Better Recon - Policy Cards

Make Recon class better. This mod is one of the collection that changes every aspect of Recon class. Designed to work together but can be used independently.

This mod adds Policy Cards to enhance Exploration and Recon units.


This mod adds the following Military Policy Cards:

• Early Exploration: Unlock at Code of Laws. +100% Production towards Recon units. Obsoleted by New World Exploration.
  
• Survey and Discipline are now merged into Civilized Militia but the XP boost for Recon units is only 50%. Obsoleted by New World Exploration.
  
• New World Exploration: Unlock at Colonialism. +100% Production towards Recon units and they gain +50% XP.
  
• Spotters: Unlock at Scorched Earth. Ranged Units next to Recon units gain +1 Sight and +1 Range.

Recon class units in my opinion are in weird position. Through these mods, I want to make them into support position that can fulfill either exploration or indirect combat role. It is achieved by making them better survivors (through defensive bonus) and instead of having 20 bonus Combat for themselves (original Ambush promotion), they transfer them to their allies through Combat or Maneuver support. Below are the mods in this collection:

• Unit: Change the Recon unit abilities and their promotion tree.
  
• Policy Cards: Add/Change Policy Cards towards Recon units and exploration.
  
• Road Building: Add build charges for Recon units, they can now build Roads.
