This is an anaccurate analisis, franks light cav is the worst in the game (even teutons scouts are better) and their ES have the same range of turks feudal skirms. They only have better halbs, but turks have better hussars soā¦
In feudal they can defend themself, and untill they can have gold, they are playable, there are about 7 civs with good trash on more 30 civs.
In team games, franks just spam paladins with 192HP.
Why not? One canāt simply tech into paladins and jannis, and artillery and so on, it would give them more flexibility without making them OP.
It outrange other BBC, and I would choose SR over SE everytime.
Again, teutons, with BL and +1/+2 MA have better scout line.
Because they struggle vs archers, and because, like the majority of civs, are weak on arabia 1v1, but trash-scorps wouldnāt fix those problems.
I do not want yet another Paladin civ. every civ that has paladins, just goes for it unless they are Celt level Paladins (missing 2 upgrades).
It is way too over-efficient a unit.
Ive seen few times, many people want make Sipahi affect scout line. But Turk scouts are very good as they are, and this not realy fit the Tech. Sipahi were the medium-heavy Cav, not the light cav. So i propose make Sipahi affect knight-line. +20HP Cavaliers are not broken.
For me, saying that Turks need Paladins more than a buff in no gold situations, is very very very strange⦠pretty sure that this is not the general feeling⦠anyway if trashpions is a worse idea than Turks Paladins, it is my problem if I cannot figure out why
But why not? Heavy Cav is good with killing archers, and this is where Turks strugle. Turks almost dont play Cav (though they can) . SO now they will be less predictible in Castle, and have good option in Imperial.
My question is: what buff do the Turks need? Late game with gold? If yes, Paladins is good. Otherwise, if you say that they are ok with trash (I am against this) they need no buffā¦
This is a different philosophy with respect to buff the trash. I will wrap up the discussion and I will keep these two separated.
Why should this be broken? Just because Paladins upgrade is more expensive? UT techs of Bulgarians and malians are very good as well, but I think that this is not as Paladins. Clearly the advantage is that you spare gold and that it is faster that Paladins. And the goal of this design (which I do not like) is to close the game asap, to avoid to go in a trash warā¦
