usa v102

[manio curio]

Hi all,

Just finished my game with the USA, it was very fun, I kicked the european powers out of north america while settling the unsettled parts of it. The cities grew quickly and were productive which allowed me to always have something going on. Here are some issues/bugs to fix for @Rhye :

1 - the minuteman currently replaces the musketman and becomes obsolete right at the start the game, I would suggest it replaces the rifleman instead, maybe just make it cheaper since it is a militia style of a unit.
2- I wasn't able to build the apollo program despite having the tech requirements to do so
3- on save usa 2 I was already being given 50 points for settling the west coast but I hadn't found any city yet.
4- I could not found any religion or pantheon despite I had plenty of faith points, 5 religions were left to found which I found odd.
5- puppet cities sometimes do not build anything
6-there was an asian city right where seattle is and upon conquest it wasn't renamed.
7- native americans didn't appear at all during the game

Saves and pics attached.

great report! Thank you.

about n.1, I am thinking maybe better to replace the grenadier? Cause Riflemen were a staple of US military in the 19th Century in the civil war

The grenadier and the minuteman were very different units, you can replace the cavalry with the rough rider unit and give it a rough terrain combat bonus since the beginning of the game is in my opinion the most difficult part since you have to fend off the natives and the colonial powers. This would be the easiest to implement solution, alternatively you can do something similar to what is done in Dawn of civilization and implement a arquebusier -> musketeer -> rifleman type of sequence of units. RFC Europe did something even more detailed as they added one more layer with the line infantry unit, you can try something similar and reshuffle the techs as well.
