Urdnot's Western Isles - Somerled

UA: By Galley or by Gauntlet

Kills from naval units rush production in coastal cities, doubled if it was constructing a Dun, Naval Unit or Courthouse. Naval resources yield +2 gold and +1 food.

UB: Dun (Barracks)

Provides no base experience, instead providing +7 experience per adjacent coastal tile. Provides a free naval unit if built in a conquered city.

UU: Birlinn (Catapult)

Is a naval unit, unlike the catapult, but has the same base stats as one. Upgrades into a galleass, but retains its catapult promotions. Unlocked at sailing.

Adds the Western Isles of Scotland into the game, lead by Norse-gael warrior Somerled - the isles is a ferocious civ focused on conquering and exploiting any naval territories unlucky enough to be nearby. It's early access to catapults in the form of a naval unit - the Birlinn- should enable rapid springs into conquering nearby coastal cities, while also serving as an early game naval ranged unit for clearing out pesky barbarian galleys that might try to contest your control of your waterways. With control of your nearby coasts assured, be sure to settle or capture the most isolated islands or peninsulae you can find, because the Dun - while much worse than the regular barracks in an inland city - can pump out units with double the base experience of a barracks when places strategically. Finally, your UA ensures that once your highly experienced fleet takes to the waves, the production bonuses will keep it replenished, or enable you to focus on building up your vast coastal empire.
