Re: Chinese Discussion Thread
I think most people here are against changning china. Therefore i actually also don't understand why Sir Hazza would define it a "meme civ". The only change i would be really curious to see is enabling the german consulate trickles in the colonial age. Perhaps that would open up a possibility for long term colonial play/GFA build. To be frank though at this stage it isn't very clear to me whether EP wants to spice the game up or just balance it. It feels like a mix of both.

Ye, let's admit it is totally arbitrary and "project head" decides.
China could reasonably be reworked much more than Sioux as there is more room for just tweaking numbers with a great effect on civ design.

Don't understand you here.

While the project lead does decide in the end, it is anything but arbitrary. Goodspeed takes many things into account, and feedback is vital to him.Garja wrote:gamevideo113 wrote: To be frank though at this stage it isn't very clear to me whether EP wants to spice the game up or just balance it.

Well, that's more about consistency than balance. From balance standpoint territorial army is just fine.

Re: Chinese Discussion Thread
The nerfs china got are pretty much minor ones (probably also a bit deserved), so i don't think it is in a bad spot. Considering it wasn't an OP civ in the first place though it is kinda awkward to just nerf the civ without any compensation, which gives grounds for a possible change.
What about buffing the asian-ATP? Just throwing ideas in.

Buffing Changdao cost from 95f to 85f and Territorial army train-points from 33 to 29 makes good sense to me, resulting in a ratio of 17.59.
Please use at least villager seconds instead of resources
Re: Chinese Discussion Thread
What's with the shit multiplier for Changdao vs. cav? They even have less damage vs. cav than the age 2 pikes, also less siege while costing far more.. Having 10% extra melee resist and 15hp more isn't that impactful when they're main purpose is to dps down the opponent's cav. Feels like a joke unit right now. Compare them to halbs for example, while not being the best unit overall at least serves as a descent anti-cav.

Re: Chinese Discussion Thread
Changdaos cost only 95f, that's cheaper than a pike actually. Comparing colo stats, they have the same hp, 10% more melee resist, and twice the attack. So yeah they deal a bit less damage to cav than pikes (15*2.3 means around 34 damage to cav, while a pike does 40), but like I said they deal twice the damage to every other unit, which easily makes up for that. They're better than pikes, and they're also better than halbs.

Re: Chinese Discussion Thread
Changdaos are funny units because of that high attack. Generally you're better off just headbutting them in there than trying to perfectly chase cav.

Buffing Changdao cost from 95f to 85f and Territorial army train-points from 33 to 29 makes good sense to me, resulting in a ratio of 17.59.
The train time of each banner army is the sum of the train time of the single units weighted for the pop ratio in a batch of 5.
E.g.
territorial army =(( 27pt+27pt)/2) *6/5 = 32.4pt. Or 27pt*3/5 + 27pt*3/5 = 32.4pt
So it should train in about 32 seconds (33 currently).
Colonial banner armies have somewhat a discount factor, perhaps because old han units are seen as less than 1 pop each (0.8 for example).
The reason why train time for trained banner armies doesn't work on unit cost is because that would double the advantage of having cost efficient units, especially in the case of changdao and arqbusier, whose cost is by far less than their comparative weakness to their european counterparts.
The counterprove of this is the fact that fortress banner armies all have different cost to train ratios, while they are consistent in pop to train time ratio.

Re: Chinese Discussion Thread
Archaic units train faster for every civ afaik. And ye, the train time is pop related. Which is why the cav train time nerf is so big.
Re: Chinese Discussion Thread
Cav train time at 29seconds (on RE) assumed both chinese cav units trained in 35 seconds rather than 40 (the train time for units like ulhan rather than hussar). The protofile says 40 seconds tho. 40*4/5=32 (currently 33 on EP).

You have to take batch mechanic into account imo. Which is why the train times are slightly better. Since you cant queue one, gather the res, and then finish the batch.
Re: Chinese Discussion Thread
Ye that's also what I was thinking. The more expensive the batch, the better train time is given because it's hard to fit with the overall macro.

Re: Chinese Discussion Thread
why Summer palace has to wait till you have population space to produce the next batch of banner army?
And not just lose the batch if u dont hv population like otto free vill prodution , heavy cannon from factory etc that might help a bit making the "death ball" looks less scary.

Losing an entire banner army due to, let's say, a village just going down sounds like quite poor design to me. If anything we should make factories/otto TCs wait for pop space instead of occasionally deleting units. But I'm not sure whether this is actually possible to fix. @EAGLEMUT

Normally u lose otto vills production cause of macro mistake or losing the house by an attack, so basically you get punished but the china ff is good strategy and u can get a lot army with china with shipments and consulate etc so get punished cause u had delayed 1 village building or cause u didn't have army to defend the early attacks and lost village(s) sounds reasonable to me, and let's say, relying on a batch of 4 to 5 units that u get every ~3 to 4 min to build your army seems dumb, so i don't think this nerf is too much.
This just help you be more careful with what you sacrifice : villages, settlers or army
Re: Chinese Discussion Thread
Don't listen to silly Tabben. He'll say anything not to nerf Chinese!
