One is a slow, low dps tank and the other is a fast cav specialized at dealing damage against ranged infantry. They are already specialized units that are pretty different. I'm pretty sure the entire reason for the change is that the mahout is a 'lancer' so it needs to be similar to the spanish lancer or something. At this point I'm assuming that's what this entire patch process is like.
Also good luck raiding with a mahout. Also one is a colonial unit and the other is used in fortress like huss/cuirs.
ESOC : came for the game, stayed for the drama.

Arguably. Both camel units are buffed, significantly, and the Mahout Lancer is buffed, situationally. I was considering starting at 2.0 and 1.6 infantry multipliers, for the Sowar and Mahout Lancer, respectively, but that seems risky, in this current climate. I'll be tweaking the changes based on results, though.

Potential concerns:

1) native xp trickle could be too high
2) no revert of the TP/TC radius obstruction
3) 2 WH age up might over-buff the aztec FI? Or even general contain.

I'm glad ATP is getting nerfed. I hope ESOC maps feature 3-max TPs. I'm dissapointed new ESOC maps feature 4+ TPs.
1. Although that's entirely possible, it seems unlikely that it would go from fine to overpowered with these changes. Ideally the change will have the desired effect, then be tweaked according to balance and feedback.
2. I'm not going to revert a widely popular change with good potential. An ATP nerf was an overwhelmingly popular second choice, though, so I opted for it, since it makes sense in the context of this update.
3. I'd be a lot more worried about the Puma Spearman buff, personally. Still, will keep keep a close eye on results.

Maybe we can just remove Sioux from the game. Seems like a more elegant solution at this point..

In all seriousness though, I liked the last version much more than this one. I hope it gets fixed and the start menu gets back to what it was. Or at least give the option to disable the new one. That seems reasonable.

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

"Advanced Trading Post shipment decreased to -40% Trading Post cost, +30% Trading post hitpoints and Trading Post attack-action enabled (from -40% Trading Post cost, +50% Trading post hitpoints and Trading Post attack-action enabled)"
Makes me want to go back to vanilla aoe3, I really hope this is an elaborate prank.

It takes the fun out of the game, that is not a good change. Makes the card much less useful.
