Also, another minor fix for you: text for Ship of the Line says it's a ranged unit, that should be melee.
The Ship of the Line is muddled:
- it is a ranged unit, able to fire two hexes.
- its Combat Type in the stats is "Naval Melee Units"
- its Game Info text is "Powerful Enlightenment Era naval ranged unit"
- its Strategy text is "The ship of the line is a melee naval unit of the Enlightenment Era..."
Since it's able to fire two hexes it's a naval ranged unit? If so, what needs to be changed is:
- its Combat Type in the stats changed from "Naval Melee Units" to "Naval Ranged Units"
- its Strategy text to "The ship of the line is a
ranged naval unit of the Enlightenment Era..."
Correct?
EDIT: I think this is where the problem lies. Ship of the Line is in the naval melee units upgrade path and shouldn't therefore have a 2 hex ranged capability.
FURTHER EDITS: Another thing, in In-game Editor, Ship of the Line appears twice, one being among the Ancient Era units.
Plus, Ship of Line has Movement 5, while the English version, First Rate, has movement 4. I think they should be the same, so one is incorrect, although I'm not sure which. Frigate has 5 Movement, so are they supposed to have the same speed as these other ships? We need a nautical expert.
...
From Wikipedia's page on Frigate:
In the 17th century, this term was used for any warship built for speed and maneuverability, the description often used being "frigate-built".
Cruiser also has 5 movement, so I'm inclined to say that the First Rate stats are correct and the Ship of the Line stats are wrong, as they are in several other respects.
...
So these are the changes I'm going to implement for Ship of the Line:
- remove its ranged ability as this appears to be an error.
- reduce its movement from 5 to 4
- increase its strength from 30 to 35 (currently, it has strength 30 and ranged strength 35). First Rate has strength 40, plus a couple of special abilities, Looking at other special Civ-specific units, they don't have +33% strength over their regular counterparts, so 35 is a better fit. Frigate has strength 25, with better speed and a ranged ability, so I think 35 is right for the Ship of Line.
- update the Game Info text.
