Elite Iron Pagoda looks busy and overdesigned

The iron pagoda Cavalary is very iconic, but the elite upgrade completely destroys their look.

Please reduce the busy looking and over design on the mounted human and the face armor of the horse, just keep them same and add the tasseles and double feather.

Elite upgrade makes me want to turn off the elite skins tbh, it’s such a shame the unit goes from a very clean and well executed to look to this crap.

Iron is literally in the name, it should be steel, why is it 24K gold?

Hopefully the dev team changes this.

The elite would look better if the golden parts were kept in steel.

The Gold virus has infected AOE2 DE from AOE4, oh god I am tired. Those protruding parts look very bad.

Couldn’t agree more, seeing some historically accurate units getting covered in gold is a bummer.

All those units running around with gold helmets in AOE iv is the worst

Abd honestly the Cataphract still has it worse but I agree
