[Extension] Free Recon Units (Scouts Ignore Borders)

[Cozzolino]

Would it make any sense, and is it possible at all, to make Recon unit ignore border only when the crossed Civ is Friendly or better?

@CppMaster I don't know if it would be good. What about using work boat ability to gather resource on foreign area? For now it cannot enter, so it cannot use its ability.

@Cozzolino It would mae the mod very complicated. Moreover, scouting is very important in the game beginnings. If you set such restriction, then it will be useless when you find new player. How many turns does it take to make friends?

What do you mean? Does work boat can do anything besides improving water tiles in own territory?

I meant improving tiles. Sorry for confussion. I don't know it they are restricted to your tiles only. I will try that later.
What about later units after scout? There were some ideas to restrict them from geting this ability.

You can't. Even if you could, you wouldn't benefit from it, when not in your territory, so still not exploitable

For explorers and zeppelins it's fine. I don't know about parathroopers and x-com... You would have done scouting at this point anyway and border expand won't lock your unit, because everything would be covered. These would mostly be used for surprise pillages and plunders, so it'd be ok if paratroopers and x-coms couldn't enter a territory without open borders.

v2 available.

v2:
- excluded Paratroopers and X-COM Squad,
- now Rival Territory promotion is lost with upgrade,
- added promotion to Workboats.

Just curious why the addition of workboats?

What do you think of giving an ability to cross borders to work boats? It cannot be exploitable in any way and it would fix that annoying problem when you are about to move work boat from another city, but AI founded a city and the path is blocked.

Just because :]

The (ui) Upgrade Tree MOD seems to be broken for Recon units.

I don't know what is the cause, but do you use this? As shown in 1.png/2.png the pathfinder and recon is blank. But for 3.png the warrior is displaying without issues as do other unit lines.

Edit: I posted in https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/promotion-flags-eui.630424/page-2 to try to contact @akamal but it seems he's inactive at the moment.
