The Portuguese church tech that gives crossbowmen a pseudo “guard” upgrade is no longer needed as the true guard upgrade is there. This card can be reworked to deliver some cannoneers, etc.

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)

.
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.
I’m going to give feedback on the Lakota specifically involving this.
“Council Teepee” or “Silent Eater’s Teepee” would be the best choice. Chiefs weren’t important enough to have their own special teepee. Councils lead the tribes, literally the sole purpose of a Chief was to get all the Council members into one teepee and keep them on track when they started talking so they wouldn’t sit around gossiping like the bunch of Elders they were.
The Silent Eaters were the most respected warrior society of the Lakota - they were the veterans, too old to keep fighting, but still ready to defend the camp if they needed to.
Do not use this name. I’m not even supposed to talk about this, let alone consider using it in a game, and the effect you’ve given it has absolutely nothing to do with the purpose of the dance in the first place.
Hesapa Gold Rush would be a better name, but that effective is stupid. Unless you plan on letting teepees affect villagers with their auras, that health reduction would leave the Lakota’s poor defenses even worse off than they already are.
Paha Sapa is unrelated to the Warchief. Name this “Thunder Dreamer” and you’ve got a better thematic to go with.
For the Lakota, just add this affect to the Great Hunt card. Might make it a bit strong, but they have no late-game anyway.
If the Lakota special unit was still the Dog Soldier, this might make sense. As it stands, the Tokala Soldiers are firmly a Lakota warrior society. The Cheyenne have nothing to do with them now. Rename to “Eagle Feathers” or “Feathering Ceremony”.
I know this name is really not the best choice, and it is not my first choice too.
I actually chose Ghost Dance as the name of this tech at the beginning because it was used to end American westward expansion. But I am not sure which name is better. The effect of this tech also aims to strengthen the defense capabilities of the base through forms similar to Stream of Enlightenment and Dukkha Suffering.
This effect is free and make the outlaws more useful than other civs, specialized in offensive, so it will sacrifice defense. Similar to other free techs like Thin Red Line, there has to be pain and gain.
Perhaps the HP punishment could be less, from -33% to -15%, maybe.
Cool.
It is already a powerful card.
If you regard that this New Tribe card is not enough for their economy, adding an effect of shipping 1 Covered Wagon is conceivable.
Fine. I agree.
.
The Lakota, as well as other Native Americans, are positioned as a civ strong in the early game and weak in the late game, especially the Lakota and Haudenosaunee are specialized in their offensive, sacrificing defense. All the adjustments are basically in two directions: to make the offensive more deadly, or to make the later struggles easier.
Just as there are shipments of ‘infinite military ships’, why couldn’t there be infinite fishing boats?
Could be like this:
Shipment of 3 infinite fishing boats at age 2. The ‘cheap fishing boats’ card increases infinite fishing boats by +2. (total of 5) Assuming that they are equivalent to 250 wood, but they will be ready to go fishing directly.
The ‘2 infinite settlers’ card could scale the number of villagers it gives out:
Age 1: 2
Age 2: 3
Age 3: 5
Age 4: 8
Age 5: 10
(It will vary depending on the civilization or the type of villager).
I think that many cards could have this effect and there would be no need to put infinite cards proportional to each age. It would be better if the card increased its limit proportionally according to age. (not all, but many cards).
Creo que todas las civilizaciones deberían tener tarjetas de pesqueros equivalentes a las de aldeanos.
Ejemplos: Age I
Tarjeta de 3 aldeanos
Tarjeta de 3 Pesqueros Age II
Tarjeta de 4 aldeanos
Tarjeta de 4 Pesqueros
Tarjeta de 5 aldeanos
Tarjeta de 5 Pesqueros
De esta manera salir al mar sería igual de viable que salir tierra.
Sería interesante que los milicianos dejaran de perder vida y sean mas útiles al final del juego.
La tarjeta podría ser de Age 3 o 4
Milicias avanzadas opción 1:
Los milicianos no pierden vida. + 100% en salud y daño.
Milicias avanzadas opción 2:
Los milicianos no pierden vida y se pueden crear de manera indefinida, (Misma mecánica que las milicias de Estado Unidos).
Quizas sea tarde, pero con respecto a los incas y aztecas una carta que haga referente a los sacrificios seria interesante, como sacrificar aldeanos o soldados para obtener un bonus aun mayor debido al “favor de sus dioses”
Es el bonus del explorador azteca, más experiencia. Yo cambiaría el consejo tribal, que le diera otro bonus, y que el ataque especial se desbloquee solo, como los demás
Maybe too powerful for the Dutch. Changing it into making the settler train time -15% may be better.
Up to 3, as same as the passive effect of the semi civs on the African maps.
There is a card with a similar name “Calendar Ceremony”, so this tech can be renamed to Human Sacrifice.
To put it succinctly, just let the unit cards which are no longer can be sent able to be sent once again.
The term Tawantinsuyu literally means “the four Suyu”, a empire which accesses and conquers the four directions. Peoples from any direction can come and support the empire.
The card Autarky already make Kancha Houses able to generate wood.
To reflect the name of Bursera Graveolens, the effect can be changed into that the villagers gather wood 8% faster, and the friendly units regenerate HP when close to trees and Kancha Houses.
I found that it is too similar to the card Huanka Support of the Incas.
Maybe it should be replaced by other new economic cards.
Tribal Migration (Haudenosaunee and Lakota)
When a TC is destroyed, the economic drop point will spawn a free Covered Wagon after about 1 minute. If there is no drop point after that 1 minute, it will spawn immediately once there is a new drop point.
This effect cannot make the economy better but can keep the economy more easily when the player is behind and under attack, as long as the new economic drop point are protected.
Pochteca (Aztec)
Ships 5 Native Scouts. Makes Native Scouts trickle 0.4 coin and XP, and they trickle double when there is any enemy unit and building in their LoS.
I think this effect can well reflect the meaning of Pochteca. As long as the player let them stealth and keep their safety, there would be good income.
I think the card should make the basic militiamen reusable. Even if they lose life it would be enough for a defensive plan. It should also increase the town center’■■■■■ points by 10%.
Me encantaría una tarjeta que permita a los corrales atraer a los animales salvajes.
Nombre de la tarjeta:
Quizás cebo?
Efecto:
Los animales de caza son atraídos al corral.
Efectos opcionales:
Los animales de caza se recolectan un 5% o 10 % mas rápido cerca de los corrales.
Los corrales cuestan un 25 % o un 50% menos.
Los animales de corral cuestan un 10% o 15% menos.
Los animales de corral engordan un 15% o 20% mas rápido.
Nota: Solo un efecto extra.
Edad de la tarjeta:
Age 1 o Age 2
Nota: Age 3 es discutible
Beneficios:
Fomenta el uso de los corrales a corto plazo.
I think that with the improvement “pioneers” is enough. That is, even though your villagers are exposed from chasing hunting, they will be harder to kill. That is why I have proposed that it be absorbed by the advanced market.
What could be done is to enable a new improvement that prevents the hunt from rotting.
