Maybe they can lose Husbandry as well as PT.
He is not that active for a while now.
Medical corps is used a lot.

Tbf even without husbandty its borderline broken. Theees many civs who lack a umit faster than 1.4 speed or a good anti archer unit with 9 or more range
But I can live with it at leasr
Final Chimu design from Admiral Wololo.

A civ with an Imperial Age UT that turns Knights into trash units (like Persian Xbows and Malay 2-Hand-Swordsmen). Obviously no Cavalier nor most of cavalry improving techs. Somewhere in the steppe or the Sahel? Or maybe in the Balkans?
Except we have Szlatchics who are gold discounted knights
I know, but these would be even cheaper at the cost of missing techs and the Cavalier upgrade.
Trash camels are another possibility.
Better fit for this thread

Piracy was there since antiquity but as you said can you call it a seperate civilization?but then again we have the 3k factions.
Main problem with this civi is everything is water based no water civi is doomed.

Yeah but it wasnāt a nation / civ, more a way of living.
Thatās why I thought about a land unit as UU, and not a ship. However itās true this civ concept is doomed on a non-water maps ahaha.
We have a civi called vikings which is also similar.
With a little more work this civi could work too.Every pirate nation such as Corsairs woku orang laut dutch sea beggers all had land holdings to supply them.
How about the Wokou, the Ryukyuan-Japanese-Chinese pirates that terrorized the Eastern seas?
Though Iād rather see a Ryukyuan civ with a Wokou UU rather than a Wokou civ.
Yeah ā¦ But ā¦ Itās not exactly the sameā¦ Viking topic is more like āSea Peopleā, a common way of living, and fighting, while Pirates were just āsea guys generally out-law by at least one country they harrassedā.
Itās my goal on my naval project, with other civs inspired from AoE3 civs (Maltese, Venitian, etc)
But I think Iāll have multiple āpirateā type faction, such as frenchy Buccaneer, etc. However I donāt know yet if I do them as part of other civ, or if I take a base civ and then pick what type of pirate it is. Will disguss about it in a dedicated topic in a close future =P

Maybe it could be the Dutch? The āpirateā civ I mean.
Or the Frisians.
Pier Gerlofs Donia campaign would be epic af
I donāt know if Vandals count as pirates but definitely a plunder and destroy civ that navalized hard.
Whatever new Raider civ we get a civ with a Bulk focus feels needed
Dutch are more traders and rebels against the spanish rather than dedicated to piracy as identity.
But I got them too in my todo.
Something like the Vandals to play into the plunder angle.
I know I did a Vandals in the past but itās time to be reborn!
Vandals: A naval and cavalry civ

Vandal Town Centers spawn with a dead boar that decays at a third the rate of a normal boar.

Demo ship upgrades free

Cavalry do +2/3/4 damage vs cavalry units in Feudal/Castle/Imperial. Ranged cavalry only do +1/2 in Castle/Imperial.
Team Bonus: Demo ship damage does not taper off on anything in its blast.
UU: Plunderer - torch throwing anti building unit. Does massive standard building damage and some small bonus vs siege and boats. Units that can be repaired are set on fire taking minimal damage and if killed while on fire the Vandal gets 20% of the units cost plundered.
