Also I have a few requests I want to get off my chest if we're airing them. I want to say beforehand I appreciate the work thor has put into this mod, however, and that as part of the fact I'm working on a civ iv mod now, that as long as you point me in how to do it, I'll try to do these myself if it helps
1. As per terra, I would like a change of traits. Besides me, there are two other people with the very same trait combination as me (cha/pro), and there's trait combos not used.
I asked Wouter, Terra, and Lec what traits they would give me based off of my IOT discussions, and it was enlightening. Terra and Lec both agree I should be cha/agg, not even knowing that's a free slot, and wouter suggest agg/imp (currently used by christos btw)
I was taken aback by that; I never really considered myself that aggressive in IOTs. But I believe that while a single person who calls you a butthole is a butthole, if everyone calls you a butthole then you're the butthole, and independently all three came with Agg so lol I guess I am aggressive. Also it synergies well with my watchtower UB (which also synergies with my Stalin AI. That 10/10 espionage priority)
With that being said I should be cha/agg.
2. Stormtroopers. I still honestly find their main bonus (withdraw chance) kind of insulting to why I am such an imperial german fangirl in WW1 (Stormtroopers should be doing the literal opposite of running away). I know we had this argument in the past, about what I wanted out of the unit (a bonus vs garrisions/ignore enemy garrison bonus, or barring that the ability to ignore enemy tile defense bonuses) was impossible, even when I suggested alternatives. And now I realized today, after looking at christos's UU, that it does basically what I originally wanted to boot!
Can you remove the withdraw chance, and replace it with christos's crossbow's ability to bombard city defense? It doesn't even need the damage stack part, just the city defense. That would perfectly represent them storming trenches, and not running away from them. Or even just a straight bonus vs cities like one of RC's UUs.
3. I still would like to go ahead and replace the feminist unit art with the set I initially suggested. I agree the current female swordsman in particular is a really nice unit, and that could be a great bonus unit in general like the peacekeeper is, but I just think overall that the set I found is better.
4. I still feel weird having 3 UUs while everyone else has two. Not that I only want to have two, but I am getting unfair preferential treatment imo. Should we consider letting others take a third unit if they want?
5. I see Assad's favorite religion is not islam. You should probably change that.
6. Add Lucinaism
