Pitchfork technology

Available in dark age. Cost 100 food. Effect gives villagers plus three attack and and plus five against calvary. Visibly changes villagers to be armed with pitchforks.

Too cheap? What about 200 food?

Make it regional. European only or something.

What is the ingame use of this?and why is it regional?

They can fight against champi and kill scouts.

I also added upgrade possibly costing 200 food instead of 100.

Chinese player using all the villagers to attack your base would be very fun with this.

Include a very cheap unit in the barracks that does bonus damage against villagers. War dogs. Terrible against everything else. Done.

So you want to add something else to balance a bad idea?easier fix dont add the bad mechanic.

The game is not in a good state already so you might as well add other stuff.

Reminds me of the Villagers in RoR from Bronze Age. I wonder why they chose the Stone/Tool Age bone club for the female Chronicles Villager. The other animation is even in the game files, but unused.

How would you compensate for reducing the appeal of Incan/Spanish villagers or indirectly nerfing the cavalry civs?

You have walls, towers, castles, and Halberdiers. There are plenty of ways to protect your villagers.
