Giving use to "East Winds".

[Isotope]

Hello.
I don't know if this has been considered earlier but I think that making a new trait for Lanun and Austrin (something like "Sealord" or "Sailor", "Wind favoured", "Gifted by the winds"...) which would give the "East Winds" promotion to all the ships would somehow flavourize theese civs, in the same way it has been done with dexterous and sinister in fall from heaven 0.40.

The Austrin should already be getting that promotion on their ships - which is what the promotion is for (Auster is literally "East Wind" and where their name came from).

		if pPlayer.getCivilizationType() == gc.getInfoTypeForString('CIVILIZATION_AUSTERIN'):		
			if unit.getUnitCombatType() == gc.getInfoTypeForString('UNITCOMBAT_NAVAL'):		
				unit.setHasPromotion(gc.getInfoTypeForString('PROMOTION_EASTWINDS'), True)

Is it not currently working?

It works (or so I remember) but I thout about a sea flavoured trait for lanun and austrin (both would get it, or only austrin) which would also boost ( or not) harbors (instead of expansive trait) and shipyards.
I mean doing the same that was done with dexterous and sinister in ffh 0.40; linking the promotion to a trait.

Don't Lanun have a boosted harbor UB?

 

[RogueThunder]

Its almost a disadvantage, but yes, they do.

Lanun also have an extra movement due to their unique starting technology Seafaring. It might be too much if they also automatically got East Winds.

How is it a disadvantage? Compared to the normal harbor it is awesome. I fail to see a downside to it.

Forgot about that. Still, Austrin should get this trait because there's no indication in the game that their ships start with this promotion.

I presume the poster is referring to the fact that it's a prerequisite for building Lanun champions. Which means only coastal cities can build those units. Which kinda sucks.

I don't see the issue. I can build arquebusiers in inland cities.
