Sadly, this politician is roughly used among the european civs, other than the spanish logisitician strategies, the rest are just too expensive and time consuming to choose.
The unique effects are perfect for most civs and really get you into staying long games in age2, specially with the arsenal wagon. I think there should be a standarization of the politician or a cost reduction to make it more attractive. Like a normal #### age up, but a bit weaker.
For the standarization, I really like the rax+arsenal wagons combo. Specially with the unique effect for some civs, I’d like to see this formula among more civs, like Ports, which never age up with it, or Germans. All of this to encourage more age2 play instead of only FFing, which tbh is the most common style in 1v1 ranked.
