With new meta without pro scouting Rus needs buff. Everyone wanted Rus to go in feudal on map, okay, we have it now, we could adapt but…
Normal civ(175 wood):
- mil 75 wood
- tower 100 wood
Haunting civ(Rus, 275 wood): - mil 100 wood
- tower 175 wood
Feudal:
So haunting civ should have a discount for wild animals, which means going for deer or boar should be cheaper. So what I’m proposing is to decrease the price for tower to 110 wood and for haunting cabin to 80 wood(yea, haunting cabin can generate gold, but after nerfs not so much anymore).
So tower would be cheaper and Rus would be a bit more defensive after pro scouting nerf in feudal.
Castle:
Rus has nothing special in the castle except horse archers which are not so useful in terms of map control after nerf(I played and I know that they are too weak right now).
So again:
expensive tower with only springald emplacement, no fortify upgrade.
No stone wall to stop riding.
So what I propose is to lower the price for springald because it is the only option for Rus towers, like 50 gold&80 stone or add fortify upgrade to wooden fortress.
Don’t say that a stone wall is not so useful, it is good to have this option to wall some tree line whole.
I think for this season I will have to switch to French because Rus is without any teeths till Imperial(we have streltsy and this is the only advantage nowadays)
