What if native posts auto-trained their units?

Post by quentinquigley »

Just a random thought I had. As we all know, native units aren't used very much in competitive games. What if upon building a native TP, it autotrained the unit available there, similar to the Ottoman settler mechanic, up to the build limit? Could even allow it to still be trainable the usual way, but it is supplemented by the free, one-by-one training.

Would this be a big enough value proposition that native posts become viable?

If they are not used there is a reason from those players who do not want to use them, either they ignore them or in the open, or they ignore them because they have no effective technologies for that civilization or they do not need native units, or they do not know the units native because it has not studied them and therefore does not know if it is investing it solves wisely or is just throwing it away. Putting this mechanic you claim would be almost useless. Now natives also give xp per second so better than that there is just giving a monster truck unit to make natives the most used option.

Auto Building Nats with auto macro buttons, now with Auto Training units which maybe auto scouted the map and auto microd, and occasionally auto set up traps and ofc were automatically active on the map. Could just automatically play without having to play!

They will keep buffing nats until they are OP enough for people to use, I think.

The zero pop cost and train limit is the main problem of native builds. Native unit has an awkward train limit, and even if you have 2-3 native TPs you still need barrack/stable, which is a huge investment. But if native units don't have limit, they'll become too overpowered in late game/treaty.

One solution is Hausa akan musketeer: giving every civ a tech in native embassy, to remove the train limit of native units, but they cost population from now on.

The Euro houses are still natives to Europe, and we see them get used nearly every game in KOTOW :mrgreen:
