Hello guys and girls,
I was reading through the forum minding my own business when i read a post about the lack of future units....
This made me realise that theres always room for new units. Why not have more techs and more units? 3x more! 5x more!
How to do this? I would make each military technology have a normal unit and THEN have a "specialization" technology which would unlock another one.
This would mean that the player would have the option of researching more military technologies at the cost of being slowed down in other research.
ex:
bronze working = axeman, ability to cut down trees, barracks, + leads to iron working.
my idea would be to have another tag with bronze working called *specialization* which would not lead to anything but ONLY unlock the special unit:
bronze working + *specialization* = berserker (for example)
this could work for every military tech:
iron working + *sp* = royal guards
horseback riding + *sp* = Mounted archer
chivalry + *sp* = Champions
flight + *sp* = Special Air Service (SAS, SEAL, Commandos, etc...)
i understand balance would be tricky but the tech tree looks quite bare in ciV and this would definitely make things more interesting.
opinions? agree/disagree? troll?
