Kingdom of Israel

Description
Leader: King David

Unique Trait: The Lord is My Shepherd - Pastures and Specialist Improvements provide +2 Faith.

Unique Unit: Gibborim - Replaces the Scout. As effective as a Warrior in combat, begins with the Drill Promotion and is upgradable to a Swordsman.

Unique Building: City Walls. Israel's City Walls provide +1 Faith and -10% espionage in addition to the standard benefits of walls.

Notes:
- Requires Gods and Kings Expansion.
- The leader scene uses Darius.
- The Descriptions and Histories included are taken from Wiki pages for the most part.
- This mod is operating under the idea of ancient Israel... not modern Israel.
- This is my second mod. I'm curious to see feedback in particular regarding whether you think the unique trait/building and unit combo are balanced.

Version 3 Changes:
- Naming of XML tags belonging to this mod have the prefix "Voltmod" added to insure they're unique with other mods.
- Renames the Jerusalem City-State to Udvada. Udvada is the site of the oldest Zoroastrian Atash Behram (It's inside a Fire Temple located here). Udvada, as a result is the center of pilgrimmage for Zoroastrians.

Everything Works great. Tweeked your Walls a bit, Now they also give 1500 land/air/sea expeince to any unit made in a city with the walls, and switched gibhorim goody hut upgrade to Swordsman instead of spearman. After All, When God is on your side, no such thing as a fair fight...lol So far the best Hebrew civ on the Workshop. I'd suggest For historical accuracy, rename Judaism to Hebrew and change the star of David to the (יהוה) And maybe make truffles prevent settlers from founding or loss of faith if traded for. and make all units freeze evey 7th turn....lol

@Weboah
@Midnight hunter didn't Nehemiah rebuild the walls after Cyrus (The REAL Great:) let the Israelites return after Babylonian exile as prophecy had fortold? I believe in the book named for himself the lack of walls symbolized a defeated people, and though the Temple was rebuilt the people wanted protection. The walls gave confidence to the people and also proclaimed to her neighbors that God was indeed still with them and helping them which I imagine would certainly produce faith (e.g.Nehemiah 2:20&6:16).

Agreed with Weboh. Only the illegal occupation is known for its walls with their concentration camps. Israel back then was known for its sin towards god that banish them from ever establishing again. If you go by the jewish faith. Orthadox jews are mass protesting for a reason against israel, So we certainly either have to make it before they sinned or during. Maybe they still have the ark.

Instead of walls, which Israel in't really known for, the unique building should be Hezikiah's tunnel: Replaces aqueduct and gives the regular aqueduct effect and +4 food, even while the city is blockaded.

Pavel, David was king of all twelve tribes of Israel.

King David was monarch of both Israel and Judah before it was divided by Solomon's son. Under Saul and David the tribes were united.

you should make the great generals become "The Ark of the Covenant" where they act as Great generals but have an increased bonus to attacks.
