Yeah, on the face of it, the inherent Civ Bonus is rather light compared to others now. All the other Manor-related quirks are hidden in HC cards - I wish they could combine some, or even introduce some kind of navy bonus (the very few unique navy shipments aside) - some kind of modernization option, Royal Marines, slightly cheaper/faster aspect, IDK.

All I am seeing is that china now has a counter to grens
again these patches continue to have the feel of “alright i can see something here and then…eh come again?”
edit: like the tomma nerf…can we atleast have the instant firing animation back?
Thanks, didn’t know the shorthand.
Ok Samurais with over 100 siege and snipe buildings at 14 range is very funny

Samurai are gonna be super annoying late game. Imagine those with Ottoman gren/Abus…
at this point I think they are operating under a 50/50 policy
If it makes 50% of people mad and 50% happy by laming and making the other 50% madder then it works

they are on the other side. For every person being crushed by the boots of mexico/otto/giant gren cheese there is a person doing it.
edit: I am guilty of it myself, sometimes if there is a random game and people are just doing whatever, you will just like do a chinaco FI and just roll the game over

I was playing cleaner before… I’ve been laming the extended age 1 brit boom into Gentleman of the pike/church Rangers cheese a bit lately… I don’t think it’s the worst one out there. I don’t really play Ottoman.
Giving samurai a mortar attack is the single worst idea I’ve seen since humbs were added. The only thing this does is allow for laming—it does nothing else.

If they give it a 5 rof or something that could work. But not like this.
They’ll throw their swords and insta kill many, many tens of units at a time like the jedi they were born to be… lol
I mean the undead and souless can play games too
Why couldn’t they just rework Morutaru to be Odzutsu? Morutaru is a boring Mortar clone that may or may not have been a real thing. As far as I can tell, “morutaru” is just a translation of mortar and not a common weapon term. All that shows up when I search “モルタル” is stuff about masonry mortar.

Yet again, neither pop, nor shadowteching are not count in shipment value. Period.
I know its not only Ethiopia mistreated, but these changes are totally unnecessary.
Like spain has 9 mounted infantry card, same res cost.
We cannot Punish ethipian shipments for its civ bonus aka shadowtech natives, its just dumb.
Existing cards were already balanced, what is not balanced are, for example nerfed cannoneers (if you #### #### ################## 7 cannoneers shipment age 2 (aka 7140=980inf) while actual shipment value is 1200.
12 cannoneers in age 3 even better (12140=1 680inf) but overall its 1k inf+ shipment 1k worth.
IMHO u keep conquistadors shipment and revert cannoneer shipments cuz african civs already have their card pool 70% unplayable.
I am also aware it happens for other civs, but im speaking for Ethiopia.
P.S. im aware that 7 pistoleer is busted shipment despite being 1 750 res, my answer is that cost of unit is invalid and design is bad.
Like Ozutsu from AOE 4 Japanese civ
Hopefully in an Asian rework

Yeah, I agree with you, especially as AOE4 has a sole Odzutsu unit.
I’d rather they give AOE3 Japan the Odzutsu as a typical unit. Make it essentially a grenadier with the Grenade Launcher shipment ‘built in’ to it as default (with the downside that it doesn’t get particularly powerful compared to other Grenadier types).
Japanese weren’t too fussed about mortars (though impressed by the Dutch who showed them off) in the grand scheme of things.
I’d gladly give a hyperthetical Korean civ that mortar unit (heck even its description talks more about Korean artillery!).
it could have been a fun new unit, issue with japan is that if anything their siege dmg is already amazing, japans issue is not siege dmg.

Army reform for a westernised army would be nice. For china and Japan. Granted that may make the mejii restoration worth it finaly.
