Definitely gimmiky, Did Tatoh have a castle in the game? No. No medical corps or herbal medicine is possible without castle forward.
I disagree. Dravidian lackluster stable which has no bloodines and Hussar upgrade is justified using medical corps effect to its elephants. But Medical corps has been universally panned and will be removed soon. If we exclude medical corps, Dravidians can get bloodlines and hussar upgrade. I’m sure this poster below played with Dravidians and experienced the problem of Dravidian stable.
Urumi has no role currently in Dravidian win condition. A castle investment is not worthwhile to make them. So they need to be re-worked with a proper role. Dravidans need a good anti-siege unit. So there we have a role and a redesign to fit that role will be welcome.
Well put.
From my experience, I’m a micro nerd. But with Dravidians, Elephant archers are not that easy to micro like cav archers against siege. Dravidians need a straight counter to Siege which does not need a castle or they need cheap castles to produce siege counter Urumi swordsmen.
