[Module] Lanun Workboat

[Riot_Starter]

Here is a little module that I made for my own personal use, but I'm uploading it for those who are interested. The motivation was this: the new ability to make fishing and whaling boats on every water tile is great, but I realized that the Lanun, who are the masters of the sea, were so bad at making all those water tiles useful. They have to spend tons of turns cranking out workboats to sacrifice for every single tile.

This simple module just adds a unique workboat replacement for the Lanun. It is triple the cost (90 hammers - the Kuriotate wyrmfisher is the same cost), but does not have to sacrifice itself to make anything. Instead it builds everything like a normal worker. Each improvement (fishing boat, whaling boat, and pirate cove) each take 4 turns to complete with 1 boat. All the other civs' method for improving water is unchanged, although I'm torn on whether this method should be made universal.

So just place into your NormalModules folder. The only thing it force overwrites is the pirate cove build order, so it should play nicely with pretty much everything.

You know, you'd think this is something I'd have thought of already.

Mind if I include this in the next patch?

Sure, go right ahead.
