I like pretty much every change in this update, some really nice new cards and quality of life changes and basically a full ottoman rework. A lot of small changes to the unique church techs as well, nice change for brits red line tech giving +25% hp as always but now only a 10% speed penalty which you could counter with advanced arsenal speed tech, might be used now.
Only thing I’m disappointed about is they forgot to add the #### ########## age 1 card feitorias which is mentioned, loaded up straight away to try it out because I miss playing ports and the cards not there.

My opinion on this update: overall loved it, though I think some civs got way more than others.
On the positive:
- I do believe that the French, Germans and Ottomans are fully updated now (maybe Ottomans could stand to get 1 or 2 new Cards in the future, but they’re mostly done now) and they’re the highlight of this update.
- The balance updates are overall reasonable and might shake the meta up a bit.
- The new maps have a nice concept.
On the not so positive:
- It feels like some minor “mistakes” were still left in the game (Ports having a tech called Encomienda Manor, p.e.) that happen to have easy fixes (just rename them) but whatever.
- Some civs feel like they didn’t get as much needed dedication (Ports, Dutch, Indians) and some got absolutely shafted (Japanese and Russians) so maybe some minor updates in the future would be good for these civs.
Maybe I’ll write my full opinion on some of these changes in the future.

Whenever we get a big update or DLC there are always the melodramatic types that call the game dead. Go back to AoE3 or leave the game completely. I’ll never understand how some people be can so negative during a period of time when the game is receiving support and new content.
The new Ottomans are a blast btw.
Thank you devs!

Im still waiting for future updates for those civs tho.
Ok Japanese, better?
On the whole, what an amazingly packed update - thank you Devs!
As a side note, what do people think about the Brit updates? I kind of feel they’re losing their water unit prowess apart from the free battleship shipment. They should be all about mid-late decent water shipments

The changes of Germans and Ottomans are very worth looking forward to! The concept of Princely Bavarian Chevaulegers and the new Ottoman infantry with bows is very similar to what I had come up with, which makes me happy.
Let’s welcome Scottish Immigrants. And, I’m still looking forward to the addition of Portuguese immigrants. By the way, may British Immigrants to be renamed English Immigrants or something?
The use of Dutch Envoy is only marginally better in theory thanks to Peace of Münster, but is still fairly niche. Nice to see the Flemish and Belgian Revolutions, only as cards would let the flags and home city still belong to the home country after the revolution (especially for the Belgian revolution) if I’m not mistaken. These are a bit of a shame and may be worth more tweaking.
Not quite sure what Revolutionary France option means. Is it a new option in the revolution mechanic or is it just simply to convert Coureur des Bois into Sansculottes to achieve the same effect as the conversion of Settlers into Revolutionaries?
Glad to see the Portuguese having some changes, although I would have liked to see more changes to encourage rush rather than turtle (such as something like politicians making the age advance give a Fort Wagon instead of a TC Wagon). It is a pity that Organ Gun, which is a symbol of inaccuracy, has not been fundamentally changed.
Although not urgent, the French, Spanish and Russian Tongues of Maltese have not changed, which will keep these three cards in a tasteless state. I’m still looking forward to the addition of the Italian Tongue.
As we all know, the 3 Asian civilizations deserve a lot of updating. I hope this is already on the way. Maybe wait until the Japanese is introduced in AoE IV?
Anyway, thanks to the developers for their great efforts.

It’s a really fun revolt, the villagers don’t gather as fast as normal but you have a card to increase their gather rates and they train in batches of 5 really fast like military units. They become really strong as well, wiped out 50 brit musk with them.
