Mod Idea: Recon units start with the ability to see 3 tiles

Recon units have an innate advantage in line of site range.

Since this mod is very easy to do, I was able to do it. It is called "Recon LOS+" in the steam workshop.

It allows all recon classes, including unique units, to start with +1 to the distance of their base "line of sight" range. I did not block the change from affecting barbarian recon units. This mod will increase how effective your recon units can explore and find tribal villages and natural wonders, but rival civilizations also benefit and barbarian scouts should also be able to spot your city quicker and can potentially "stealth" locate your city, without setting off an alarm. That is the trade off.

It would be better if this didn't affect barbarian recon units. This mod changes the barbarian aspect of the game.
