military Civilization-specific army units

[Chairman Baad 2,000]

It feels weird seeing all the Chinese warlords in the Fall of the Han Dynasty scenario having ancient Greek hoplites in their starting armies. (and don't think about the Battle of Zhizhi, there's no way Lukasz is referencing that) I think modders would be overjoyed if we could add unique army units specifically for different civs or scenarios. Perhaps this could be done in a manner similar to adding custom mission trees for said scenarios.

Now with civ-specific army units would come the issue of linking them to the tech tree, which itself is not civ-specific. We (the players who support this feature) would have to brainstorm a solution before Lukasz can add it. There's the simple "make civ-specific tech trees a thing", but that seems a bit much. Anyone got any ideas?

i say that they can be added to nation specific advantages and can be unlocked by advantage points, it would also be helpful if you can change how much advantage points each advantage cost so you have to pick and choose what you want and need instead of just picking the same stuff over again because they all cost the same.

You can also make a way for them to be unlocked through nation specific legacies if he would want to go down that route

Like the advisor and the leader portraits and names, they should be culture specific. For example all chinese nations should have the same armies but that army should be different from the greek ones for example.
