "Kung Fu Clockwork Golems".![]()

The discussion about fire fighters made me think. Could some buildigns have slightly weaker clones? Like a secondary fire or police department. Or a second hospital ( for the sake of logic... there is enough health in my cities normaly).
This could help with the abundance of crime and flamability you can get in a large modern city.
I would imagine them to cost as much hammers and gold as the originals, but having a sligtly lesser effect at their purpose and only buildable in cities with metropolitan administration.
Or maybe you have "Police Station" upgrade to "Police Force" when you have metropolitan administration because you now need multiple stations in your city.
