Modern Infantry
The Mechanized Infantry unit has a couple of cool-looking modern infantrymen flanking the main APC/IFV unit. Ever since Civ3 I’ve wanted the late game military not to lose its humanity and become entirely vehicle-based. Civ6 does the job, partially, with the inclusion of Modern AT, Spec Ops and the presence of those two guys in the Mech Inf formation.
But I felt that wasn’t enough. So I took those guys and made a full formation with them. Being a second Melee unit in the Information Era, butting into the Mech-Armor-AT triad, the question was how to make it worthy and distinct. So here’s my attempt at a "light" type of modern infantry with a couple of quirks in addition to being resourceless and cheaper than the later Mechanized Infantry unit.
