Indians Discussion Thread

[iNcog]

As a result of Cuckoo's oddly-timed and relentless propaganda, I am continuing to look into the state of Indians, post-EP8.1, where the civilization has now seen the following significant changes, from EP7(.1):

– The Rajput gets +30% attack from "Dravidian Martial Arts" instead of +15%.
– The Sowar does +1/3 damage to Skirmishers etc (incidentally resulting in the unit having to reach its target a lot less, which is its alleged core problem).
– The Mahout Lancer does +75% damage to heavy infantry and -12.5% damage to Skirmishers etc (testing a popularly voted for, slight redesign of the unit, that should help in some notoriously tough match-ups, E.G against Chinese, Japanese and Ottomans).
– The Zamburak's ranged resistance is increased from 20% to 30%.
– The Siege Elephant is cheaper and has greater line of sight.

Although I'm hesitant to buff the civilization even more, without reasonable testing (it's been less than ten days since the release of EP8.1), discussion and feedback are essential to decisions on future updates.

Thank you all for your input and patience!
