The current Tupi bonus (The Watch Tower line, Bombard Towers, Kreposts, Donjons, and Castles provide +10 population space) doesn’t really fit them – they aren’t people renowned for building towers, yet alone living in them.
I’d like to see it replaced with something else, and give the bonus to a new Vainakh civ instead (Vainakh = Chechen and Ingush people of the Caucasus). Some of them live in towers to this very day!
Sounds like the Vai civ could have the Ethiopians of towers. Arrow towers +2 LoS and wood cost either removed or heavily reduced
Granted I know nothing about these people but more Mule Carts please
I don’t know much either, but they have cool mythology I’ve listened to a podcast about (the Nart Sagas)
A brief research glimpse I see the term Clan Militias and a similar cavalry focus that the other Caucusans had.
So a Clan Militia UT: Militias and Scouts can be trained at Mule Carts and houses.
Maybe trainable at Towers instead? To reinforce the tower identity
Or a civ bonus:
Sure towers and Mule Carts. It just tickles me silly to see a small army of Mule Carts garrisoned with Champions marching up to your doorstep and………..
