MOD : Promotion for Support Units

[mod_3d]

Note:
The mod has been tested on version R29 for developers, but should be compatible with A27 and R28.

Description:

 

Support units will gain experience when gathering resources.

A 21st rank has been added for each resource.

When advancing to the next rank, the unit will receive a bonus to the gathering speed of that resource.

1. The bonus is only added to the resource that the unit is gathering.
2. The amount that needs to be gathered to increase the rank for each resource is different and depends on the gathering speed.

Example:
To move to the next level, the unit needs 100 pieces.

Fruit
if the gathering speed = 1, then the unit needs to gather 100 units.
if the player researches the technology and the gathering speed = 1.5, then the unit needs to gather 150 units. 

Metal
If the gathering speed = 0.35, then the unit needs to gather 100 * 0.35 = 35 pieces to advance.

The bonus and the amount of resources required grows exponentially.

Rank  Bonus   Amount of resources required for improvement
2           +1%                          30
3           +3%                         45
...

21        +200%              

Ranks are not displayed in the unit interface, only the change in gathering speed.

UPDATE: Version 0.2.0

Units will only receive a bonus for the resource they gather, not for all resources at once. 
The amount of resources required to advance to the next level depends on the gathering speed.
