Lithuanians:
Current Hill forts: Town Centers +3 attack range
Suggested Hill Forts: Town Centers +3 attack range and +2 attack
Crenelation in Castle age has no counter, totally broken.
Giving them more rounded armor bonus remover ntheie character instead of sharpens it in my opinion.
Removing paladin, giving scout kind just remk es edges from game design, only civ with paladin without husbandry, only civ with just scouts. Next we givw turks pikemen and eskiem but remove hussar. Again this destroy their character.
Giving siege meele and pierce armor is op and again destroy their character more than improves it.they don’t need late game buffs on black forest.
It’s a Teuton bonus that was changed for Lithuanian use with the effect of it coming from a unique tech and less powerful. The +2 attack will give hill forts more use and seperate it from Teutons while giving Teutons a balanced version of their old town center bonus.
It was added to Lithuanians due to it being a balanced version and it coming from a tech - the teutons can have a different version from Lithuanians and have a balanced version as well to return them to their roots.
13 range castles is fine, and the price of the tech will balance it and the price can be balanced.
The original devs had limited ability to patch the game and bonuses, they knew what they were doing and played it safe.
Your claim is that I’m claiming it was stolen from Teutons - that is false.
It was removed from Teutons for good reason, changed to something more balanced / that being said now that a more balanced version has reared its lovely head we now have the ability to reunite Teutons with the original vision which was stifled by limited ability to patch and change the balance as needed.
The idea of it would be understandable if one only thinks of the original Teuton bonus. It was not stolen from the civ, but it was added to the lithianians with Teutons’s old bonus in mind - but it was not removed from the Teutons for the sake of Lithuanians gaining it later. Again I’m saying that the bonus is back on another civ with an old Teuton bonus that is now balanced yet weak as you’ve said that hardly anyone researches it, so +2 attack would help with that. Crenellations in castle age is fine and adding +3 range to town centers on top of that is the perfect way to return the bonus in a balanced version.
Defensively the extra range on castles and town centers solidifies the Teuton Identity which was established at the birth of the civilization and changed due to balance reasons with very limited patch-ability-possible-attempts from the very capable original devs. It would be a great boon for the civilization’s original vision for their bonus to make a return in a balanced fashion.
If not with Crenelations then as a stand alone castle age bonus.
Because it started much earlier than castle age originally - and as you’ve said -‘hill forts is weak’ giving lithuanians +2 attack will change that into a decent bonus and differentiate it from the Teutons’ weak +3 town center range.
