Ratt's Various Tweaks

Ratt's Various Tweaks

This is my first model of Civ VI. Mostly just tweaks to the game to improve a few things that I think could be done better.

• The purpose is to fix some of the game's poorer balance issues (like the fact that Swordsmen can easily beat Pikemen 1 on 1 despite having a cost advantage of over 2:1, or that Knights are conceivably better than Pikemen in every way) without changing the base game too much.
• I'm also aiming to eliminate all leaf technologies and citizens in the game, as well as bring every level of government to the same level (which still makes me feel like royal theocracies and merchant republics unlock later than monarchies, and leaf citizens are there).

That said, this mod is not designed to optimize the game, but rather to simplify some parts of the game that I found rough.

Without further ado, here are the changes I implemented:
