If only there was a way for OVERSIGHTS to be SEEN prior to this. Must be some difficult process if it has happened REPEATEDLY.

Yes, because if there is one thing Russia struggles with, it’s cheap musks.

I really don’t get why Portuguese, Ethiopians and Haudenausaunee only got nerfs. That and the Russian buffs. Everything else is fine, I guess.

African Civilizations nerf made for beginners is getting harder to learn.

Maybe they can make it a new tutorial mode for African civs for beginners, it’s fun. Or rework a few things in African Civilizations.

More Brit needs was the best part. 45% win rate civ without a bonus is just too good.

Aztects should have been nerfed
Same as Ottos

Sorry, I played against the Aztec AI, and it was fun to watch how their infantry died is quickly

I’m glad we’ve finally slowed down the Aztec AI. Maybe now we can turn our attention to nerfing the Port AI. I seem to lose my Abus Gunners to their Casadors every time.

  • Uhlan: Melee damage reduced to 35 (from 37).

I think the veteran buff should reverse this nerf. Or just make ulan strong again, but the penalty for sending is higher.

You might find this conversation interesting: Breakpoints Uhlan damage nerf explored

The big winners were Hussars and Greatcoat vills. Imo it was a good change.

Also I believe with the Vet Tech they kill Skirmishers and Cassadors at the same rate as before. Vet tech is probably more critical than before in age 3 but it was basically a must get anyway.

A 1% shipment curve buff might be fair, but Germany was on the strong side before the nerf. They just got less attention due to the US and Ottomans who were (and at least for the Ottomans), are, still bigger offenders imo.

Someone needs to nerf Inca’s AI on water. Or don’t, I quite enjoy watching humans get their entire fleet wiped out by chincha rafts

they should update the HP to 200 base instead

Yeah, I think a lot of the complains are due to players not knowing how to counter units.

For example Chinaco cav is stated as ‘OP’ unit, when high tier players barelly use them for being considered weak and expensive.
I guess low tier players prettend to stop 30 anti inf horses [6000res] with 10 musketeer [1000res] its just funny to think about it.

Because they are objectively is OP and you are delusional.

People expect to beat them with equal resources of top tier heavy cavalry or heavy infantry, and Chinacos annihilate both with only a few cards.

Any civ without good light cavalry gets wrecked by them.

well they are OP but not in the setting that Pro players use since they need their cards to be OP which will happen in team or treaty games but not really in the high level 1v1 games

Nope, it has been prooved that plain chinaco loses vs plain std Hussar
Plain chinaco also loses vs equal resources of plain heavy infantry [melee musk]

If you want the counter to be stronger you can mix musk + dragoon, but in quantity of resources at least equal to the resources according to the number of Chinacos
