They buffed Gurjaras

Not nearly as bad as causing players to lose interest in the other 41 civs if Gurjaras remain OP.

Must have been a Reddit thing. Apart from 1 goofy thread about Wootz Steel, people were fairly reasonable in their assessments of those civs around here. There was also a thread about Urumis being absurd in melee, which is true, but that doesn’t make the civ OP. More common was the underestimation of the Gurjaras, particularly Shrivamshas and the mill bonus.

10 extra. Your point stands, but definitely a long term buff that wasn’t needed.
