paratroopers+creating new units
Paratroopers are a waste. If you want to do a massive airborne invasion, you have to build an unreasonable amount of helicopters. You can't have an efficient war like that. To fix this problem, I want to create a unit called an air transport. It would look like a bomber (i don't want to create a new skin for something very similar looking) and could hold up to four paratroopers. I think this would make the game better. But I don't know how to do this. Is there a very easy to use utility that lets you create units?

Or...
you could just make helicopters hold 4 units.

Check the Files Forum & Creation Forum for making new units.

I made the helicopters hold 4 units. And not only foot soldiers, they can carry all kinds of units. From settlers to Modern Armor.

Ok, cool, helicopters that can hold up to 4 units. So does the AI use it? My guess is no

The AI does not use helicoptors even in the unmodded version. That is because the AI is not programmed to do so. It is probably a good idea, because even if helicopters can hold 4 unit, it is still not very powerful. And sometimes tedious to handle.
