Currently they're too weak for their cost tho. Only removing negative terrain effect for 3 turns, otherwise being the same as regular riflemen.

Second page, lol

And you can make it so that their stealth was only in a certain area? I thought to do it as an ability.

In fact, these units are not very useful.
Mountain fighters can be replaced with scouts or machine gunners; desert ones have only an increase of +3 damage, just like winter ones; Forestry can also be useful according to the situation.

Yes, now we can make a unit have stealth on certain terrain type only.

I see them becoming viable once that's implemented. They still wouldn't be strong in combat, but at least would serve as a surprise factor.

Cool, I thought it was impossible (or unreasonably difficult), since I think that making them invisible on their terrain through technology would be the best option.

Now that the stealth tech is implemented, time to think about Anchar's second idea (camouflage for terrain infantry), right?

@Midonik
Will this get further developed? I mean the one with camouflage.

I feel like it gives humans a disproportionate advantage on some terrain but maybe. It's not a high priority for sure.

It would be a tech to invent for those specific units (similar to laser tank hiding), and those units are still basically riflemen but cost 1 more turn to build. Fair imo.
