Now you should let them cross mountains.

This looks good. Hope it works well with GS

My bad, You mean the shooting range not the para range.

I did nothing to the paradrop ability

Don't understand the Spec Ops. Have you completely nerfed the air deployment? Could I edit it to make the range longer since I play with a 5 hex city mod?

updated now, no longer appears as "incompatible" with gathering storm. don't know the deal with the spanish text, will try to fix that later.

@Rolhn Works fine in GS

And now we wait for this to be updated for GS

I don't quite know why or how, but having this mod active in GS causes all Rise and Fall civs and their related leaders, units and improvements to be listed in Spanish.

Yes, I do now. Maybe that was the reason, 'cause it's working fine for me now.

I just tested and it worked. You guys have rise and fall expansion, right?

not working, no promotions nor ignoring movement costs

No longer working for me. Isolated my start-up error to this mod.

ove the mod, but got "ERROR: failed to release save point." message in modding.log file :(

Working fine for me and I have about 80 mods. Do you have any other mods that change scouts or promotions?

Is this still working?

I tried it and got errors, I have many mods for it to conflict with... any known problems?

Ditto be a lot better.

I like what you did, but would suggest two changes:
- make the scout have movement of 2, instead of 3, since it already has, by default, the ability to go through woods, and with one promotion can go through any terrain. later units keep the movement of 3
- make ambush only work when attacking, instead of when in rough terrain: an "ambush" must be an offensive move (right?), and I feel that your recon units became too situational, very powerful against ranged units on rough terrain and very weak both on offense and on defense on plains and grasslands

So I've given this a solid try, and I really like it. Very well done.

I'm going to have to give the Cree another try, with this rework their UU might be a lot more fun.

Yes, I can see the tension between what to ascribe to experience and what to technology. I don't want to detract from the thought and work you put into this, but thought it was worth talking about the thinking behind it.

Survival expert is an ability from civ 5 scouts, designed to give the scout a better chance to survive an attack, recover more quickly, and continue scouting further.

Ambush was changed because a +20 strength in any situation is too strong. I intended the recon units to be the rough terrain units. Thus they get a rough terrain bonus instead.

I didn't add scaling cliffs to Alpine promotion because I thought it seemed like a spec ops thing, and therefore made it a spec ops ability.

I've been bothered by the blind choice on the first tier of the recon tree for a long time, and I'm glad to see somebody tackle it.

That said, I'm a little puzzled by the randomness of these choices. Why not replace Ranger with Amphibious (like melee units, ignore rivers and don't pay to em/disembark) and add cliff walls to Alpine? That way there is a meaningful and flavorful early choice but choosing the wrong one won't be useless.

Also, is the point of the other changes to force recon units into a defensive-only role? The vanilla tree makes highly experienced recon units great at sneak attacks and chokepoint defense while less experienced ones are defensive and fragile. I can see where this is unusual but was never part of what bugged me.

Great! thanks

My mistake. I put up an update that fixes this.

The new promotion names and abilities do not show for me, but this may be a mod conflict. Any idea?

actually not sure, didn't test

Will this mod works with Vanilla version? I don't have money to buy R&F yet.
