Why Indians are so weird in this game?

this is flat false. accuracy is 65% at its worst. yeah its worse at 5 range then it is at 3 range, but the worst it will ever be is 65%.

I’ve already answered that earlier. ship sails aren’t civ specific. they are region specific. its also an incredibly small feature and their are more pressing issues then aesthetics.

arambai are literally the go to strategy for Burmese. what did you expect them to use champions as the core of their army?
Champions are slow and anti trash units. they don’t do well vs Arbs or Knight line units.

Burmese are an infantry civilization. Arambai are useless unless you can mass them in large quantity.

106

India is a region different from Middle East.

You are quoting only half of my comment of best Elephants. Read further.

107

Where did you read such non-sense? They are the only civilization among the Americans that actually used Bows and Arrows.

108

no, your claim their accuracy is worse is flat false. Accuracy for the HC is at its worst 65%.

doesn’t matter, the fact is that this is such a SMALL ISSUE and there is far more pressing matters to be fixed in the game. like civs who aren’t that good, or who are too good in some cases getting balanced.
bugs getting fixed, etc.
i’ve already commented on ships sails repeatedly.

If it is a small issue leave this question, stop spreading your lies.

You and @JonOli12 are the sole hate speakers here. Continuously spreading lie one after other.

Tell me are you paid by the game devs to speak against everything?

No you didn’t, you only quote half of my comment.

111

and yet those who used the bow and arrow were considered inferior soldiers by those who did not use htem.

i’m not lieing. are aesthetics more important then fixing bugs? or balance of the game?

really? you can see right here i responded to your entire quote about ship sails. the very post after your post on the subject as a matter of a fact.

why? because i want the game balanced? i’ve already said multiple times i don’t care if Indians get Elephants so long as they remain balanced afterwords. but hey, keep putting words on my mouth.

It is thought that enemies would project missiles at long range, then as they advanced on each other, discipline probably declined, allowing individuals to attempt to personal feats of bravery

so clearly emphasis is put on personal feats. ergo melee combat.

which false statements? mayans preferring melee combat? see above. with a source. what false statement have i made? that aesthetics are less important then balance and bug fixing?
go ask players what they care more about. a balance bug free game or aesthetics?

What is a pocket?

Indians can be much easier countered with Infantry than Cavalry. Why do you want to counter by Battle Elephants? It is very costly.

118

But they are the only American Civ among all three that used Bows. That’s what I said. Don’t spread lie.

umm all 3 Native American Civs use the archer line a lot in game.
but my point was that in real life, the real civilization? they looked down on archers.
you’re super keyed in on making Indians historically accurate, but you literally ignore all the other civs who aren’t accurate at all.
Chinese with no gunpowder units despite literally inventing gunpowder.
Mayans who focus on using Archers despite their Elite troops being Melee oriented and not archers.
Goths being full on Melee flood despite that not being the truth.
Koreans being a civ that seems based on towers, do you think that was historically accurate?

so no, i’m not lieing at all. if accuracy matters to you so much, how come you only care about the accuracy of 1 civ?

Will that actually happen though? Since they already said there would be no more Civs in one othe interviews.
And if one civilization is already named Indians, what will you call the other one?

it is a common topic of discussion on the forums to add more civilizations to the game, and what those civs should be and would look likee.

there is plenty of options, the Tamils as an example, or the Bengalis as another.

Atleast the Mayans get the Infantry Line. Boths spears and swords + eagles with civilization bonus. Indians don’t even get Battle Elephants.
Why are you diverting topic to Mayans to proove your propaganda? Nothing else left.

Already said, if this topic doesn’t matter to you stop replying rather than speaking lies again and again.

Tamils and Bengalis are also Indians.

Can you have a German or French civilization when you have Europeans?

That just looks like day dreaming. New civs will never be added. Be realistic rather than making false promises only to stop this demand.

but the point is their mainstay is archers, despite in real life being something different. and i mean if you want to use that as an argument, well guess what?

the indians do have an elephant unique unit. if Infantry is enough to “adequately represent the Mayans” for you then Indians having a elephant should be good enough right? by your own logic?

i’m not. i’m merely pointing out that for a guy who is SUPER KEYED INTO ACCURACY you only seem to care about the Accuracy of ONE CIV.

show me where i lied. please do.

i don’t think most people would honestly care, we literally have a bunch of civs from everywhere as is.

i didn’t make promises. i merely said that it was a common topic of discussion.

again if i have lied show me where.

Indian mainstay is camels in game. But what’s wrong in giving options for Battle Elephants?

Which other American Civ could have been archer tell me? Neither Aztec nor Inca fit it.
