Should Hidalgo be nerfed?

Post by fei123456 »

Spain/Portugal can use Hidalgo to revolt, which can give you 10 outlaw riders and 10 outlaw pistols. This is actually 10 times stronger than 10 imperial hussars!

Imperial hussars are good, but can still be countered by mass dragoon. And if you don't have a few hussar left before you revolt, only 10 hussars won't do much.
Outlaw pistols and riders are not those you trained from saloon; they are treasure guardians. It means that each pistol have 40 attack, 270 HP, 7 speed, and won't be countered by cannon/skirm/lancer: highlander are not as scary as them. Abus guns are trash compared to outlaw gunners.
And outlaw riders won't die to skirm too, and can tank tons of damage.
That means you can do nothing to counter the revolt army: goons, skirm, cannon... nothing will work. Mass veteran musketeer may help a bit, but who will train them in age 3 if you don't know he's going to revolt?

Generally, 3 outlaw rider + 4 outlaw pistol/regenado = a 480 xp huge treasure. 6 renegado = 100% explorer HP.
So 10 rider + 10 pistol = what?

If you want to revolt as port you'd rather get the imp native tech and train some natives beforehand.
If you have to revolt as Spain without having any hussars left you might have just stayed III and played the game from there.

20 treasure guardians as revolt bonus doesn’t really sound that scary tbh.
But at least I learned something new about the game again!

They aren’t as strong as imperial hussar. Not even close. Imperial hussars upgrades all your other hussars and they remain trainable. Also they are just way more useful units than the junk colonial age guardians
