DLC TII Fighter units are included in this mod: Core Tier II – Fighter – DLC

It was intentionally designed to benefit from my Level Up mod, which makes medal rewards for fighters a lot more useful. Unfortunately, there are very few fighters in the base game.

Goal:
This mod is intended to improve pacing and unit scaling into the late game while limiting changes to the overall dynamics or balance of the base game.
It does this by adding in Tier II cultural fighter units.
The mod is intentionally limited to Tier II units to assist in pacing in the early game where you can run out of steam between Tier I and Tier III depending on cultural units available. And to help in the late game by extending core troop builds a little further before becoming obsolete.
How it’s implemented:
New Tier II Fighter units are added for each culture.
AI can recruit the new Tier II units and they will be distributed to the spawn points (on new game).
