50 gold starting bonus for persians

How about giving Persians Bracer for the exchange of Ring Archer armor?
Trashbow is super weak, It only can kill halbs. Seriously it is really better than just Skirmisher?

Or giving Persian Arbalesters and keep No Bracer.

They are not weak. They are just so generic and mediocre.

Not possible with trashbow.

Yes. They have more than 200% higher dps than skirmishers (if the target is not an archer).

That was the whole point of introducing the new “Kamandaran” tech.

Persians is a weird civ with almost fully upgraded Heavy Cavalry Archer only lacking bracer. They have a good roster of units, swordsman-line no one use that most, they have HC, bad monks, good siege… Where they need to shine?

Kamandaran is useful to cover Paladins against Halb/Pikes

Hmmm, in 1v1 maybe to cover Cavaliers they’re viable, in team games they’re…trash.
They struggle even against FU champs, and are literally massacred even by a few Paladins (they do just 1 dmg to FU Paladin).

You don’t need trashbows in TG anyway

Navy…(My undying dream to see more top tier civ on water maps).

Indeed you don’t.
And even in 1v1, they might be too wood heavy.

I was just trolling :wink:

I think Persians are fine.
Sometimes a little underwhelming but mostly alright…
