It kind of showed how harmful the 3vil card is for diversity. I actually think that Hausa was more fun without it because I had more options: 15% gather rate, 2v+ sanga cattle, infinite market+ cattle.
Now it will be on autopilot and I will always use the 3v cards. They’re stronger but they “lock up” the Exploration Age, consequently, they handicap “roads” for other strategies throughout all the following ages
If we do the same MO with all civs why even have it? That’s why USA is so fun: you can do many builds, M.O and strategies with their AGE1 cards that unlock viability to all politicians, cards and strategies.
