Description
Adds 12 new Future-era units for all regular unit classes, with models taken from Beyond Earth. The units are direct strength upgrades from their predecessors and do not come with any new abilities. However, there is a change in the strategic resource required in some cases.

Four policies have been added to boost the production of the new units. Policies which previously boosted all units of a given type (Military First, Lightning Warfare, International Waters, Strategic Air Force) only affect units up to the Information era now. The new policies also come with some additional flavor bonuses, more info below.



Even though part of Project 6T, this mod does *not* require Grand Eras or any other mod!

Credits and Acknowledgements
Big thanks to Deliverator (author of Steel & Thunder) for making the Beyond Earth assets available.

For donations - since this mod includes a lot of work done by other people, I am not adding my PayPal link here. If you want to show your gratitude with a little gift, consider donating to a charitable cause instead.

Compatibility and Recommendations

Requires Gathering Storm. Project 6T's "Grand Eras" and all its other Unit Expansion mods is recommended but not required.

This mod currently isn't set up for any other mods adding very late-game units, whether generic or unique.

Known Issues
The units currently don't have any attack VFX or sound. Such weren't included in the assets published by Deliverator and I myself lack the skills to add them. But if you're not using Quick Combat and Movement this late in the game, you're absolutely mad anyway...

Thank you JNR for making civ 6 mods great

Only thing I will complain is units not having attack GFX and no nuke animations. Otherwise addition of these units are nice.

Just played this and it's awesome. Bravo. Love to see my BE Purity LEV tanks again. It just needs Rome having the Roman-looking Battle Suits ;). If I had time, I'd help you add all the affinity's and maybe even a choice for the player. Basically, just bolt BE onto 6... tech web and all. But this rocks. A must have for any Domination play. Also love the no constant resource drain - as a uranium core would power anything for years.

No fighting effect from new units though. Like use the future fighter bomber to nuke the city no nuke effect at all. Other wise everything is perfect.

I don't have such plans. I'm pretty much done for VI except for an entirely new project.

But anyone wanting to convert the mod into a non-6T version is free to make and publish it.

hello, I think the question was already ask but do you plan to make those units mod without depending on 6T new tech tree ? Especially the future units ? It would be really really cool

No, Information era units don't become obsolete, so one should still be able to build them if one doesn't have access to the resources needed for the Future era units.

As for the GDR, I made this mod in parts due to not liking the idea of the GDR in the first place and wanting to deactivate it but also having some replacement for Future era warfare. They're basically competiting visions for unit progression.

I tried to keep the power upgrade rather small though to not obsolete GDRs. I think they still have value in being very flexible on their own. 1UpT combat is all about quality over quantity, and the GDR still excels in putting maximum value on a single tile.

Would this make information era units obsolete? (i.e., you wouldn't be able to produce them any more?) Also, how do these units compare to the Giant Death Robot? If they are on par, would you buff the GDR/or change it a little to compensate?

But for real, thanks for the expansion, absolute goated mod dev.
