These will all be fixed in the next version.
Something like this is probably best, so the cargo units cannot cast spells, for example. But I'll tackle that after the next release.
I personally just gave hawks a starting promotion of perfect sight so that that promotion was useful in a way that wouldn't create a need for a lot more defensive units scattered around just for perfect sight. That said I do believe that perfect sight on a hawk is too early in the game and have plans on creating a hawk v2 for the hawk to upgrade into that has the perfect sight promotion instead.
How odd. For some reason I remember there being a racial variant for the hawk unit. A crow or something? But I don't see any reference to it now, either in the manual or the civilopedia. My brain is whack.
Cannot reproduce. Are you using the last version from this thread? You can also report bugs there.
Nope, no smoke. (Also, I've never seen a Mistform spawn from smoke, but maybe I've just been lucky.) It seems like a lot of Mistforms to have spawned (with a named mob) from a dungeon or other lair, but I can't rule it out. It could have been two lairs that coincidentally both spawned Mistforms. *shrug*
That is why I made every explore lair and rob graveyard spell require you to have at least 3 cities before you are allowed to cast it. Too many barbarian doom stacks before I had anything better than warriors.
So I guess I can't swear to it but I really want to say that I've seen barbarian mistforms enter cultural borders but since I changed explore lair a couple years ago I just can't say for certain anymore.
This is the first game I've started since the last patch. I'll keep you informed.
These ones definitely respected my borders. Otherwise that game'd be long over by now.

eval(spell.getPyMiscast())This explanation just became more plausible. I just got the smoke-mistform event in that same game, and it's only about turn 150. I've only ever had the smoke-mistform event once or twice before in any other playthrough. Granted, I never saw any smoke around the time of those first mistform attacks, but those mistforms prevented me from exploring the area they seemed to have spawned from for at least 20 turns. Oh, and I do have the map option on that increases events, so there's that. Or maybe I'm just having the weirdest string of luck.
This seems generally better than just preventing strong spawns early on, as you cannot just clear lairs early without danger. However I'm not sure I like the 3 cities requirement as such. BTW, I think the strongest a graveyard can spawn is a spectre, so there's probably no need to change that.
Yes, but this requires savegame-breaking changes (if done properly), so it might not make it into the next release.
Yes, I'll expose them. It seems I should check out your helpShowSummonDetails and maybe include it in MNAI-U if it does what the name suggests.

return lPerksIMO barbarian technology would be a better requirement since that is based on the average civilization's technology but city count was a quick and dirty way for me to implement it especially since I also didn't know what technologies I wanted to allow them to work. I've never taken the time to figure out just what triggers epic and non-epic lairs but that would be really nice to know in game. Also I've lost a couple cities to spectre's fear early game. Having no counter to fear for quite some time makes them a pretty strong unit early game.
I like the clearing close stuff thing in the first few turns but IMO it should also toss up a count down timer like universal peace does at the beginning. I also think Guardians of Pristin Pass should not be spawnable in the starting area. I also blocked the ability to explore lairs if it was inside someone else's cultural borders mostly because I sometimes like to use them for experience fodder and friendly units were destroying them in my own lands. That is the reason that Tholal changed the dll to no longer have lairs auto explored when npc's walk on them because when I made that change I found out it wasn't working like I wanted.
Yes. I might some day port the XML-based unit spawning system from Extramodmod, but not in the near future.
Is this really necessary? I think currently something like immunity to disease is handled just fine as a promotion that some units might start with.
Yes.
That should be possible, although I never heard of FoundDisabled before, to be honest.
