Scouts and early exploration

[peterw1987]

embark promotion should be immediately viable upon research on all unit. I dont like how our faraway scout has to return to home to get embark ability

No idea if it's feasible to code but I'd be cool with keeping the embark as is at Fishing (must enter friendly territory to gain embark) but grant embark to all units on a later tech (Sailing would be my choice). That way you keep some of the risk/reward of early exploration but aren't necessarily stranded for two eras if your land route gets claimed behind you.

You could implement a similar system for ocean crossing as well to spice things up.
