I am once again asking for more specialized politician naming

Age of Empires III: DE III - Discussion

There are some existing politicians with too different effects, and those that are unnecessarily re-used in multiple ages. To avoid confusion, some should be separated out for their specialized effects:

The Logistician (age 2)
This one is the most problematic. It covers too many different effects across civs. I’d only keep the military wagon related ones as logistician.
Arsenal-related ones: The Gunsmith or The Armorer
Spanish: The Conquistador (ironically this effect is the most related to the logistician)
Portuguese: The Bandeirante

The Logistician (age 4)
This one is duplicate and the effect is not related to the age 2 version.
Rename to The General of Fortifications, based on Marquis de Vauban as it delivers a fort wagon.

The Mercenary Contractor (age 5)
Duplicate.
Rename to The Foreign Legionnaire for the bonus on “foreign” units.

The Inventor (age 2)
Duplicate.
Rename to The Aviator or simply The Balloonist, based on the Montgolfier brothers.
(Not changing the age 5 version due to Leonardo’s tank for Italians)

Feel free to write your ideas if you have better ones.

I think it would be better if the politicians directly functioned like the Age UP of the American civilizations. Each politician owns a basic effect and they deliver two unique cards that help a strategy.

PS: This would make sense with the core game mechanics and allow you to get the most out of umbrella civs. :slightly_smiling_face:
