Description
Civ: Israel- Led by Joshua
Having been led out of slavery in Egypt, the people of fledgling Israel pushed further into their promised land, currently inhabited by over 30 Canaanite tribes. The people of Israel asked them to leave and allow Israel to claim their birthright. The Canaanite tribes did not agree.


LEADER: Joshua, Moses's chosen.
UNIQUE ABILITY (UA)- GOD IS WITH US
Relations with City States decline 25% faster. Combat against city-states is increased by 25%. No gold plunder may be taken from conquests, but Pre-Midieval Era Land units earn faith from kills.

UNIQUE UNITS

-Hebrew Architect
The Hebrew Architect replaces the Worker. It builds 33% faster than the Worker, and can move 3 spaces.

-Ark of the Covenant
The Ark replaces the Great General. It provides no combat boost, and can only move 1 space. In return, it provides a 50% combat boost against cities that it is adjacent to, provided to units up to 2 tiles away. In addition, it reduces enemy combat strength by 10% within one tile. Finally, it can spread religion at Prophet strength.


This mod is the second in a series, "Biblical Civs and Leaders"
Its sister mod are the Disciples of Christ, led by Jesus.

TO DO:
-Fill in Joshua greeting dialogue.
-Bug Fix/Balance

@Smoklen
Those are REALLY good ideas!

Another thing that could be added to the trait would be the ability to cross rivers at normal speed and embark (only temporarily, as previously mentioned).

I had creating this civ in mind myself, but seeing yours, I figured I would give my idea.
Israel could start with no settlers, but a stronger military made OP by the unique trait (which would only last temporarily), as Israel conquered its cities, they did not settle them.
Another name for the trait could be "Promised Land".

I started a game: The first I see that I only get 1 or 2 Religion for killed barbarian. I always play with aggressive barbarians and in addition the mod "barbarian spawn increase". But the effect is not really noticeable and even more only for a short time. I don't need 25% more combat power against city-states (=> Mongolia) - more religion would be more useful.
And there seems to be a bug: I was not able to spread religion with the Ark of the Covenant. Neither own cities nor cities of the enemy (neither durig war nor in peace). And think about more movement in neutral or own area. The next is - I use it nearly only as citadel. So for me is the general better. Set the citadel next to a city - the stationed unit always gets damaged.

And there are plenty of Barbarians. But I really do see your point.

Pre-Midieval Era - my problem is, that I never start a war so early and also very rarely someone declares war. Barbarians the only chance

@speerit
maybe I see it too negative - will try it. UB und UU - good ideas
(I often wished that more than more worker can work on one hex - this would be an alternative.)

Well it isn't JUST negative. Its clearly an aggressive civ, you shouldnt miss that diplomacy if you play Joshua. Plus early faith ramp? Good fun. And iconic too, biblically sound.

@Sir Picke of Stamford
Free worker with new city exists already - nearly (with built monumet replacement you get one - Armenian Empire). So I like this idea more.
UA - I fully agree. A disadvantage as UA - what's this??? :steamsad:
