Why do Saracens have counter-weights?

Ofc I want that. An UU and the Imp UT both should be very flavourful and strong.

A civ that is just strong isnt defined. It can even be a random mix of bonuses and nonsense…

Well, then make a mod. For ladder, we want balanced civs.

And there can be only one balanced civ right…

Well one civ in isolation can never be balanced; balance always refers to the overall state of the game and most importantly, other civs. Right now, saracens are in a good spot (maybe a bit too strong on certain settings, if anything). Buffing one civ because you want to without regard to overall balance will just worsen the experience of other players.

One civ in isolation is pretty balanced. Mirror matches are always at 50% winrate

And changing the design of Saracens can also be done in a balanced way. If we fear balance so much would have kept madrasha cause every change is so explosive?? Explosiveness also indicates a bad design with little room for small adjustments

Yes, I agree. That is, if the people here will stop worrying about balance and try something else. If there will be a balance issue, the patch will be issued in no time to address it.
