I am wondering what people think about adding more abilities to hawks. The idea is building upon the rock raven from FF that can bombard units. Many times in the game it seems that little things can make huge differences. Giving more abilities to hawks even if minor may make things awesome.
Ideas:
1. Import the rock raven for some civs to use. (may need to drop the power, can't remember how strong it was)
2. A vulture with a scavenge ability. This is a circle flight to give some added visibility and can find a carcass. This heals 1 unit 5%. The vulture is only for undead civs or meat eating civs (e.g. calabim, scions, ngomele, sheaim, sadir, ect.)
3. A phoenix for magic civs like the new asian civ, and amurites. The phoenix has a fireball like ability that is more powerful than the rock raven, but still very weak damage.
4. A parrot that has the ability to see what is being produced in a city.
5. An Eagle for some civs who has the ability to intercept and a chance (40%? 60%?) to kill other birds that fly within range.
6. A condor a giant bird that can carry the master unit a few spaces. (like a teleporter) But the bird must rest after so cannot be used for another 3 turns. Both units are lost if the eagles get them.
7. A sea gull or albatross - has greater visibility and range over the ocean.
8. Macaw - a gold hunter bird. Has a chance to find a gold piece per flight.
These are a few ideas to get started. I know there are other priorities for right now... but down the road I think more flavor for hawks would be fun.
