Teutons always use Infantry.
A civ without Camels, Lancers, Knights etc… would be pure trash, even worse than Indians.

Not if you actually buff their Trash. Also, Indians are pretty good, even if the recent nerf was unnecessary.
I myself could design it. It would be pretty easy, actually. I would even take away Champion.
The game doesn’t work in that way. Pure trash is a resign strategy. This civ can’t even counter skirmishers and makes no sense historically if you have Teutons.

You can counter Skirmishers with Skirmishers.
Also, the UU would not have the same weaknesses of the regular Spearman line, due to costing Gold.
Fine. Every good archer civ would eat this civ. Imagine Vietnamese/Britons/Mayans/Ethiopians. Rattan Archers and Imperial Skirmishers would completely destroy them, but the most important: they are covered by Teutons=Teutonic Order, Modern Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
This is what I would do.

This civ has no counter to Archer civs. Also no economy bonus. Full Trash is countered by Gold+Trash or Gold+Gold in Castle Age.
They have Wood Only FU ESkirms. They would likely do fine vs Archer civs.
Also, Gold Only HCs and a decent UU + 2handed, BBC with SE and Onager, means they would still have decent Gold units.
You don’t have that upgrade in Castle Age and you don’t care about food in imp when you have 140 villagers.
2handed, Onager and HC are trash.
2-Handeds can even cost food only, because they are not strong.
Onagers can be easily outmicroed by Archers
HC is HC.
That upgrade was the Castle Age UT.
The UU is also a Gold unit that does not take extra damage from anti-Spearmen units.
You also have to account that I gave them a sort of “Infantry Bloodlines” for Halbs and the UU. That would be a 95 HP UU.
That doesn’t matter if it’s the Castle Age UT. You can’t get it in early/mid Castle Age.
Those still don’t counter Arbalest+Skirmisher civs.
Wood Only FU ESkirms and Onagers counter Arb + Skirm civs.
Swiss Pikeman UU takes no extra damage from Skirms, so they would only fear Arbs.
No. All the Archers civs have Siege Rams or/and BBC to counter that.
Well, Swiss have BBC aswell, so they can snipe Rams like most civs that have BBC do.
The civ wins who has better Siege and Archery and Swiss have generic.
Not really, or Goths would not constantly be complained about.
Goths have 120% faster creation, 35% cheaper Infantry, UU from Barracks. Does this civ have any of those?
No, it just has better units, with actual Platemail Armour, so they do not die to Skirmishers and Hussars.
Goths don’t die to Skirmishers and Hussars xD
They literally do. Skirmishers can kill Goths Halbs and Champs, and Hussars murder Huskarls.
