They got nerfed a long time ago. In Range 16 to 14. The Heavy infantry multiplier. 2x to 1.25x. And the damage. 18 to 14. Give it all back. Its ridicolous when a 19 century Machine Gun have less Range and Damage than a Age 3 Skirm. Lol

It… actually makes sense oddly enough, famously a problem the french had when trying to deploy machine guns is that they tried to use them as artillery, even though machine guns didn’t have anywhere near that effective range. When used as field guns they are as famously game changing as everybody knows they are, but their range isn’t anything to write home about.
Particularly a relatively small machine gun like one you’d mount on a camel that’s already semi-fantastical as it is.
Its better to err on the side of overnerfing versus a unit being OP. A single OP unit like the gatling gun or the hakapelit in the past can really screw up the entire game for everyone.
