Unit Promotions

[searcheagle]

i think the unit promotions will be really cool.. i hope they make ways to easily recognize which unit has which trait one promoted in that area

I agree. I also fear that promotions will be lost because of home many there are.

it looks very much like not ALL promotions will be available to ALL units-and some look like they will only be available under certain victory conditions.

I'm sure. How can a ship or airplane have a option to promote and get "+20% defense in jungles"?

In stock Civ 3 Conquests there are 85 units (from my count, including UUs). For cIV it is supposed to be 83 -- big whoppin' deal!

Remember: Civ4 has 18 civs (18 UUs), while C3C has 31 civs (31 UUs).

Good point.

Looks like we're going to have ourselves some wished-for variation in unit types.

Didn't I read somewhere that certain promotions available are related to the unit YOUR unit defeats? So if my warrior defeats a spearman, it gets a different menu of promotions than if my warrior defeats another warrior. Some choices of promotions may be the same, but unique ones for the unit type will be there.
