Gradual Unit Upgrades Idea

[YuenHsiaoTieng]

In a game with so few unit eras (musketmen to WW1 era infantry? seriously?), I think it might be a nice idea to smooth things out. What if each technology, after the prerequisite, gave units of that type +1 combat strength?

Any ideas on how to make a mod like this?

you could make it so they get a bonus based on certain strategic resources.

Something I have been considering.

I am looking at an approach like you mention for improvements, since you know looger employ workers for eons, I figure making the improvements upgrade more often instead of needing to be replaced.
