The Surveyor is a Recon unit available in the Industrial Era with the Enlightenment Era mod.
Overview[]
As the Industrial Revolution powered forward, exploration of the world took on a much more scientific slant. The purpose of exploration changed from the Renaissance ideal of bringing back treasure and trade routes, to a desire to understand the world and its flora and fauna. This served a practical purpose as well – a more urbanized and mechanized society required formal planning of spaces, in order to more efficiently build infrastructure and settlements.
Strategy[]
The Surveyor is a recon unit that upgrades from the Explorer. It is stronger and faster still than the Explorer, although it is vulnerable alone. The Surveyor may enter rival territory without an Open Borders agreement.
