[G&K] Hanar Civilization

Adds the Illuminated Primacy as a Civilization, led by Blasto.

Blasto is the first Hanar Spectre, an elite group composed of the best the galaxy has to offer. Blasto roams the galaxy meting his violent brand of justice, all while remaining incredibly polite throughout. Or he would, if he wasn't in reality a movie character. Still, he is a proud member of the Hanar who will fiercely stand up for their virtues and rights.

Trait: (Enkindle This) All land and sea units can embark across ocean tiles. Double sea resources and oil. Shrines and Temples provide +1 faith.

UB: Trade Port. Replaces Harbor. Provides a trade route between cities 15% faster naval production and +2 gold and +1 production for all nearby worked sea resources.

UU: Voyage of Light. Replaces Frigate. +1 movement and +2 visibility. Can move after attacking. Provides faith, equal to half the defeated units strength, for every kill. Requires 1 Iron.

This is the sixth of our planned Mass Effect civs, the Hanar. What use is the land if you cannot travel the oceans? What use is science if there's no faith to guide you? The Hanar know that life exists because of the Enkindlers, and because of that their faith is strong. This guiding light and the strength of the oceans will lead the Hanar, as even the strongest of land units are all but helpless in the oceans.

'BLASTO?!? BUT HE DOESN'T EXIST!!'. Well the Hanar were a strange one. The problems they presented were different, as it mainly seemed to be about their lack of elements we had to work with. Blasto, for example, came about once we realised that Zymandis wouldn't be a good leader for the Hanar seeing as though he's a big stupid jellyfish who tried to commit genocide on his entire race. Without him our next choice really was Blasto, who is already far more well known than Zymandis in the first place. Their UU and UB came from the trade that the Hanar were regularly involved in, and because we realised the water race really should have a naval based unit. Their trait also grants them a myriad of bonuses, meaning they will be the naval powerhouse they rightfully should.

This is a dual project and we plan on creating and releasing all these civs (in no particular order) in the near future, and hopefully you'll enjoy them. :)
