Units to simplify/speed later game

[KrikkitTwo]

A few to help simplify the later game

Commandos (replace Marines+Paratroopers) available with Fiber Optics (and Flight and Rifling)
Str 28 Move 2
have Amphibious promotion and can Paradrop

Corporate Jet (replaces Executives) requires Advanced Flight and Corporate Branch in city
Cost=250
Air unit, can 'Form Corporations' in any city [with Open Borders+no civic that would stop it] at infinite range

Televangelist (replaces Missionaries) requires Mass Media and Monastery+Religion in city
Cost=150
Air unit, can 'Missionize' in any city [with Open Borders+no civic that would stop it] at infinite range

Don't know if they would "simplify" the later game.

 

[Fridge]

Well, it would simplify in the sense that you're replacing two (for me, anyway) nice but not essential units with one, and the advanced corp and religion spreading just remove micromanagement - it is slightly odd that if you want to send a missionary or corp agent abroad in 2000, you have to stick them on a ship (for several years!).

Airlift them.

I agree spreading missionaries and corpoartions should be instant in the late game - maybe costing a little more as a trade off.

Airlift them.

Doesn't work for converting/incorporating a non vassal with their own continent

And it should cost more, that's why I put the Televangelist at 150 (40 for Missionary)
and the Corporate Jet at 250 (100 for Executive)

 

[Figaro]

You can airlift into any civ's city with whom you have open borders, can you not?

 

[RomanHoliday]

At first I liked the idea. However airlifts make more sense. Paratroops launch "on their own" - they do not need a civilian airport. Corp jets and modern missionaries use publicly available airstrips.

Armored Personnel Carrier (Armor Unit)
STR 32 MOVE 2
Starts with March.
Can transport Scout, Melee, Archery, and Gunpowder units (2). Can only defend.

The Strength rating probably has to be tweaked. I never liked Mechanized Infantry to be honest - I'd rather see a troop carrier that allows infantry to keep up with the Armor units. Have a late game tech that allows Gunpowder Units to get City Raider.

Hm, I suppose this wouldn't simplify the game much.
