A more proper setting for a Chinese civ in the timeframe of AOE3 could be based on “九边”,“屯堡”,“驻扎大臣”,“驻防将军”, etc. They all involved in a large number of border conflict against both foreign powers and local natives.
如果把中国文明在游戏中表示为“建设边境城市”，代入感、历史感都能得到大幅增强，因为可以把明清两代的边境开拓史、移民史都做进去。印度历史我不太了解，但是日本也可以做类似的设定改动——设定为玩家在为幕府将军建立新的海外领地。至少在真实历史上，日本拿下了虾夷地，所以游戏里完全可以稍微“架空”一下，16-17世纪的日本人也确实在东南亚建立过不少社区呢。
It would be as easy as adding a Mosque to ottoman consulate. Indian consulate is the only one without any lategame buff.
I dont know why it would be OP in supremacy as it would need an investment of export (so no armies from cons) and resources for techs. Also, if you want to send it earlier you would need to use 300 export card (so no units or crates).
This way they wouldnt need 5 training cards, a ridicoulous ammount.
Not needed to be the same exact upgrades
Who argued it would be OP in supremacy though?
Like, I think everybody agrees that the system the Indians have to compensate right now is very much a tad silly.
