This one might seem familiar to those that have seen Ropi’s Eastern Europe mod, that’s because I was his consultant on ideas for Romania in that mod.
OVERVIEW
Romania is a Mediterranean European civ with a focus on hit and run tactics, economy, and especially livestock.
- Romanians have a General that can plant an Inspiring Flag.
- Romanians starts with 2 sheep and get access to the Fulling Mills card.
- Romanian Mills have unique upgrades that affect all food gathering, similar to Native American farm upgrades.
- Romanian Settlers gather from Mills and Livestock 10% faster.
- Instead of mercenary shipments, Romanians get Russian Consulate unit shipments.
UNIQUE UNITS
Dorobanț (pl. Dorobanți) - Romanian mukseteer armed with yataghan in melee. Stats identical to the Revolutionary unit when upgraded to Imperial Dorobanț.
Partisan - Romanian melee infantry armed with a Partisan (that thing Claude-Pierre Pecaudy is wielding). They’re Royal Guard units that upgrade into Voinici (sg. Voinic) at Guard level.
Balkan Lancer - Romanian cavalry armed with lance and bow, similar to a Qizilbash. They’re Royal Guard units that upgrade into Călărași (sg. Călăraș) at Guard level. Călărași use rifles instead of bows.
Roșior (pl. Roșiori) - Dragoon with 15% more attack and 10% more speed, but 15% less hit points. Like the revolutionary unit. They have red jackets and use other areas to show player color, similar to the new redcoats.
POLITICIAN
Romanian politicians work similar to African alliances, each age adding a new one. Unlike alliances, they do not unlock new techs, but instead unlock new cards, as with Federal States.
