-50w -50f for building banks seems a little too much, but i might be wrong since i dont play then.

+1 wood crate buff for ports seems too little, they need more stuff.

Your ottos changes will make then a ff-only civ...and the changes didnt make their op ff any weaker.

Sioux BR just need penalty vs villagers it should be enough for now.

You're totally changing the meta, we're in a musk meta, with your changes it would be a bow meta and you're also changing the meta of the civs.
Spain is going to be a colo civ. Etc

But tbh, your changes aren't as bad as I expected :p.

He is indeed changing the meta though the modifications seems quite fine to me.
Only thing that bothers me is the brits that got downgraded severely ecen if they are not a top tier civ!

So many (unneccesary) changes that make the civs less unique and fun to play with.

I think making halberdiers bit faster is a good idea, atm pikes have higher speed.

I know they are good but I don't consider them as OP as iro or otto as I feel like they already struggle against german on tp map for example.

I dont agree with some changes , but some ideas are good and already were part of prevous FP .

[span style="font-size:12pt'"]I never understand why Yumi archer has a 1.5 x bonus v Inf and xbows havent or Lb , Yumi has more HP , atack and bonus atack , 100 hp ,19 atack , 18 range x1.5 bonus inf wich makes [/span]
[span style="font-size:12pt'"]always said that warchiefs and tad new civs broke the game , i woud prefer tad with out them.[/span]

[span style="font-size:12pt'"]Yumi a very counter V muskets and costs less compared lb. Its why in brits mirror its Musket v musket and not Lb v muskets because lb<'musket but yumi>' musket . Lets say i cant beat a jap has brits with only muskets but Yumi can beat a Brit pure musk.[/span]


[span style="font-size:12pt'"]And Diarouga says : Muskets meta , , ok i understand but no civ exceptions because YUMI is breaking u musket META !!![/span]![span style="font-size:12pt'"]!, then u have to fix Yumi to a 1,3 bonus and also decrease chu ku nu bonus v inf. THIS CLEAR FOR ANY FP MAKER . I undertand xbows should be a pike counter and not a musket counter , but Yumi should not be a musket counter neither!!![/span]

[span style="font-size:12pt'"]I propose for FAIR META TO GIVE A 1.3 BONUS TO ALL ARCHER ' XBOW CLASS NO civ EXEPTION[/span]


[span style="font-size:12pt'"]Maybe a 1.4 bonus for archers and xbow units agaisnt inf could be tested ,1.5 is too high . 1.4 could be good , it allows xbow to be use more while respect muskets meta. Of course u can say french and german would get the most of it , but u can nerf them a bit somewhere.[/span]

[span style="font-size:12pt'"]HALBERDIERS : not used in the game , when u see that pikes have 5 speed its totally fair that halbs should have 4.5 . HAs it is 4 , makes them not usable in the game. Of course the most help civ would be dutch , but they are underpower anyway .[/span]


[span style="font-size:12pt'"]COyote runner _>' change speed from 6,25 to 6 , atack 17 from(18)[/span]

I really like the idea of halberdiers with 4.5 speed, they are almost unused right now unlike similar units like changdao.

It's not in my interest to comment on the entire list extensively, but I will say that I disapprove of a Halberdier speed increase. In my mind the unit is clearly supposed to be slow by design. I would rather increase stats slightly after making the unit (along with all others) Colonial Age stats based:

?? Halberdier hitpoints increased from ~166.67 to 175. Damage increased from ~20.83 to 21 (Russian Halberdiers adjusted accordingly).

Changdao are something in between a Pikeman and a Halberdier though, with significantly worse stats than the latter and worse effectiveness against cavalry than the former.

People are merely expressing their opinions on select balance issues. I don't see the problem.

+1,
The only thing I agree with is giving Halbs more speed, might actually make them a somewhat usable unit.


I don''t think all the civs should be changed... Civs that overpowered and underpowered should be changed to make them usable and fair. Too many changes will just dull everything down and make civs less unique like what Ede said.

I rather you get rid of the warchief aura completely, buff up warchief stats a little, than to get rid of the wood crate. Hell just make all travois age 1 travois, so they can''t make a forward warhut. Suddenly you have about 30-60 more seconds to get units out, should be slightly slower getting infantry out than Russia.
