• Charged attack from Presidential Lances is now an attack that just adds +2 AoE to what is otherwise a normal attack.
• 25% less Conqs, and Aztecs from the TP-less native alliances. That’ll keep round numbers.
• Smokeless Powder should be nerfed, half the cost for half the effect (not just for Mexico).
• Skirm combat card in age 3 now adds +10%/10%, researches Veteran Salts, and adds the big button stealth ability. (Currently +15%/15% and adds the stealth big button).
• Age 4 Skirm range card now adds +1 range, down from +2.
• Hacienda trickle rate from livestock is 10% lower. Livestock trickle is 10% lower.
• Age 5 Federal Flag card’s improvement to the damage aura is cut in half. I think the base is +10% to current stats, and I’m guessing card makes it +20%, so make it +15% with the card. That’s still huge as a Current-Stats-Upgrade.
None of these would be a big deal in 1v1, in fact the addition of Veteran to skirm combat might be a small buff. This might not be enough to balance them, but it would go a long way while having a limited impact on Sup.
New York Zouaves are a bigger issue imo. I haven’t done much with Texas forts though. The shipment of cannons from New York should only add +15/15% (total of +40/40% from the age up and card). The Zouaves should probably add +100c each time it’s sent.
An age 3 Musketeer Combat card and a second Factory should go a massive way towards fixing Italy’s issues (both in Sup and Treaty).
