China doesnt have a weak eco lol their units are basically free, 10 china vills with no ups is like 13, 14 upgraded vills from other civs, no joke.

If you ever play china in a treaty game or ffa or whatever with 119 vills summer palace, confucian academy (also technically a factory locked on artillery) the porcelain tower, Russian factory... you will literally never run out of resources no matter how bad you trade vs someone (apart from wood).

China barely needs eco at all in 1v1 supremacy, honestly

Wit a 3 vill card, vill training during age ups, wonders and exports, China eco is very likely one of the best ones.

One thing that came to my mind after watching smackdown yesterday!!
It's how unviable natives for a few reasons but the main one is that you don't even need to scout it since you can see the icon on top of the players names !!
Wouldn't be a good idea to remove the native icon and maybe even the tp icon of the players names?? If is possible of course!!
That way things like natives would be a lot more viable and games would be more interesting!!

I am just a lowly captain, but the nat xp trickle seems a really dangerous change to make (yes i understand its just beta and stuff). Native treaties, is an underrated card to begin with esp. on maps like Iowa (Axeriders/Cheyenne and Huaminca are both decent units and offer some of the best value VS wise from Nat. Treaties).

Essentially, Nat rushing on such maps becomes potentially very powerful, since you can start off with very early pressure due to Nat. Treaties and Nats being trained quite fast in general, while also having the potential for a good followup with more military shipments, 700w for eco or 700c for age, which you wouldn't have otherwise.
Just as an example: if i am thinking about the botto vs callen sioux vs otto match on iowa, nat rushing might actually be better than double jan rushing in that case with this change, since you get one Tp worth of Xp in both cases + a mosque whcih you wont get on 300w start with double rax, + a much better composition that also beats Cetan Warhut due to Lakota. Essentially, you can invest in eco and military at the same time at a relatively low price + get a great value shipment in age 2 and some good techs later in the game (Bisons, dog soldiers, in the very late game inca train speed is pretty useful etc.).

edit: also remember we are talking about an TP map here. The effect is obviously even more pronounced and ridiculous on No-Tp Maps, esp. ones that also don't have water. If Technically possible the best change really would be removing the Nat-TP-Icon Imho.

Imo EP has to be careful not to overnerf Iro. They don't always seem that strong: civs like China, Dutch, France seem to have comparably strong (semi) FFs. Even Spain doesn't seem that bad in an FF war on ATP maps.

The rush honestly also doesn't seem that strong, most civs can hold it fairly well. And Iro with fast age to age2 is kinda stuck there afterwards. Just watch eg Kaiser sometimes lose with age 2 iro vs worse players.

Sure, Iro is fairly flexible, but they have downsides as well: one of the weakest ecos in game (stagecoach is nice ofc, but I've seen countless games of Iro going SC FF and just losing to a late age2 push (eg Dutch or Brits) or an aggressive FF.

Iro units aside from FP aren't actually that amazing, either, especially without WC (even pros lose him fairly often). Sure their units are good with 3 cards, but that goes for all civs (Brit, dutch, France etc). Iro also doesn't get 2 falcs or anything.

Yeah, boyars seem too strong tbh. Russia is a very good civ atm. On no TP, they are one of the top civs, but even on TP maps they are underrated. One small slip up loses you the game vs basic Russian builds.

Same as the official patch: 15% atk, 15% hp.
Basically a standard age 3 combat card in age 2 for 2/3 of Russia's core units. Iro has a comparable card but it's only 10%/10% as Hazza is suggesting.

Honestly I feel it's good to revert the rusket change, ie to make them a bit more expensive again.

Russia just going for a cheese full rusket 5/4/13 is already fairly strong (eg in RE) anyway, no need to boost it. It's a no-skill strat that shouldn't be rewarded.

Later on when Russia gets a good eco, the change doesn't matter much anyway.
