Suggestion for Dutch

Perhaps if that politician not only unlocked halbs, but gave Military Drummers...

That's a really cool idea, btw I edited my earlier response as I wanted to express what I was saying more clearly.

Having early halbs will most definetely make pikemen redundant. The reason why Dutch don't have crossbowmen is because they already have early Skirmishers. To make Halbs available in age 2 they would have to shadowtech like skirms in age III and also pikemen will have to be removed. For me it's a no go.

There is a card that increases halb speed on age 3.
What about moving it to age 2?
I guess there is still the problem of having to send a whole shipment just for that, but if dutch is forced into long colonial fights that could help i guess.

What about giving them crossbows? so they can focus on vill production and age up more quickly. Also why the fuck are age2 skirms a thing??

Well, they should have musketeers in the first place so...
I guess it is a design choice, since they can mine gold faster than usual. Personally I love having early skirms. That is why I main Dutch.

I love how Dutch is simultaneously ridiculously strong but also like playing with a handicap. If you play well, it feels like your civ is OP, and when you don't use the right strategies it feels like you're playing the worst civ in the game. Somehow this appeals to me.
