I find it strange that the HRE MAA use 2h mace when fully uppgraded. 2h maces are definetly NOT a european weapon and was NOT used anywhere in europe.
Why not remove 2h uppgrade and heavy mace alltogether. Make all european MAA with veteran upgrade automatic gain 2h weapon with slight reach increase like a halberd or smth.
Give HRE poleaxe uppgrade wich give them +3/+6 to heavy. Poleaxe was used alot in the HRE kingdoms and would give them a better european identity then 2h maces.
It feels like the developers give the asian and middleeastern civs all the cool technology but as usual in movies tv shows and many games, european technology is realy misunderstood and/or lack of knowledge
European plate armour is still not a technology used in this game wich i find strange. Composite bows and poison arrows for the exotic and cool civs but as usual european civs are so dull in comparison.
