Very unrealistic. No balancing on mind. Just for fun šŸ™‚ ## **Revolutionary France** (or whatever name that sounds better) Age 4 revolution option for French - Settlers and cdb turn into ā€œnational guardsā€ (cheap re-skinned revolutionaries with higher melee, higher speed but lower hp) - All military buildings -50% cost. - Explorer transforms into marshal, which can plant inspiring flags and build forts. - Napoleonic code automatically researched (penalty removed). Young/Middle/Old Guards enabled at church (if not researched already) Cards - Levee en masse: all units now train in batch of 10 - Sans-culottes: national guards can gather trees, mills and estates; enable the training of settlers (85 gold) - Grand Battery: each existing fort spawn a falconet; new forts also spawn a falconet when built - Napoleonic Guards: ship grenadiers. Grenadiers are now equipped with muskets & bayonets - Marshal of the Empire: ship another marshal - Saint-Cyr Military Academy: imperial unit upgrades enabled - 3 horse artillery (infinite) - 2 heavy cannon (infinite) - 6 Mamelukes (infinite, 1000c) - Fort wagon (infinite) - Grenade Launcher (if not sent already) ā€¦ ---

No more inspiring flags please. That is by far the dumbest mechanic theyā€™ve come up with and we donā€™t need more of it. The rest looks solid though. ---

The idea of a revolutionary france would be great imo, but i think the problem is that as now france already incorporate stuff from it, still i have hope that old european civ can be expanded and improved ---

Itā€™s a good idea, after all itā€™s strange Napoleon fighting with the flag of the Borbouns. ---

I had a similar idea for Japan, with the Meiji Restoration doing more than just aging up to Imperial without a wonder: Replacing the normal Japanese units with Western equivalents retextured to look Japanese, and rebalanced a little to benefit from cards sent previously. Basically what happens when Mexicans revolt to Yucatan and then to Maya. ---

Meiji Restoration should change to be another kind of revolution. ---

That would be amazing! I had a very similar idea to try to change the French in the original AOE 3, but I didnā€™t have time to put the idea into practice.
