I want to appreciate the effort the devs did with testing those changes.
I don’t see many people talking about it but in previous years after every patch there were some serious bugs. Quite often even game-breaking. And usually discovered in the first few hours after release.
Now you are releasing patches more seldom which I don’t like personally because I love new content but I appreciate much bigger quality last patches seems to have
I mean, I hope that some new aboriginal features added to the unknown map can be actually installed into the common war map, and then they can be played on other maps that are not unknown maps
Similar to taking the unknown map as a test point for new ideas, it will be expanded and applied to other standard maps after being praised by players
For example, the previously interesting transformation of the initial base and the unlocking of three historical battle map technologies for players can be used as a new game mode, as a new game mode after the Empire War and the tycoon mode
I don’t see an issue with buffing 10% attack and HP to sepoy in industrial with a card since now cavalry damage has been halved. Sepoy are strong early game or were strong, late game it’s gurkha that you see far more of.
For treaty it’s annoying I guess but for supremacy at least now we have an extra card to use because the games that you reach imperial are next to none.
No more cards for India, in team games you are forced to insert them because they change the basic statistics and insert them in the new cards and you are forced to use them to have the same statistics as before, and no more weakened India in 2 ages to recover everything in 4 ages
Finally India and Brits received some nerfs, Lakota is still super OP, especially in team games.
Why did Ottos get Jan HP buff? They already were strong.
Spain could use some more love as well.
At least with Spain now we can use Reconquista card.
I would like a small buff to the rods, and they should turn them into archaic inf.
They could also add a shooting attack for pikes like insurgents to an existing card.
Coupled with the new card that improves armor (+ the new range they get + the need for anticav because of the new cav buff) the tercios could be really viable and historically accurate as formidable pikemen and the use of arquebuses.
Lastly, I would like the explorer card to increase the dog limit from 5 to 8.
Spain could become a truly aggressive civ at age 2 with the optional use of logista, leaning heavily on the Reconquista card with extensive use of archaic inf.
Historically due to the time frame, it should be a powerful civ in early ages, with a majority use of thirds made up of pikes, arquebuses and rods. And dogs and conquerors vs aztecs for ex is a striking theme!
This way we further enhance its unique aspects with historical precision, we improve rarely used units, we give versatility to a civ eternally clinging to its ff (except slips of broken strats as a logistician in its day, FI piks / bows free upgrade, turtle haciendas soldiers… ) and we have more options for aggressive European civs in age II (which are missing with the current meta…).
With the new pike card spanish pikes are better than maltese now so might be worth actually using. Their cards also buff rodoleros which are also a key unit for the spanish.
I’d like them to buff incas dogs before they further buff spanish though, peruvian dogs are useless on top of requiring 2 cards.
but the wc inca can train many more dogs and the damage of the wc inca can be more than 80 per hit, it can have more than 6 speed, it has an aura, a bonus against cavalry, it can train chasquis, which can receive shipments and He also has two special attacks.
