House Harkonnen

Adds the House Harkonnen as a playable Civilization.

House Harkonnen is a conquest civilization that fuels its conquest through the gold and production bonuses that it directly and indirectly receives. In addition, House Harkonnen is also a powerful tile improvement civilization.

+1 Production from all Luxury resources. Capturing a city provides the House Harkonnen 1 unique Slave unit, triggered only once per city.

Replaces the Tank. Movement reduced to 3 and slightly more expensive (375 -> 390), but stronger (70 -> 95), Ignores Terrain Costs, and is 25% Stronger when attacking. Requires 1 Oil like the Tank.

Replaces the Workshop. Retains all the abilities of the Default Workshop, and also doesn't require maintenance while also providing 1 Slave unit.

Acquired either through capturing a city or through the construction of the Slave Quarters. They work twice as fast as a regular Worker, but can only complete 4 tasks before being destroyed.

Vladimir Harkonnen as an AI is a warlike leader. However, he is not Shaka or Montezuma-style aggressive leader, but more akin to Elizabeth and Bismarck, looking for an opening and playing deceptively before going in. House Harkonnen has been an industrial and mercantile house in the canon, and as such, Vladimir will focus gold and production. In addition, Vladimir is also among the most expansionist leaders that I've released, although he's no Shaka or Hiawatha. While Vladimir is a deceptive leader, he will also prove to be fairly loyal if the player manage to get on his good side. Vladimir is primarily offense-oriented, and thus will prioritize mobile units.

NOTE: This civilization was released through a workaround 7-Zip Compression instead of the ModBuddy's default compression due to the MSB4018 error. If the civilization will not unzip or install, manually download the .civ5mod file through Steam Downloader, change the file format to ZIP, and then use AlZip, WinZip, 7-Zip or any other unzipping program and unzip the content to the Mod folder. However, WinRar doesn't work, and if any unzipping programs do not work, try either AlZip or 7-Zip, which have been tested and proven to work.
