Some "new" cards for ancient civilizations

Age of Empires III: DE III - Discussion
13

Continued. For the American natives mainly.
I don’t know if the dev will check these but I wanna share my ideas.

American Native Capitol

Basing on the New Changes above, all civilizations have an equivalent building to the capitol.
Immigrants, Blockade, Spies and Legendary Native Warriors have to be researched at there.
The 6 warriors can be levied at TC multiple times, similar to militiamen levy. American civs having this capitol can strengthen warriors and spawn additional warriors. (The effect of Alarm Ceremony is changed into strengthening their attack and shortening the cooldown.)

Their name:

  • Longhouse of the Grand Council (Haudenosaunee)
  • Silent Eater’s Teepee (Lakota)
  • Teocalli (Aztecs)
  • Acllahuasi (Incas)

Same as the European capitol, these non-European capitol will start to generate 3 EXP per second too. Besides that, they can be build in the Industrial Age, up to 1, having 3 new techs researchable in the Industrial Age.

  • Defensive Warfare (common big button)
    The American native capitol get more HP, able to attack and receive shipments.
    Makes the rate of fire of all the buildings which can attack faster by 20%.

  • Renegade European Legion (Haudenosaunee)
    Ships 5 Halberdiers, 2 Cuirassiers and 1 Captured Mortar.
    All renegade cards become free and available multiple times.

  • Cover Shooting (Haudenosaunee)(No cost)
    Mantlets and Huron Mantlets cost more wood, but move faster and have more attack bonus against the archer and rifle infantry.

  • Ghost Dance (Lakota)
    Villagers and Healers get the passive ability to reduce the HP of enemy units nearby by 10%. (No stack.)

  • Hesapa Gold Rush (Lakota)(No cost)
    Outlaws cost cheaper and use fewer population, but Villagers and buildings -33% HP.

  • Aztec Calendar (Aztecs)(No cost)
    Ceremonies get more efficiency by 15% at Community Plaza, but Villagers’ gathering speed -5%.

  • Triple Alliance (Aztecs)
    Ships 2 Aztec War Chiefs, but reduces their ability of the EXP bounty from +100% to +50%. (Able to stack.)

  • Inca Road System (Incas)(No cost)
    Adds one shipment, and make the EXP requirement of the shipment of all players -20%.

  • Tawantinsuyu (Incas)(Team)
    Makes all the native warriors cards, mercenary cards, tribe support cards and ban armies cards from Home City able to be send once again before the Imperial Age.

New Cards for American natives

.
I try my best to find relevant information and avoid stereotypes.
If there is any better name to reflect the relevant effect, comments are welcome.

I have also redesigned and researched Asian civs in order to improve their political and cultural inaccuracy, while at the same time minimizing interference with existing mechanics and playing strategies. Expected to be shared in this forum in a few days. See ya.
