The Spanish are now just a basic Paladin + FU Trash civ, and that is their Imperial Age gameplay. It is not at all bad, but not great either.
Elite Janissaries are useless
Not at all. Elite Jans are way better than HCs and most Archer UUs in the game, they are just expensive to upgrade since you also have +HP HC as Turks at the start of the Imperial Age.
And? Still useless and crap, it’s waste of resources.
I think half is a bit much of a cut. Maybe cost down to something like 800f, 400g
Im also against TriRem’s logic of balance. He would rather see a vanilla soup then certain units become more viable thus adding variety to the meta…
Spanish are certainly no dominating games.
It wont hurt to lower the tech AND give them a minor buff.
As others have argued its boring to keep balancing the game by giving someone a paladin just to make up for some weak UU or whatnot.
Especially nowadays with this one up manship of paladin wars… And people just choosing the best paladin civ
I always said that Paladin was too much of a crutch, and that only 5 civs should have them…
Paladin excuses a lot of poor civ design, just by giving that civ the strongest unit in the game from a cost-effect ratio.
Not against Spanish HC
