Scout's Progress

This mod transforms Scouts into a viable support unit, vastly enhancing survivability and utility, especially during the late-game.

Features:
- 3 new Scout-Units (Explorer, Ranger, Special Forces)
- Some new Promotions for scouts
- The Big Muscles Promotion (Improving defense so that scouts ought to be roughly equivalent in power to contemporary units when attacked only)
- Higher promotions enable specialization on terrain, changing the way a scout can be deployed (ever wanted to cross mountains while exploring?)
- All scouts can detect invisibility, higher versions have mastered the art of invisibility for themselves.

Concept:
The basic problem I wanted to fix was the scout's lacking survivability as the ages progress. Every common barbarian could simply slaughter them, something that's especially a problem with the 'raging Barbarians' option enabled. Furthermore, they have absolutely no place in interfaction warfare (they drop dead when some Infantry but coughs). Thus I upgraded them, adding fairly insane defensive abilities and - in later versions - a ranged attack (not a good one, mind, but a reasonable one for being annoying). Finally, improved movement and sight allow them to give you a better look at your battlefield, stealth (and certain specialized terrain mastery promotions) make it easier to slip behind enemy lines and sabotage his infrastructure.

This way the scout can handle being your eyes and refrain from being an easy victim in war.

For a full list of changes, see the change log thread.

Compatibility:
Vanilla: Works, but Survivalism Promotion Tooltip is wrong (Overall effect of the promotion is still alright). Thanks @gvbr96 for verifying this.
Gods and Kings: Tested and works
Brave new World: Tested and works

Other info:
For those who want the unbalanced version back (as was occasionally requested), there is another mod released now, that modifies Scout's Progress to bring all units back to their height of power. Not balanced, no, but if that's what you want, find it amongst my other published works.
