8 Ages Of War

As you might have noticed, this mod has not been updated to deal with either expansion packs. I have had no interest in Civilization 6 for a while, and do not imagine I will be getting back into it. Therefore, I will not be updating this or other mods for the forseeable future.

If you wish to make your own version of this mod and upload it on Steam, you may. Message me and I will add a link to it here.

================================

Does warfare feel slightly wrong to you in Civilization 6? Do you get annoyed that spamming archers is the solution to every problem? That cavalry is better than infantry at every single thing?Tired of useless promotions like 'Commando' that just get in the way? Confused about the 3 different meanings of melee in the game?

Then 8 Ages of War is the mod for you! The aim is to turn the art of war in Civilization 6 into something more balanced, more interesting, and more immersive.

Rebalanced stats for land units give them all a niche to play, and none are overpowered. All new promotions for all land and naval units provide a meaningful choice when your units gain battle experience. Revamped naval combat adds much needed realism and extra benefits for naval exploration. Detailed changes are in the game civilopedia and can been in the screenshots above, the most important ones are:

• 10 new promotion trees for the land and sea units!
  
• Small changes to the stats of most land units (see table in screenshots)
  
• Completely revamped naval warfare! Naval melee units can now coastal raid (and so can pop goody huts!) and are cheaper. Naval ranged have a weaker attack but stronger defence and more expensive. Privateer/Submarine/Nuclear submarines cannot raid or attack land units, but have the most powerful attack against other ships with an extra bonus against embarked units. (Embarked units are slightly tougher in later eras to compensate.)
  
• Ranged units much weaker across the board. Machine gun renamed to 'Mortar' and has range 2.
  
• Anti-cavalry class units are much cheaper to produce and maintain and have +15 vs cavalry units. New Fusilier unit added between pikeman and anti-tank crew, which itself has been pushed back one era (modern anti-tank removed).
  
• New policies that give +50% production towards anti-cavalry and siege units.
  
• All heavy and light cavalry units more expensive to build and very costly to maintain. Cavalry unit itself moved forward to late renaissance.
  
• Melee class land units have +12 vs anti-cavalry units.
  
• More charges for the military engineer, and acts as a battering ram.
  
• Slight changes to unit resource requirements.
  
• All UU (DLC included) have been changed inline with common units.
  
• Norway and England have had their ability adjusted (Norway gets extra gold from raiding, England get free anti-cavalry, including redcoats, on founding distant cities).
  
• Workaround for buggy Hoplite adjacency bonus.
  
• Clarified in game text when referring to ambiguous terms like 'Melee'
