Simple Denmark Updates to Fix the Civ in Age 2 + Simple Poland Nerf

[Kingfisher1787]

I’m not sure you can fix Poland (at least for Team and Treaty, but maybe 1v1 too) without addressing the Folwark rate. It’s 38% higher and everything upgrades off of that. A vill on a folwark is better than a French CDB which has an adjusted rate of just 0.625 (Poles get 0.69).

On Denmark, I don’t think you’re suggestion are bad, but you don’t really address anything other than 1v1. I landed on something like this:

As someone who enjoys the civ, I’d start with something like this and go from there:

Politicians:
Age III:
8 crossbowmen replaced with 6 skirmishers.

MM unit:
Add a 1.5x vs heavy infantry by default.
Counter Infantry Rifling now longer improves them (add a -1x to counteract the +1x that it currently gives them).

Cards:
Tin Soldiers (IV) is +10% hp and +5% siege armor on Skirms, Musks, and Grens, moved to age II.

Fur Trade (I) removed.

Agrarian Reforms (I) nerfed to either +20% on mills (Folwarks are super op imo but can be balanced separately).

Add a new “Royal Guard’s Training” card to age 4 that gives all your Royal Guard units (which is almost everything) +5% attack and hp.

Maybe nerf the extra speed on RG huss a bit. +0.2 is kinda massive imo. +0.15 or 0.1 might be better.

Tin Soldiers is arguably better than a “Ranged Gunpowder Infantry Hitpoints” card, but not by much imo. It’s also just straight worse against probably everyone but Otto until age 3. Moving it to age 2 seems to allow more options in age 2-3.

From my testing, which admittedly doesn’t really include much age 2 play, my biggest issue as Denmark has been vs things like 2x rax musk timings with a little cav added a bit later. I haven’t tried a 12/10 to get up faster, but the timing hits shortly before I hit age 3 and basically just kills everything that comes out of my TC. I’m not against achilles heels existing, but I wanted to make it a bit softer while rebalancing a few late games things hopefully.
