EpsTweak for Recon Units
EpsTweak is a series of small mods that tweak the balance of Civ 6. Rather than put all of them into one hefty package, I’ve split them into small fragments to allow you to make your own custom rulesets.
I don’t like Recon units in the base game. They’re weak, it takes a while before they can really move around rough terrain, and half the time they randomly die from running into barbarians. So I made them better.
This mod reduces the base movement of Scouts, Skirmishers, Rangers, and Spec Ops to 2 (but not unique units) and grants all Recon-class units the inherent ability to move through Forest, Rainforest, and Hills without penalty. It also removes four Promotions from the Recon promotion tree (Ranger, Alpine, Sentry, Spyglass) and replaces them with new ones:
Reconnaissance: +1 sight range. Ignores enemy Zone of Control.
Survivalist: +8 Combat Strength when defending vs. Barbarians.
Pathfinder: +1 Movement.
Sniper: +1 Range to ranged attacks.
The Guerilla promotion now also grants +3 Combat Strength in Woods and Rainforest.
