nice one!
hope it will be available soon to others to incorporate in their modpacks ... good addition ^^

If you're going to have a building called The Apothecary Shop, I would suggest having something else replace Persia's UB (the Apothecary).

Does the doctor specialist provide health?

No. I chose to leave health as a feature of the prerequisite buildings for the Medics:

1. Healer's Hut - provides city with +1 Health
2. Apothecary Shop - provides city with +2 Health
3. Hospital - provides city with +3 Health

However, the doctor specialist does provide a city with +1 Food, +1 Research and +3 Birth Rate; which allows a city to grow faster than it normally would without a doctor.

Note: The Medics and the Great Doctor all help other units to heal faster. I thought this mix would be more balanced.

Any thoughts?
 
The normal building have a major flaw: the points towards great doctor.

Unless they are national wonders or are restricted like they are (1 per civ), you will want to build them in every city (health bonus) and soon enough you wont have any great people diferent from great healers poping out.

I think you should remove those points and just add "specialist slots" for the doctor city specialist, like 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively (in the order you put the buildings, includint the nat. won.).

Otherwise, nice idea and implementation.

Cheers

OK I have made all of your changes with one exception. I left the 2 points towards getting a great doctor in the city where the Universal Health Care National Wonder is built. See first post for updated building attributes. The changes appear to be working good and I will post after a few more updates are completed.

Yeah, I said "the normal buildings" cos I've intended for you to leave the Universal Health Care as it was. Nicely done.

Next weekend I'll see if I find time to try you mod.

Oh, and I think you should take away the "medic" promotions from normal units as well (if you didn't do that yet), so the only source of fast healing would be the new units.

Cheers.

I'm reluctant to take away the medic promotions from the normal units. I think battlefield troops can have first aid kits, which provide the capability for these units to administer their own first aid. Having medic units around provides a much greater healing capability than you would have without them.
 
Posted new update to the downloads database. The Doctor city specialist buttons now work properly with BUG. However, the plus and minus buttons are are still slightly out of place (by 3 slots). This does not affect game play. So.... The WoC version is now operational (But still a Beta) and includes the latest changes we have discussed. :)

Now I will work on the standard version, which will be released on the next update.

Note: The standard version specialist buttons show up exactly where they should be. Only the merge with BUG in the WoC version, has the slightly out of place buttons.
