I have considered this option, but ultimately decided against it for several reasons:
- would be much more work for me
- messing around with changes of this magnitude on the day of Diplo tournament finals and ESOC Spring tourney start seems unwise, to say the least (what if it causes a bug, what if ppl want to prepare for real tourn etc.)
- every gameplay-changing patch currently forever increases the EP download size in order to allow for rec compatibility tool to do its job, so I'd have to decide whether a joke update is worth this or work around it

For reasons above I've decided to not implement the changes for real and instead release them only as patch notes together with a real bug-fixing update to increase their credibility :flowers:

I definitely wouldn't rule out real changes for the next April though :chinese:
There's tons of things we could do; gameplay changes, map changes, UI changes.. we'll see!

I think lb need to be buffed due to musk being chosen over them. I think the yeomen card should give an additional +200 range so that they can camp and snipe across the map. Also stret should be given spoons to fit their melee attack. (Giant axes were a bit misleading).

I tried this in scenario editor, and it didnt work properly. Longbows have a hidden accuracy stat and miss 90% of the time when at 50 range or more.

I wonder about increasing Longbowman range by two.

Apparently Ensemble didn't think much of French women. Made them look exactly like the men.
