Gambeson armor tech affect on unique units

A bit unrelated, but condo are not great tough given their Gold cost, and i would have licked Italians to get the tech AND affect condo as well, since they have 0 base PA

Asyde from that yes, infantry UU should be more like condos in terms of “uniqueness”

That sayd, i think that all infantry UU should benefit from gambison. If supplies would be OP for some UU, the +1 PA could help pretty much the entire bunch and keep up with milita improvements, and would still be needed to build a barrack and research the upgrade so not a “free” buff

Don’t consider giving it a bonus against cavalry as well? They don’t have halberdiers, so a gold unit that has about the same damage to cavalry as Pikeman but is more versatile is a vacant role. According to records, the macuahuitl was sharp enough to even decapitate a conqueror’s horse.

It’s still probably more commonly used against units than buildings so the effect is fine against units. Even it is as same as Keshik, infantry and cavalry are different enough.

An archer mode or a cavalry archer mode with a pretty low basic attack and a decent attack bonus.
Anti-UU is its unique niche. Improving the ability to counter ranged UUs is the next thing it should do.
