Red Faction Civs - The Red Faction

Adds in the Red Faction, from Red Faction: Guerrilla into the game, led by Alec Mason.


====!!!! IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTICE !!!!====
This mod requires the Brave New World expansion pack to work, and WILL NOT function properly without it. However, as with every other mod I have created, I have chosen not to modify the dependency setting to require Brave New World, so those that do not have it can use the mod as they please. However, the mod is almost guaranteed to be a horribly broken - but playable - mess without the second expansion pack, so if you do not have the Brave New World expansion pack, proceed into a game with this mod at your own risk.


The Red Faction is a Civilization that can use military conflicts to fuel its economy, receiving a bonus to Gold for each enemy unit killed, each City conquered, and each Barbarian encampment captured. This causes the Red Faction's economy to skyrocket ahead of the pack, so long as they are at war, and allows them to use their Gold reserves for a wide variety of different applications, from keeping City-States on their side, to fueling a Science Victory by purchasing science structures in a City, to instantly training additional military Units using the Purchase feature. Indeed, the Red Faction's economy turns the Civilization into a force to be reckoned with, as they can stockpile large amounts of Gold like no other Civ.



====Unique Ability - Scrap is like Gold====
All melee Units receive Gold from kills, equal to half of the Combat Strength values of the slain enemy Units. Receive triple Gold from pillaging Cities and from taking barbarian encampments.

====Unique Unit 1 - Combat Walker====
The Combat Walker is a unique alternative to the Giant Death Robot that trades its melee attack for the ability to use a ranged attack against adjacent Units, allowing it to engage enemy forces without taking any damage in return. While not as effective in conventional combat than the Giant Death Robot, it more than makes up for it by being much more survivable on the battlefield against enemy forces, serving as a powerful tool for both offensive and defensive engagements. However, the Combat Walker requires one Iron resource to build, unlike the Giant Death Robot.

====Unique Unit 2 - Heavy Walker====
The Heavy Walker is a devastating anti-building unit that can easily tear enemy cities to pieces and wreak havoc on their tile improvements. It pays no movement points to pillage tiles, allowing it to rip enemy infrastructure to shreds and set them back centuries, while also having a +200% bonus against Cities, a promotion normally unique to Siege-class units, the Heavy Walker is capable of conquering cities much more effectively than any other unit in the game. However, all this power comes at a price, as the Heavy Walker is weaker and slower in conventional combat than the Giant Death Robot it replaces, meaning that it must be escorted by other units that are better-equipped for dealing with enemy ground forces. Requires one Iron to build, rather than Uranium.

Special thanks to another modder here on the Civ V workshop that inspired me to add the Heavy Walker's anti-building abilities, so it could be used as a counter to the EDF's uniques.
