Additional Support Units (Ucho’s ASU)

Enhance Your Civilization VI Armies with Additional Support Units

Revolutionize your strategic approach in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI with the Additional Support Units (ASU) mod. This comprehensive modification introduces a new layer of tactical depth by integrating specialized support units designed to bolster your combat forces in unique and impactful ways. Move beyond simple combat strength increases and unlock a vast array of new strategic possibilities for your armies, navies, and reconnaissance efforts.

Expanding Tactical Horizons

The core philosophy of the ASU mod is to empower players with more meaningful battlefield decisions. Instead of relying solely on brute force, these support units offer crucial battlefield enhancements such as accelerated healing, improved mobility, extended range, more effective pillaging, enhanced reconnaissance, potent siege capabilities, and vital naval support. The positioning and formation of your units become paramount, as many of these powerful bonuses are applied to nearby units, creating dynamic and engaging tactical scenarios.

Key Features of Additional Support Units

This mod introduces several key mechanics that fundamentally alter how you command your forces:

• Formation Capabilities: Many support units can form escort formations with your primary combat units, ensuring they stay together and provide their benefits where needed most.
• Proximity Bonuses: The effectiveness of many support units hinges on their placement. Bonuses often apply to eligible units on the same or adjacent tiles, making strategic positioning critical for maximizing their impact.
• Calculated Risks: Some of the most potent bonuses offered by these units come with trade-offs, such as a reduction in Defense or Movement, forcing players to weigh advantages against potential vulnerabilities.
• Comprehensive Coverage: The mod offers support across all facets of warfare, including land forces, reconnaissance units, siege engines, ranged units, cavalry, and naval fleets.
• Improved Mobility: All land-based support units have been granted at least 3 Movement points, ensuring they can keep pace with your advancing formations without becoming a logistical bottleneck.

A Diverse Roster of Support

The ASU mod provides a wide array of specialized units tailored to specific military needs. From the **Forward Base** that significantly improves land unit healing to the **Forced March Corps** that boosts movement at the expense of defense, each unit offers distinct advantages. Engage in devastating cavalry assaults with the **Pursuit / Breakthrough Corps**, enhance your ranged power with the **Mobile Volley / Sniper Command Corps**, or ensure the survival of your frontline with the **Line Sustaining Corps**. For economic warfare, the **Raiding Command Corps** makes your pillaging efforts more efficient. Siege operations benefit from the **High-Ground Observer / Close Bombard Corps**, while reconnaissance gains an edge with the **Hardy Scout / Trailblazer Corps**. Even your naval forces are not forgotten, with the **Long-Range Naval Command / Naval Supply Corps** enhancing fleet operations.

This mod is designed for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm and a new game is recommended for the best experience. Prepare to redefine your military strategy and lead your civilization to victory with the enhanced tactical depth provided by the Additional Support Units mod.
