What a good idea!
Which icon is used for this guy, could you add it to the OP?

I'm playing with a change to the Minelayer Promotion, but I should definitely include UNITCLASS_SUBMARINE in that!

Spoiler :

  Mine Field<br>    Overly niche to the extent I rarely both, especially if im on the offensive<br>  -- +2 Science<br>  -- +15 XP for Sea Units<br>  -- Naval Melee Units from this City get the Minelayer promotion<br>  -- Minelayer promotion no longer chosen, and no downside

V3
- Fixed a bug where submarine units could not access the extra promotion line
-Fixed a bug where naval ranged units could not access the Supply promotion.

 

[Padre XIX]

V4
- Changed RCS 40 -----> 42
- Removed Shallow Draft from Free Promotions
-Coast Guard now - Half Movement in Ocean.+10% Combat Strength when defending in Coastal Tiles. Lost on Upgrade.

Sorry for these frequent updates but I'm trying to find the perfect (almost) balance for this new unit.

 

[snaphance]

Any thoughts on a gunboat-type line? Shallow draft, good for coastal defense, maybe stationing them in city-state borders would slow down loss of influence. Also thinking of lines of weaker coastal units that would be the only naval units city-states could make. Corvettes instead of destroyers, coastal submarines, etc. And, of course, earlier types of units, Basically whole coastal unit lines.

 

[hokath]

Right, if you came up with something for late renaissance then you could have Liburna->Galleass->????->Torpedo->Submarine->etc. as the line.
Frigate would then be the "new" unitclass.

Not sure that's to be preferred over what we currently have but it's interesting to think about.

 

[Padre XIX]

I do not agree with radical changes. I think the expansion of the submarine class by one era is enough.

The icons are made by me with the help of AI.
If you like the icons, I could make them for any other units as needed.
I will send you improved icon atlas and png files later today

 

[Padre XIX]

V10
- Changed unit icon for Liburna
- Some errors related to icon graphics have been fixed. It looks much better now.

 

[Padre XIX]

V11
- Changed the unit icon for Missiles and Submarines
- Changed unit icon for Dreadnought
- The previous icons have been improved

 

[hokath]

Some of the icons are really nice!
Not sure about the missiles, they all look kinda the same. The previous rocket missile was good (maybe remove German decal)
The Liburna looks like a longboat with those shields.
The two submarines in the bottom right are almost the same, are these two different units?
