[Poll] Lou Chuan for Khitan ? Antibuilding ship for Cumans?

After my poll about giving Hei guang cavalry to the chinese and pasture to the nomadic civilizations another one.

You can still vote here :

It’s seem than Khitan never use any canon on ship.

Do you want to give Khitan the Lou Chuan instead of the Cannon Galleon ?

  • Khitan gain the Loushuan
  • Khitan stay with the Cannon Galleon

Cumans have no anti building ship. They never use gunpowder.

What anti building ship do you want for the cumans ?

  • Galleon canon
  • Dromon
  • None

Also, could you add another poll for americans, that doesn’t have an anti-building ship? (either giving them dromon or a new catapult ship)

I think than the american civilizations need an antibuilding ship but not one of the 3 who are already in the game (canon galleon, dromon and louchuan). This poll is just about things already in the game who can be changed in five minutes.

Also I think we need a counter to the fireship who don’t explode.

It may sound strange, but I strongly believe that the Cannon Galleon should become a regional unit.

Ear me out, according to the game description “the first ship built specifically for carrying cannon appeared in 1406”. So that means the basis for all civilisations should be a Catapul Ship and the Dromon, Cannon Galeon and the Lou Chuan the regional variants.

I feel Cannon Galleons are outclassed, except for the Spanish one.

Both the Dromon and Lou Chuan perform much better against ships than Cannon Galleons, despite all being siege ships. Sure, Cannon Galleons have longer range, but that’s only really useful against a few civilizations.

Cannon Galleons should be as effective against ships as the Dromon and Lou Chuan.

Lou Chuan are pretty good so I don’t think a land locked civ should get them.
Also Khitan already have a bunch of gunpowerder units so none Elite Cannon Galleons work well.

Should they? There are enough other ship units that are good against ships. Portuguese even have a ship UU.

I’d rather see new ship types being added like in Chronicles, that should include gunpowder ships that are good against other ships instead of buildings.

I mean, Cannon Galleons shouldn’t be worse than Dromons and Lou Chuans against ships.

I don’t agree with that.

Elite Cannon Galleons are better against buildings, Dromons and Lou Chuans are better against ships. Different strengths and weaknesses.
Also Lou Chuans are significantly more expensive.

Why would those units have to be unique if they are just the same as (Elite) Cannon Galleons?

Yes having access to them makes civilisations better but so does having access to Camels for example.
