Have you considered that you are getting an age 4 unit in age 3? You would pay a premium for getting heavy cannons in age 3 too.
Yeah and u have 2 more mamelukes in IV in addition to being infinite at a lower price than in III age. hmmmm :hmm: :hmm:
You can't consider the cost by the absolute value like that really. You have (~1600 + 900)/6 = 417 gold per mam for the age four. You pay (~1000 + 1000)/4 = 500 gold per mam for the age 3 shipment. Paying an extra 83 gold seems reasonable for the privilege of having an age 4 unit in age 3. Seem pretty balanced to me. Maybe the age 4 shipment should cost another 100 gold.

The card is still limited by the amount of XP you can generate and its not like the only card you will send in age 4. XP is kind of a shadow limit on how much cards you can send in particular time.
Fine line to something great is a strange change.

Really? How much xp does each card cost? How does this limit your unit composition? Idk exactly and I'm not here to defend the current cost of the age 4 shipment, but to point out that the current 4 mams for 1000 gold in age 3 seems reasonable and balanced.

If 4 Mameluke Shipment is too weak, maybe it could be changed to 5 Mams for 1250G.

They added Sweden as a Merc civ with upgrades etc on them, so it's reasonable that they have such unique shipment in age4, imo.

the swedes basically have nearly every mercs as a potential choice right?

I guess if we stretch it a bit, mamlukes for swedes is a ref to that time Charles the 12th basically took a long vacation outside of Constantinople to get otto to fight russia

if we go by history, then I want the french to get mamlukes first before we get rid of swedes

4mams is fine, both in sheer value and in practical use. Otto now also have better Spahi and Ports barely need the shipment anymore.

4 mamelukes = 1600 Coin

You pay 1000, the shipment value is low or the unit should cost 450-500 coin.

5 ronin: Yeah baby.

5 mamelukes: oh no, iam a cryer, they tank so much, buah buah nerf nerf.
Atleast the 4 mam shipment should cost 800 coin tbh. The price wasn't reduced accordingly...
