Atleast with these new civs you have to macro and micro. What's the problem with playing the new civs until they get patched?
disagree a lot
It's basically 4 statements. Which and why do you disagree with?
Influence from TPs is definetely something that should require stagecoach.
Aside from that, it counts as a resource in the graph, just like exports so the graph is a bit inflated given that influence is not of the same use of other traditional resources.
I disagree that swe was more busted, since they kind of had to get to IV to unlock their truly busted potential and torping wasn't free. On the other hand it feels like Africa civs get access to bustedness much earlier (beginning in age 1) which gives their opponents less room to outplay, and less time for the Africa player to make a mistake.
Despite actually having great ecos with influence and cow hax, Africa civs make up the infinite eco gap compared to Old Swe w/just amazing units.
At any rate it doesn't matter but I'd rather play vs swe than dis.
Swe was more retarded because of the seamless huge income they had. It doesn't matter if they were fighting whole game with the wrong unit (musk vs RI) they would make up for it with the eco.
Design was (and it still is) more broken than Africa civs.
You'll see as the cattle gets nerfed that the civs will be meh.

why is it not? isn't it even better than resources when spent
How is it better? You can only use it for special units at discrete intervals just like exports or experience. Such units have to be timed correctly to swing a battle or they have to provide a unique advantage to the army, otherwise villager seconds would be better spent on regular resources for regular units.

Isn't influence worth more villager seconds because it is harder to collect?
