It’s like saying slavs and Celts are similar for siege and infantry bonuses
Burmese rarely touch the archery range, Bengali 100% rely on it
Bengali monks are tough but can’t tech remotely as easily as Burmese can
But most importantly, Bengali don’t have the infantry that Burmese have to defend siege. This is the main difference imo. Bad champ line, mediocre pikes
Which imo makes Bengali the better candidate for a siege buff without being oppressive
I know. But people are more judgmental on BE civs than non-BE civs.
JokerPenguin will get a Penguin in a joke balance change patch.
Maybe EA + monk + mango behind will be a legit strategy, not a meme. At least in Arena. Even in Arabia, monk is pretty good against cavalry and camel. 3 Bengalis monks will kill 6 camels for sure.
The reason some people are having huge download sizes is because most of the game’s graphics will be replaced with a more modern efficient format.
And it will result in smaller size of game folder. For game with UHD graphics, it will occupy 20 GBs less than before. And game without UHD will occupy 5 GBs less than before.
Was explained by one of the FE devs in a modding discord
The new value IS intentional, but now the more sheeps you garrison in a single mill, the less food that mill generate per sheep.
I did some tests with the new values :
~7 food/minute for 1 sheep
~12 food/minute for 2 sheeps garrisonned inside a single mill
~16 food/minute for 3 sheeps garrisonned inside a single mill
~19 food/minute for 4 sheeps garrisonned inside a single mill
~22 food/minute for 5 sheeps garrisonned inside a single mill
~24 food/minute for 6 sheeps garrisonned inside a single mill
~26 food/minute for 7 sheeps garrisonned inside a single mill
~28 food/minute for 8 sheeps garrisonned inside a single mill
~30 food/minute for 9 sheeps garrisonned inside a single mill
~31 food/minute for 10 sheeps garrisonned inside a single mill
~56 food/minute for 8 sheeps garrisonned inside 8 different mills
Bruh, people have been asking for the Crusader skin for ages (well, since they became a thing).
But also, penguin riding a polar bear is something I didn’t know I needed. There’s also some changes to fit regional identity with the mesoamerican M@A flair.
Slightly disappointed the skin mods for the last event are old mods, I thought you could get them already even if you missed the events, but whatever.
I would also love regional monks, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’d come similarly to how new trade carts came - without any event mods, but just with an update.
Dravidians and Bengalis are also nerfed. They are hit by the Archer nerf. 3/3 armor will not do anything on open maps, while on closed maps Bengalis will be a great civ.
Dravidians will have decent lategame, like average. They will still really struggle in Castle Age.
wrong, Hauberk is virtually a non-issue in majority of games, it’s not like most games go to post-Imp. Sicilian Knights AND Light Cav tanking Pikeman so well though, allow for a very easy 1 TC Castle Age all-in. The normal counter would be Monks into Pikes, too bad you need A LOT of Pikemen to beat this flood (unfeasible amount).
Elephant Archers might actually be a rly solid option in Imp actually, they are already good vs Knights and now they are better vs Skirms, a lot of cav civs lack last armor for Skirms, too.
In fact I am not sure how most civs will beat them once the Indian player gets EA mass. It looks like Skirmishers will be good only if your civ gets FU, while cav, even early Burgundian Paladin or Sicilian Hauberk Cavalier probably won’t do much.
they have faster firing Skirms, FU Crossbows and a very easy Pike transition. Dravidians were always fine in Castle Age, it was Imp where they were weak.
The Crusader skin could be added easily via mods as its graphics already existed in the game. What we need is more graphical assets for the game as its not easy for modders to make custom skins for this game of the right graphical quality without access to the original game sprite graphic files that the devs have. Hence the devs should take the lead on this.
I think these 2 civs just need to forget archer and play EA. That’s the idea behind it.
Also I have a feeling that Bengalis Siege Elephant will be OP in some situation.
