Description:

This mod adds a new great person type, great aviators, with 18 new and unique great people!

Like great generals and great admirals, great aviators are primarily focused on providing bonuses for military units, in this case air units, anti air units, and some naval vessels. Great aviators do NOT grant a passive combat bonus to units within one tile of them. Great aviators are more expensive than a standard great person due to the power an air force can offer, but many technologies, civics, and buildings grant a small number of passive great person points, with aerodrome, spaceport, and policies providing a greater number of points.

ALSO I did some cursory research to find these historical figures, but if I failed to notice that any of them are egregious war criminals, leave a comment and I’ll find somebody to replace them.

Great Aviators

-Sir George Cayley
-Orville Wright
-Wilbur Wright
-Thaddeus S. C. Lowe
-René Lorin
-Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (aka The Red Baron)
-Percival E. Fansler
-Alberto Santos-Dumont
-Amelia Earhart
-Carl Richard Nyberg
-Radoje Ljutovac
-Floyd Fogleman
-Clément Ader
-Hermann Ganswindt
-Chuck Yeager
-Douglas Douglas-Hamilton
-Gustav Rasmus
-Robert Hutchings Goddard (also a great scientist but we love the guy)

TO DO

– proper testing of combat bonuses (I’m crossing my fingers for these for now)
– district projects for great aviator points
– probably balance the cost and points granted because I kinda just went for it

COMPATIBLITY

– You need both major expansions and probably a good chunk of the dlc
– I introduced a few unique eras, each of which needs a unique chronology index, so fellow modders I have claimed 69420, 69421, 69422, and 69423. Try to give me a wide berth in case I need to add more.
– Some existing techs and civics have been modified to grant passive great aviator points after being researched. Any mods that remove techs/civics may be incompatible. I think it needs to be loaded AFTER 6T.
