## Overview

The **Romanians** are a Nation State civilization in *Wars of Liberty*. They are traversing a period of adaptation to bring them closer to their future rework. The 19th century Modernization Era of Romania is now the key factor in their new design, which aims to represent a rapid military and economic development in game.
## Features

* Have access to all economic upgrades at Enlightment Age and all military upgrades at National Age at the expense of paying higher amounts of resources to upgrade each building.
* Receive bonuses after researching all of the same age technologies in the same building:

1. **Hunter's Lodge**: Gives 1-2 pigs after researching all of the same tier technologies.
2. **Market**: Gives 1-4 villagers when the respective technologies are researched.

* Receive a training time discount after upgrading all military units to Recruit Status and after researching all the Arsenal-like technologies of the same age. (5, 15 and 20% for infantry and cavalry, 2, 3 and 5 % for artillery)
* Can use a mobile wagon, the Vardo, to train Roma Villagers and Bears.
* Start the game with a Trained Bear.
* Start the game with a Raven.

### Unique Units

The Romanians have a few unusual units:

 Roma Villager: One of the 2 available gatherers. It's trained at the **Vardo** and trickles experience.

 Vardo: A mobile building that trains **Roma Villagers** and **Trained Bears**, also provides 10 population.

 Dorobant: Heavy infantry unit with more attack, but low hit points.

 Vanator: A skirmisher with higher stats, yet more expensive.

 Calaras: Cheap light ranged cavalry unit that takes up 1 population slot, en masse, good against heavy cavalry and artillery.

 Raven: A pet that helps explore the map.

 Trained Bear: A trainable pet which is effective against treasure guardians.

## Trivia

* The homecity is a model of the Great Hall from Harry Potter, downloaded from the internet and repurposed.
* For many years, the civilization was Vlad Tepes themed and hinged for the most part on stereotypes, for lack of knowledge on the history of the culture. After several debates and reworks from the team, the civilization was reworked into a Francophile themed design.
