Burgundians

Slavs

  • Boyars gold cost reduced to 70 (was 80).

You will find this weird but Fetoria is broken and need a nerf, just nerf it’s work rate.
Burmese

  • Now access to 2nd archer armor upgrade.
  • Elite Arambai get +2 attack.

  • Recive Bracer.

  • Kipchak rate of fire reduced to 1.9 (was 2.2).

  • Cuman Mercenary UT
    This UT need to be removed completely and give them something better.

P.S. I made many changes on the topic after many discussions about the balances, many things were removed/added to it and make it different from the first one and from many comments on the topic.

I have things disagree with but this is the best proposal I have ever seen in this forum.

I think these are unneccessary

Remove this completely

Too big nerf

Ok I got rebuked by proposing 2 scouts at start but this is fine? All gold units are 25% cheaper?

I guess the name Mughals would be better than the Delhi Sultanate.

I would prefer to change the name of the Korean War Wagon to Dongwu Che, or simply Korean Chariot.

1 Like

Neither of them would be great. Mughals are Post-Medieval, Delhi Sultanate was a big Empire, not people and civilizations are named after different people: Rajputs would be a great name imo.

Historical accuracy is good, but War Wagons are completely OP at the moment.

first of all 2 scouts at start means that dark age just became a nightmare for the other civ, and second of all, its not 25% cheaper. its a gold return on death - which means you still pay full price. units have to actually DIE to get any value out of it.

to the op, i highly doubt your name changes go through and i’m still not convinced Burgundians need a nerf to their Eco already. you can’t possibly say its imbalanced after only one week.

as for your saracens changes - too big a buff to the mameluke - how would you even counter the unit?

not sure Aztecs need to be nerfed again, and i think you overnerf Mayan eagles.

…You are yet another guy suggesting balance changes in this forum, while not playing the game at all (at a proper level)…

They are currently strong but let them to settle and see how to manage them.

Mames and Madrasah needs changes yes but the cav archer bonus is just a copy of the cuman bonus, not original.

Don’t touch the effect but I would rather reduce the cost.

Pfff good luck trying to deny the OP Daut Castles in Arena and OP trushes, War Wagons just need the base attack and bonus vs buildings reduced not more. And DON’T TOUCH TH FREE ARCHER ARMOR.

That’s too much.

Very random bonuses,.

Mangudai is fine.

Feitoria is fine.

WTF Arambai needs more nerfs no buffs.

Most of the bonusea deny the identity of the civ

Mayans without Siege Rams are trash. How are they gonna take down buildings?

Kipchaks being less range less gold Cav Archers is their identity - Quantity over quality

Burmese missing 2nd archer armor is the identity

People have been suggesting Plate barding armour for a long time now, and it makes sense from a balancing and historical sense. The free house space also isn’t out to lunch since the Goths historically moved en masse (Berber vil movement speed would also be a good one but is taken) so I’d rather have even +20 pop room right at the start than the +10 in post-imp.

Likewise the instant Loom is nearly useless and a joke.

I play the game and I am 16xx elo yeah not that much, but this doesn’t mean I can’t know what need a nerf/buff. Now go and cry

Aztecs monks are sick and they need a nerf. About Mayans they have tons of bonuses and advantages they really need a nerf. Mameluke maybe I gave them too much but lets start with the cost and TT.

It is not 25% cheaper, it is a return when they die, and yes Indians civ name need a change.

I agree with you, so what do you suggest?

How about Zakat: camels return 33% gold when they die.
Or Aqidah: camels gain +3 bonus vs archers.

YES.

Oh god no.

How about getting +20 pop in the imperial age, instead of 10.

I like this, but in that case arambai should have -1/0 base armor.

YES.

Their problem is only in feudal and early castle age. I’d reduce exclusively the cost of the second TC in feudal to make it 30% cheaper or something. Tbh I don’t know how to fix their second TC but it needs to be addressed.

This could work.
But I’d remove the blacksmith bonus and replace it with barrack techs are 30~40% cheaper.
Or free eagle upgrades.

They don’t need a nerf at all.

Increase it only to +5 gold.

NO.

No, because camels already cheap and they are already strong with Saracens, 25% return gold for all is better.
