Idea for Mongols: observation posts

Age of Empires IV IV - Discussion

I’ve returned to the game after a few years off and it seems like Mongols have really fallen off since I last played. They used to be almost like Zerg in SC2 where your units are weaker, but you have vision and fast units all over the map, because of towers with Yam network. However, tower cost and build time increases have made this playstyle much less enjoyable.

These tower changes were done for good reason, so instead of reverting them, why not add a new structure: observation post. Cost: 50 wood, build time: 30s. Effect: provides vision and Yam network like a tower, but can not be upgraded with weapons or garisson units.

If this idea is crazy feel free to let me know.

Just an additional idea: what about a feudal age upgrade that reduces build time and wood cost for Towers? Perhaps acquired at the Ovoo for some stone?

This will give Mongol their mobility back without encouraging Dark Age tower rushes.
