This is kind of what ZXL is about. Bypassing weird requirements and just unlocking units with tempo. Putting the Shaolin Monks behind the Dynasty bonus just makes so they are never really use (just like Grenadiers for China). Considering that this landmark is literally called Shaolin Monastery, I say we just make it an option for ZXL to actually utilize their unique units.
Like, what is the purpose of this landmark besides FC? Nothing really. Shaolin Monks are really interesting units, and I would love to see them get more action as they originally did at launch.
While we’re at it, I’d even introduce some technologies for them. Maybe one that unlocks healing, reduces damage taken on units or damage dealt by enemies, like the Japanese buddhist Monks?
Oh and this may be controversial, but perhaps they should be in the front of formations rather the back. The lack of a charge attack and their slow speed means they are less effective in large groups of other units like ZGN, Crossbows, as the monks hide behind them.
