Strength: 7
Movement: 3
Can build roads
Unlocked at Horseback Riding

Strength: 12

Extra sight/movement/defense while embarked

I liked this mod, but the AI seemed to build bunches and bunches of them...

I was hoping for a solution to the scouts upgrading to archers when they explore some ancient ruins. I really hate that. I'd rather them go to pioneers.

I cannot use 'auto-explore' (E) with the added units....

@burkeyturkey: good work creating an interesting MOD.
@Noisyfireknight: ancient ruin upgrade to archer is part of the base game.
@Magscorch: This would be over powered in the base game - Archaeologists take a while to build and can't be purchased. With Explorers upgrading into Archaologists, a player can buy Explorers right before finishing the Archaeology tech, then pay to upgrade their Explorers, giving a huge boost towards a cultural victory.

I've found a little glitch/oversight. Moving scouts to an anicent ruin with advanced weapons still upgrades them to archers. As OP as that is, it that intended?
