Trainer
Goal:
This mod adds a new military building chain to all settlements that specialises in upgrading recruited units.
The goal is to provide a meaningful method for cities to specialise producing quality units without forcing the player into a ‘must have’ solution to remain competitive. This mod should help make lower tier units feel more relevant into the late game, as well as help keep pace with harder level AI’s and infestations that can already produce units at high ranks, although they’ll also have access to the same buildings and benefits.
It achieves this through adding rank bonuses to units at each building tier, as well as providing a stacking experience gain bonus designed to make each building relevant to increasing military advantage.
Each building is tied to the settlement level and boosted by population. The intention is to reward larger more established cities with the ability to produce better troops, and limit the benefits of spamming many low tier cities. The mod follows the base game principles of ‘no drawbacks’ to building upgrades.
