Sniper (vanilla)

Description
*** This is the vanilla version. If you are using Gods & Kings and/or Brave New World, use the version for that instead or you will find the Sniper rather underpowered. ***

This mod keeps ranged infantry tactics viable through the modern era by adding the Sniper and Modern Sniper, ranged counterparts to the Rifleman and Infantry respectively.

The Crossbowman (and Chu-ko-nu and English Longbowman) upgrade into the Sniper, which upgrades into the Modern Sniper. Snipers are less powerful than their counterparts so as not to render siege weapons useless, but receive a bonus against infantry and cavalry to compensate.

hmm, does this not work with games already in progress?

Love this mod. But it seems to have stopped working. Last 2 games I played, the tech tree showed snipers at the beginning, but later when I was close to getting them, they had disappeared from the tech tree. Weird.

@Defcon1 Not initially, it's smart to work in pairs, but squadrons have proved to be strong in the past

Snipers work in pairs, not squadrons

@malcolmmorgado
"Vanilla" typically means the base or store released version of the game. This mod is for that version of the game, where you do not own or have downloaded DLC. If you own or have downloaded the Gods and Kings or Brave New World expansions, don't use this version of the mod. Find the version for either of those.

This mod is good! I like the snipers because their strength is reasonable and they are useful in combat.

Thanks, Harald!
