This looks great.

But can you make the great people being capturable a separate mod?

Looks interesting, will try it out.

With the winter patch making it possible to add icons and artdefs without users having to replace core files. As illustrated in this guide. Is it possible to apply to this mod to eliminate the need to overwrite files? I love this idea but the need to overwrite base files is a bit off putting.

I've been enjoying this mod so I thought I should share that the upgrade from Ranger to Sniper does now work. There is a simple fix.

REMOVE from Recon.sql:
UPDATE UnitUpgrades SET UpgradeUnit = 'UNIT_SNIPER' WHERE Unit = 'UNIT_RANGER';

ADD to Recon_Data.xml (Alongside the entry for the Explorer):
<UnitUpgrades>
<Row Unit="UNIT_RANGER" UpgradeUnit="UNIT_SNIPER"/>
</UnitUpgrades>
