Changes to old civs

[duckzilla]

Can someone with access to the game give more information on changes to the old civs?

I saw that Dutch saw some changes, e.g. 5 bank limit from the start and the bank boost card increasd to +20%. The French age IV cuir card also does not affect train time anymore. Do you know about further changes like this? Did they do something with Germans after they gave the Swedish all the nice merc opportunities?

It's just EP9. I'm not sure if beta 4 has been implemented yet but I expect it to.

ports have 85f vills lol

Tbh looking through the swedeish cards I think germany will still be the better merc civ. The swede merc gimmick is a few more infinite merc shipment ( 6 infinite mams sounds very fun) and that the shipments also unlock them at the saloon and there doesnt seem to be any upgrades for them so im calling it a meh. Funnily though fusiliers are now french

Its ep9 for the most part but not for sioux and porto if i am not wrong.

Lakota start with 5 vills and can ship 4 in age 1 now. Eco teepees are removed. I guess that’s a nice compromise instead of starting with 6 vills directly and shipping 3.

Can anyone inform on any India changes? Im pretty sure I saw 180hp sepoy and someone mentioned a 700w crate, anything else to look out for? Many thanks!

Ports can have 12 tcs now,nice brooken.

Just checked: 700w 700c, 180hp sepoy. Rest seems unchanged from EP including rajput buffs.

lol i just realised they removed advanced arsenal, that makes it more interesting. Yeah I guess swede is the more sustained merc civ which is actually interesting since its probably the first.

this vid mentions a few other changes. Ports get a card letting them get TP upgrades for free, and railroad in age 2. Spice Trade is reworked. Old Han Reforms is reworked. Grens have grenade launchers.

I wonder who will figure out the new meta first and wipe the floor with everyone for a week or two.

[helln00]

Most of the stuff is EP , besides the grens change, forts(rebuildable forts ftw) and the age 2 railroad thing. Tbh most of them sounds great.

what about pet tigers? and extra tags?

[helln00]

I just realised that the asian civs wont have access to the new grens....kinda sad they would be great to a chinese comp and make french an intersting alternative to the british intervention game

[helln00]

Hmm the russian dueling school is no longer a team card, I dont know how to feel about that tbh

[duckzilla]

Thx for giving further information!

The Russian dueling school card no longer being a team card sounds sad. Many other changes look thought through. Explorer being able to build forts is good.

i don't think it's necessarily broken as that number applies to imperial age and requires sending like 4 cards + building 2 TCs with explorer

Good video, very informative.

[helln00]

I gotta say though the new grens are fantastic, they are still heavy infantry but I think I like this change better than just removing heavy infantry tag tbh

I don't really see the point of the house of Bragança change : Ports were already strong on ATP maps and low tier on standard low to/no to maps.

[Le Hussard sur le toit]

However the spice trade change is great !
