Natan35's Design Workshop!

Thought I'd make an American design

United States of America(Theodore Roosevelt)
UA: Big Stick
Enemy cities will have less strength and will be instantly assimilated upon conquest if their owner is unhappy. After adopting an ideology, city states will not be angered by trespassing units and tributing them would grant you golden age points.

UU: Rough Rider
Radically different to the Landship is replaces, the Rough Rider is a mounted unit, and requires horses instead of oil. While being initially weaker, with base strength of 45, it gains a 20% combat bonus in foreign lands which is further increased to +33% strength inside city state territory. Has the Drill I promotion.

UB: National Park
Unlike the garden is replaces, the National park requires the city to have at least one forest or jungle tile inside its working range, rather than a source of fresh water. Grants +1 culture from forests and +3 culture from national wonders. +2 tourism during golden ages, or +3 if the city has a natural wonder.

 

Celtic Ireland

UA: The Divides That Bind
Civilizations (minor and major) grant you High king points upon meeting, and the cost of Religious buildings and units is reduced for each one you know. Religious buildings cost no maintenance, and grant the yields of a random cultural specialist during golden ages.

UU: High King

UU: Hibreno Scottish Monk
Replaces missionary. May be consumed in order to found a mission in foreign territory (max. 1 per civ). Missions exert pressure for your religion on the nearest city, and grant a sum of golden age points when a citizen in it converts to your religion. After the entire city is converted to your religion, the mission will grant extra food to your nearest city and will give you +2 faith per turn.

 

April fools day civ! (Almost a week to late )

United States of America(Donald J. Trump)
UA: Make America Great Again
Forts grant +1 culture and golden age points, and their maintenance costs are paid by the nearest civilization. The maintenance and construction costs of buildings and improvements are reduced by a percentage equal to the number of citizens in the nearest foreign city.

Replaces Hotel. In addition to its abilities, grants tourism equal to 50% of the gold yields of buildings and tile improvements worked by the city, and costs no maintenance.

UU: Thirty Three
Replacing the Rifleman, the thirty three unit receives +1% strength for each city owned by the enemy when inside its territory, doubled of the enenmy is unhappy or has a negative GPT output (bonuses stack). When adjacent to units of friendly civilizations \ city states, the thirty three and the adjacent units gain +5 HP per turn, even if performing an action.

UU: Caudillo
Replaces great general. While not granting any bonuses right away it may fight like your strongest infantry unit (up until the industrial era), and it generates culture from kills within its range. Grants +1% strength for each policy you adopt.

 

A split of sorts

Seventeen Provinces(William the Silent)
UA: Orange Revolutionaries
Your cities cannot be blockaded, and they will grant you great general points when building or purchasing military units. Units acquired before the Renaissance era will have no maintenance cost in friendly territory after entering it, and units purchased after entering the Renaissance era will start with an extra promotion.*

Additionally, the Stadtholder will generate a small sum of gold when a unit levels up, doubled if the unit is within his range.

A result of a... Particularly boring summer vacation #GTAV:

State of San Andreas
UA: State of the Saints
Completing buildings grants production towards units, based on the era and the city's gold output. Military and Economical buildings yield science per every incoming trade route, as well as granting XP to newly built units in their city for each internal trade route to or from it.

UB: Cult Stronghold
Replaces Castle. Unlike it, grants extra strength for each era passed, which counts towards a science modifier once you enter the modern era. Additionally, the Cult Stronghold yields +1 culture for every trade route sent to or from the city.

#Nostalgia

Stargate Command (Jack O'Neil)

Trading with civilizations less advanced than your own grants you extra gold as well as other yields, while trading with civilizations more advanced than your own grants you more science than usual.

UU: Space Marines
Replaces Paratrooper. However, it may paradrop double the usual amount of tiles, and attack after doing so. Furthermore, it starts with all scouting promotions avaliable, to compensate for requiring a Stargate to be built.

Replaces Airport. Unlike it, the Stargate costs no maintenance while there are no units in the city, in addition to increasing the range of all Trade units by +200%. Airlifts via Stargate do not consume the unit's movement points, but double its maintenance for the turn.


Alternate Components

Spoiler :

UU: SG Team
Replaces Great general/ Great admiral, but only retains their combat bonus. Being a land combat unit, the SG team has combat strength equal to the strongest trainable infantry unit (max. 60 ) which isn't reduced while embarked. It may also exacavate an antiquity site without being consumed.
