EpsTweak for Warrior Monks

Description
EpsTweak is a series of small mods that tweak the balance of Civ 6. Rather than put all of them into one hefty package, I've split them into small fragments to allow you to make your own custom rulesets.


Warrior Monks in the unmodded game are so narrowly niche as to be virtually useless. They are only ever useful if you unlock them right as you are doing a conquest rush in the early game, aaaaaaand then they immediately lose all relevance thereafter. Not exactly something you want to spend a whole religion slot on.

This mod makes it so Warrior Monks are more expensive (from 100 to 160) and don't have extra movement, but as you unlock two Civics further in the Civics Tree, they gain extra Combat strength:
+10 strength at Divine Right.
+10 strength at Reformed Church.
+15 strength at Conservation.

It also changes their promotion tree:
Twilight Veil (stealth) and Dancing Crane (+1 Movement) are swapped.
Exploding Palms now reads "Pushes back enemies if it deals more damage than it takes. Unpushable enemies take extra damage."

Hey Eps, if you ever read this - you could add an Apostle promotion, which adds Great General-like combat bonuses to surrounding Monks.

Nevermind, I got it to work. Just start a new game with a brand new configuration.

Does not work on my end either. Promotion tree is the same.

I love this. Makes monks just a bit more viable, and more easily comparable to Nihangs, the OTHER faith-bought melee unit.

Absolut shreds as general Suleiman
I like :)

Just tested it again, does not change the cost of the monks, either.

Does not work on my end. For example, their promotion trees are still the same as in the base game.

Just checked - works on my end. Keep in mind that the strength bonus is only applied in battle, so you need to hover over an enemy unit to see it.

Does not seem to work in the current version. Any hope that this gets updated?

Thinking about trying this mod, how's it working for everyone?
