Brainstormed new Civs: Poles, Bohemians, Georgians

You right, this is OP

1000 free gold? And makes your knights NOT converted into enemy units right away in Castle Age? I would say that is no pathetic bonus.

? You knights will still be converted if the other player doesn’t have heresy

I made Bohemian Stable preaty weak, so knights arent preferable. But Siege…

What?
No.
Heresy works on Our Units - Our Unit dies, when converted by enemy. This works against enemy monks, cuting their potential in half, because they take out our unit, but not gain one.

I know Im being really harsh but when I have important problems with all the bonuses and the imperial UT, so… its just not very good. Yeah more than 25 gold be too much, maybe even lower.

Make the Georgian UT cheaper towers or much higher castle hp or even castles fire +3 arrows

Lol then I’ve been misreading it for 10 years :slight_smile:

I mentioned in a previous post that polish seemed a good idea as you could make a polish-lithuanian co op campaign pretty easily and have it make sense

Modern nationalities should not be counted for a medieval game.

As per wiki first known start was 1645 but maybe they started earlier too.

Indeed, The population in Azerbaijan spoke a Persian language until the late 17th century. It was later Turkified.

Sorry, but I’m really intreasted here. Where did You found informantion that at Grunwald Polish-Lithuanian army had a lot of infantry ? There isn’t any medieval info that at Grundwald Infantry was used.
Lithuanian and Tatars were mostly light cavalry. While Polish army contain heavy knights with lighter armored serjeants and mounted archers and crossbowmen.

It would be interesting to give poland a foot uu and the full knight line just to make them different from magyars or lithuanians.

If so, maybe kinda fictional, but 2H Axeman would nice addition. Perhaps he would work like infantry Leitis.

We dont have any uu with a 2 handed weapon so it would be a nice addition.for scenarios we have the magyar and lithuanian uus.

So it appears that in the Battle of Gruenwald, Sigismund Korybut also participated. He was a military commander for the Bohemian troops during the Hussite wars. So Poles and Bohemians fit quite nicely in the battle. And as I read more, the Alexander the Good, a Voivod of Moldava also participated! It’s a match made in Heaven!

Poles, Bohemians and Moldavans in the new DLC would be perfect. Though I think we’ll get the Serbs instead.

Poland had crossbow eaerly, as well as javs, throwing axes etc etc. They had strong gunpowder weaponry as well. Really there are a few options to choose from, cav or infantry

May be a pain in the bum to balance haha. Pretty interesting

Another note. Grodys Could replace the TC, with more HP, defense and attack (but more expensive).

Your linked wiki page says it was used until ~800AC, so it was not common in AOE2 timeframe anymore. Plus more expensive tc sounds rather than a nerf than a bonus. And ut for TC upgrades are not really used afaik.


700s is well within Time period. And that’s when they stopped being built. They were still well used and maintained
More expensive but is stronger, bigger LOS, bigger attack, more garrison room.

+4 from attack upgrades wr blacksmith. For a total of +8. So this gives the cav civ a much better version of the Lithuanians bonus which is already highly contentious (it’s better because it is guaranteed and they don’t have to fight for relics to get the bonus).

In castle age, where you would build them they are not fitting. And also more expensive means not more than one can be built reaching castle age meaning you’re always outboomed by your opponent. Plus balancing on nomad maps would be hard. It’s already with Persians TC douche. To make it short I dislike the idea.

Ok how about:
Start with a Gord instead of TC.

Extra TCs proceed as normal.
In nomad, the first TC you build is instantly a Gord.

Or maybe like AoM, you can upgrade existing TCs to Gords individually.
