Sniper (G&K/BnW Version)

Description
Gods and Kings-balanced version of my old Sniper mod. Attack strength has been increased to scale with the increased strength of the Rifleman and Infantry.

-- Reposted description --
This mod keeps ranged infantry tactics viable through the modern era by adding the Sniper and Modern Sniper, ranged counterparts to the Rifleman and Infantry respectively.

The Crossbowman (and Chu-ko-nu) upgrade into the Sniper, which upgrades into the Modern Sniper. Snipers are less powerful than their counterparts so as not to render siege weapons useless, but receive a bonus against infantry and cavalry to compensate.

Gooood shit. Points for ye.
Really hated having Crossbowman in the modern and atomic era because I did NOT want to lose range on 'em. Also hated having to mass-smash artillery just to have some range.

Wouldn't this replace the gatling gun?

Perhaps more realistically be only one or two soldiers in a hex, Sniper are "Lone Wolves".

Oops, nevermind - there was just a simple mod conflict. Mods works fine otherwise. Sorry!

Lazor Gator: How so? Is it not working properly?

A great unit, I love the late game ranged attack. Unfortunately I have the same problem as Abraman, every unit has this annoying "promotion" box at the bottom that gets in the way of worker/settler functions. It's definitly this mod as it is the only one I have installed at the moment, not sure if its because of g&k or because im on mac...

Does this relace anything?

I don't know where that Infiltration promotion is coming from, but it's not this mod. And I doubt the settler bug has to do with this specifically, if only because in that case I would have heard about it more by now.
I wouldn't know about compatibility in general. This is an old mod which I haven't touched for a long time.
