I donât think there needs to be a different breed of cattle for every faction, but I did have an idea for a second European cattle type that could be available to nations like Spain and Portugal who canât train cows and could make for some interesting cards.
Bulls
-
Can fatten up to 700 food, and have greater health (greater health helps prevent them being sniped, African cattle could also benefit from this)
-
Basically a toned down version of âBig Bennyâ for European Cattle (Big Benny should also only be shipped 75% fattened, the Prized Bull card is a bit too strong as is)
-
Available from home city cards (would allow Spain and Portugal some limited access to Cattle)
Cards
Bullfighting (Spain, Portugal, and possibly Mexico)
- Ships several Bulls
- Fully flattened livestock now grant experience when killed
- Possibly a more specific name and other benefits:
Matador - Also buffs Explorer (works best for Spain and Portugal)
Picador - Also ships Lancers with the Bulls
Running with the Bulls (Spain)
- Ships several Bulls
- Arrives quickly and increases Settler speed (would be entertaining to watch it go through the Home City)
Rodeo (USA, Mexico, Spanish Revolutions)
- Ships several Bulls
- Improves cavalry training time (practice from riding bulls/broncos)
