Late-Game Unit Pack

Late-Game Unit Pack (LGUP) adds 32 units to the Modern, Atomic, and Information Eras to add more variety and color to the latter game experience. In a normal game, the Info Era tends to fly by rather quickly – with just a handful of units available. This really robs players of a chance to experience what should be the most interesting warfare of the game. Hopefully, this mod pack will help with that.

As this mod significantly increases the number and capabilities of available units in the latter game, it is perhaps best played with these settings: Industrial/Modern Era start, Domination only, and Marathon length.

The following is a list of the units added, with required tech shown in parenthesis:

Air Units:
1. Close Air Support Fighter (Computers): Heavy damage to land units.
2. Predator Drone (Telecoms): Light damage drone.
3. Reaper Drone (Lasers): Moderate damage drone.
4. Nightstalker Drone (Nuclear Fusion): High damage drone.
5. Recon Plane (Plastics): Based on Mosquito multi-purpose aircraft. **
6. Recon Jet (Lasers): Based on SR-71. **
7. Strategic Bomber (Rocketry): Based on B-52.
8. Plasma Fighter (Nuclear Fusion): High damage fighter.
9. Suborbital Bomber (Nuclear Fusion): Very long range bomber.
10. Wild Weasel Jet Fighter (Lasers): Anti-SAM specialist. Limit 8.
11. Stealth Fighter (Stealth): Based on F-117.
12. 5th Generation Fighter (Stealth): Based on F-35.

** These planes use the "Improved Recon" function originally published in the mod of the same name (see link #4 below)

Other Changes: The mod makes a few changes to normal game units: most units now require 1 Oil and the upgrade paths of many late-game units has been changed. The Battleship and Submarine can now carry 1 Missile upon the discovery of Advanced Ballistics. All SAM units are "defensive only" – meaning they cannot be used as attacking melee units.

Units that now require oil: Destroyer, Carrier, Submarine, Mobile SAM, Mech Inf, Missile Cruiser,
Unit that now requires uranium: Nuclear Submarine
Units that no longer need Aluminum, but now require Oil: Helicopter Gunship, Modern Armor, Rocket Artillery

This unit borrows units from several mods, as well as introducing new units. If you're playing any of these mods, there will be a duplication in capabilities, but the units should work. Still, you probably shouldn't play this mod with any of these mods also loaded:

1. "Info Era Ship Fix" https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=329703068
2. "SMAN's Omnibus Mod" https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=974882481
3. "Future Worlds" https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=596919865
