You are basically making every civ the same. Devs have been more or less going this route in the past, and it’s making the game more and more boring. Might as well play full tech mode.
It is about reducing the gap and give chances to other civs when they face a strong civs like these. It will bring much better fair play. Those nerfs are not equal to each others. These civs in this list have a very unfair big advanatges over any other civ.
Yeah, this may be the worst list of balance suggestions I’ve seen in a while. There have been plenty of iffy ones in the past, but they’d at least stumble across a handful of ideas I thought were good. This is just 90% weird homogenizing nerfs that seems to be optimized for turning the civ pool into tasteless sludge. And a few gratuitous buffs that have a similar effect (e.g. Celts Bloodlines). Only things I find vaguely compelling are a possible centurion aura nerf and perhaps Celts getting their infantry speed in Dark Age again, although this probably isn’t necessary after their recent buffs.
Pass.
Gosh! Why didn’t you say so? Guess we’d better go ahead with it then!
I will answer this. Let me ask you a question; are Hindustanis eco is weak? The answer is big NO. So why do you even give them eco buff? 10% free trading fee? They already have great eco with cheaper vills and carnaval building and castle age UT. For Magyars it seems you didn’t try the 25% faster created CA. It gives them the access to have a huge death ball to a unit that it is one of the best and hardest units to counter when get numbers, it is also broken in team games. 15% would be good. For imperial skirms why they even buffed them? The upgrade already was not that much expensive.
Wrong ??? What wrong you said, and hindusti what they have ??? Reduce 300g instead 450 it benefit they worthy get from 2018 not 2023. If not get reduce elephant cost what thing good bonus you are thing ???. This bonus just OK not make it supper good civil
Do you know 25 f for eagle make they not fomular for famous more, and american civil like some one say if not have gold they are not thing but from 20 change to 25 it was nerf much for they,
2 scout need increase from 80f to 90 f or 100 like aoe1. Powerfull trash unit special at late game you say it need reduce 70f @@@ what ???
Civil many things inadequace china at last updated they get nerf very much now you say they need more nerf I can’t understand:v. For many things/.v.v
beside I will create 1 topic for issue about reduce 2 range of skirmisher but + 1 damage melee for they let see how people thing.
