Possible to block a unit for a specific Civ ?

[Shirotora Kenshin]

Is it possible ? I want to achieve that Civ 1 can recruit a Chariot for example, but Civ 2 cannot recruit that chariot...would be very interesting for me.

Thanks in advance

Maybe mixing with production screens.

If not, an ugly way to do it is to replace that unit for civ2, but cant be built adding it to a dummy tech that no one can get.

Thanks for the response

yeah, that replacing thing is a good idea. Civ2 could have a completely different unit instead of the chariot...but this have to be a UU, which is not that optimal, but ok.

It is possible now in R&F using the Modifier that blocks building Settlers on that one dark age policy.

You have to add each unit one by one as a Modifier. The code below from my Combined Tweaks mod blocks the Aztecs from building any Light or Heavy Cavalry units prior to the Modern era by creating a bunch of Modifiers using temporary tables. You don't have to be this complex with it, I just wanted to make sure to block any modded in units in addition to base ones, so I had to create a table. Instead you could just skip that step and specify which units to block by name, if you wanted to.

CREATE TABLE tblQuoAztecsHorseUnits AS
select unittype, technologies.eratype from units
inner join technologies on technologies.TechnologyType = units.PrereqTech
where promotionclass in  ("PROMOTION_CLASS_HEAVY_CAVALRY","PROMOTION_CLASS_LIGHT_CAVALRY") AND EraType in ("ERA_ANCIENT", "ERA_CLASSICAL", "ERA_MEDIEVAL", "ERA_RENAISSANCE", "ERA_INDUSTRIAL") AND TraitType IS NULL

union

select unittype, civics.EraType from units
inner join civics on civics.CivicType = units.PrereqCivic
where promotionclass in  ("PROMOTION_CLASS_HEAVY_CAVALRY","PROMOTION_CLASS_LIGHT_CAVALRY") AND EraType in ("ERA_ANCIENT", "ERA_CLASSICAL", "ERA_MEDIEVAL", "ERA_RENAISSANCE", "ERA_INDUSTRIAL") AND TraitType IS NULL;



INSERT INTO Modifiers
    (ModifierId, ModifierType, RunOnce, Permanent, OwnerRequirementSetId, SubjectRequirementSetId)
SELECT 'QUO_AZTECS_CANNOT_BUILD_' || tblQuoAztecsHorseUnits.UnitType, 'MODIFIER_PLAYER_UNIT_BUILD_DISABLED', 0, 0, NULL, NULL
    FROM tblQuoAztecsHorseUnits;


INSERT INTO ModifierArguments
    (ModifierId,             Name,         Type,             Value,             Extra,     SecondExtra)
SELECT 'QUO_AZTECS_CANNOT_BUILD_' || tblQuoAztecsHorseUnits.UnitType,     'UnitType',     'ARGTYPE_IDENTITY',     tblQuoAztecsHorseUnits.UnitType,            NULL,     NULL
    FROM tblQuoAztecsHorseUnits;

  
INSERT INTO TraitModifiers
    (TraitType,             ModifierID)
SELECT 'TRAIT_CIVILIZATION_LEGEND_FIVE_SUNS',    'QUO_AZTECS_CANNOT_BUILD_' || tblQuoAztecsHorseUnits.UnitType
    FROM tblQuoAztecsHorseUnits
        WHERE EXISTS (SELECT Civilizations.CivilizationType FROM Civilizations WHERE Civilizations.CivilizationType = 'CIVILIZATION_AZTEC' ) ;
