Do you guys think I should add healer and forge tents, or should I just combine those into the command tent?

Combined, I believe that's a better approach.

[Asher]

Was there anything you think I should change?

[Asher]

Should I add advanced cav for every civ?

Anybody know how I could make it so you can't get a unit unless you have a certain ally?

I'm not sure, but I don't think we have anything for that; maybe something related to technology would have a similar effect, but I have no idea how it could be done.

Well, possibly you can define an automatic benefit for that ally? IIRC, some heroes provide allies with benefits in some cases. Possibly the same mechanism can be reversed to provide these benefits automatically from certain civs to yourself? Nevertheless, it sounds rather complex.
