Now when tourney is nearing its end, we can safely say that Russia is one of the weakest civ in current ep iteration.

Ok, then what's stopping map makers to finally fix hunt/mine spawns? Seems to me that it's everyone agreeing on precisely what is the correct amount of randomness. I personally am a fan of having a variety of maps with different amounts of randomness. If you're dissatisfied with the maps that we ha...

Garja is not only map maker, there are others, maybe we should use their maps for tourneys, which are more consistent in terms of hunt/mine spawns.

As i recall map creators can't fix bad hunt spawns. Problem is in game engine itself. Atm, the only way to address this issue is to set all hunts to fixed status on all maps, and we don't want that, don't we. Everyone likes little randomness here and there....... There's really nothing true about t...

Isn't the underlying problem simply that most of the maps in the pool arent made for competitive tournaments? The standards of most of the people here as to when a map is fair and the average map spawn just means you're going to have to be rehosting a lot. Sometimes people look at the 5th or 6th hu...

That's standardization....

One of China's main weak spots is low anti cav potential, especially against heavy cav. Pikes are useless in age 3, Keshisks too weak, while Changdaos are just not enough. Manchu's are very good merc shipment, but one can't always afford them. I think buff to China's anti cav potential is in order....

About spanish gold: Like I said before, it's not an option to spain after their normal opening. Its a shipment that, if it turns out to be viable, just changes how spain is played. The problem with it is that it limits build order space in the sense that if you want this to be part of your build or...

I would passively buff xbows by slightly reducing their price.

Sioux wakina change is pure madness. The unit could already infinite kite strels and maces with just WC aura. Now it has more base speed and there is still a card to buff all infantry unit speed. The card stack on base stats and WC aura also stacks over the final stats. Wakina final speed will be 6...

Rush civs are one dimensional and should be weak.

They lose/struggle in almost every mu? I'd call it too weak....

I think it would have been better if those 10 hp from uhlans went to WW instead. Nobody will use dops in age 3 anyway. Maybe dop buff is aimed towards buffing ger colo agenda.

I think the Spain change is pretty good. They always felt gold heavy cause of skirm, lancer, rod and their eco was always missing a little boost especially with the lack of quartermaster. If your initial push with falcs fails, you will prob lose with or without new card. +400 c with every shipment ...

I also think new Spain card is situational at best. It won't be used often at all.....

So, China didn't receive planned food crate buff? Old Han cost removal is barely a buff in my opinion, because it rarely comes into play in 1v1.

Idk about most controversial India change. We will have to wait and see I guess.

Just houses. For now anyway. Spanish - "Spanish Gold" shipment effect replaced with: "Grants 400 coin with every shipment starting with this one." Availability changed from Industrial to Fortress Age. Interesting, but I can't see its use except in late fortress, where Spain does...

It does, unless you have cm. TC full = 90 HP shots

Then it should be 185hp sepoy along with 60w houses.

If you nerf sepoy's hp to 185, does it still need 3 TC shots?

I get Goodspeed's mindset, as long as sepoy rush is most optimal way of playing India, whatever you do, ppl will continue to do it, until you nerf sepoy a bit. Only then, players will be given incentive to try something else.

I like proposed changes, except removing Old Han cost. I think it's part of China uniqueness to pay for mentioned card. Maybe reducing price in correspondence with nerf is better solution. For example, reducing nerf to 25 percent and setting its price to 750f.

In a country with 350 million pop, there has to be few psychos here and there. Its a rule of probability..... 1. That doesn't mean society has to actively arm them. 2. Says the Serbian. 3. Says the Swede. Then change gun laws in certain states, simple as that. Idk what you meant by Swede and Serbia...
