Weapon promoted Warriors too strong

[Sandro]

Any modmods or other existing workarounds for the unbalanced Warriors? Otherwise, as a brute force solution, I would appreciate any info on how to remove the ability for Warriors to upgrade to iron and maybe bronze weapons.

Quick example: You have access to copper and discover bronze working. You can then either build a training yard somewhere (100 hammers) and start producing str 5 swordsmen/axemen (60 a piece), or you can start producing str 4 warriors right away in one or more cities without the t. yard requirement. For the price of a training yard and two swordsmen you can train about 9 warriors ...

In summary it is not only the archery line that is made redundant by über strong warriors but also some of the higher tier units (imho). With a swarm of iron warriors and some siege and the usual heroes+magic you are pretty well off.

Cheers,

Sandro

In the UnitInfos.xml it is almost the last line for the warrior. <WeaponTier> or something like that. Set it to 0 for no weapon, 1 for Bronze only, 2 for No Mithril, 3 for all allowed.

My best friend's primary complaint is related to that, actually. Rather than going cavemen to ICBMs as in bts, you go from tough guys to somewhat tougher guys.

you can change the number between the <weapontier> </weapontier> tags in C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Fall from Heaven 2 030\Assets\XML\Units\civ4unitinfos.xml (open it with notepad) to 0 for no weapon upgrades 1 for bronze 2 for iron and 3 for mithril. Press control+F and type in warrior and when it brings you to <type>UNIT_WARRIOR</type> type in weapon tier and it should bring you to the first tag I mentioned. I hope this helped and was easy to understand.
