Separating AI Religious Combat Bonus from AI Military Combat Bonus

[Trigan Emperor]

I was thinking of doubling AI Combat Bonus to make warfare against the AI harder. Trouble is, it also affects AI Combat Bonus in Religious Combat, which I think would make things too tough, since one can't use Ranged units to reduce religious units' strength.

Is there a way to separate these these two bonuses, so one could mod military AI Combat Bonus without it affecting Religious Combat Bonus? I'm guessing there isn't, but I thought I'd ask.

I think doubling AI Combat Bonus would not be enough.

Here's otherwise equal combat between Warriors, with the AI at +10 Combat Bonus.

Highest in vanilla Civ VI (Deity) is +4 Combat Bonus. + 10 Combat Bonus is the difference between a regular unit and a Corps.

I'd like to try out this difficulty.

Boosting AI Combat Strength has made warfare with the AI much more challenging, which is good.

One issue is that city-states do not get this advantage. So, in the vanilla game, one is equal against city-state units whatever difficulty one is using. It would be good if city-state units' Combat Strength increased at the same rate as AI civs' units. A related issue is that I don't know whether AI civs' Combat Strength bonus only counts against the human player, or against city-states as well.

Attach the modifier to the City-State base traits.

There is a "Unit is non-religious" if you want to prevent it from attaching itself on any Religious Units. Not sure if it counts Warrior Monks among them though

Thanks I was able to do it with the following code:

    <TraitModifiers>
        <Row TraitType="MINOR_CIV_DEFAULT_TRAIT" ModifierId="HIGH_DIFFICULTY_COMBAT_SCALING"/>
    </TraitModifiers>

Thanks, that's good to know, although I decided that it worked well to let religious units get the bonus as well.
