Nice to see there`s been some discussion over the weekend. When I posted this idea I didn`t intend GSU`s to be very powerful or gamebreaking, but to add some more flavour to the various goverments. Also it seems to me as many civ players want more units that are special, like UU. In regard of what happens if a goverment changes or an UU becomes obsolete, I suggest the following: When a goverment cahnges GSU`s should either be disbanded or be changed into their generic counterpart, partisan - guerilla and peacekeeper - infantry etc. I also like the bonus idea associated with each govt. But how about this: Bonus abilities related to govt. You can upgrade a number of special units equal to no of cities. I don`t have very many examples of bonus abilities, but here`s some suggestions:
- free pillage (communism, despotism)
- makes unhappy citizen content
- enslave (faccism, communism)
- hidden nationality
-amphibious
-double terrain bonus in certain terrain
And probably many more inventive ideas than mine. But such abilities would not make units obsolete or era - specific the same way as my first suggestion did.
