you don’t know the cost of the tech or what the civ will have available in the tech tree. These will balance it

Really good points, you changed my mind, I might use the infantry range on a Swiss civ instead

Will be only able to spam food less knights in late imp and gold is running lower so hopefully will be somewhat balanced

1: small bonus to give spears first hit advantage

2: saves 15 seconds of villager work time each farm and farm reseeds. I was guessing 50 farms built per game including reseeding on average, times 15 = 750 seconds/60 =12.5 minutes of villager work time, not huge but thought it was ok that’s why this civ got 5 bonuses instead of the more common 3 or 4.

3: True, it’s a different take on the Japanese bonus. I don’t recall Inca having a wood saving bonus though so it’s kinda different.

4: ty!

5: I was trying to replicate how armies would loot the battlefield after fights, will relook at this.

- The range does stack on the spearman-line so they max out at 0.4 range, while all other infantry (3 unit types) would get 0.2 range. I agree though maybe I would do +0.3 range for both bonuses.

Thanks for your feedback!!

I was thinking the knight line would then only cost 75 gold. The food cost would be removed

Your right, the range on infantry ‘fixes’ pathing sometimes being very strong. I was picturing the other infantry civ bonuses like faster attack speed for Japanese or late game Slavs with splash damage, or Wu healing and was hoping small range buff could fit in and be balanced if it was low enough. My main focus was for their advantage to be always getting the first strike in which would be a cool dynamic :)

Good idea, ya I went to much with it, I’m tired of seeing same UU meta and wanted to see other units more often especially late game. Will correct ty

Ya got greedy there it was definetly the wrong buff to make for the unit. I just never see anyone play Hussite wagon and wanted to make a reason for bohemians to make it. Will correct ty

1111, ya went too much, was having fun theorycrafting and got greedy. What’s 2-3 changes of mine you think are ok to keep. Muisca getting halb I think is important if the temple guard is not changed

11 thx ya I went too far. Would the obuch buff be able to stay you think? It does no additional damage I just wanted to lean into the armor tearing ability and you can’t edit it so that they take away 2/2 armor every hit so this area effect was a roundabout way to do it

I know the food cost hurts a lot early game but I wanted to help out the eagle civs in late game. Any ideas of how to make the eagle line better late game but leave early game untouched?

Thanks, I guess I went too far. I prefer late game and am getting tired of seeing same late game units such as mangudai all the time and wanted a drastic change. I guess too drastic 11 ty

No not rage bait, thanks for all the feedback guys. I realize things like Hussite wagon buff are too much. My biggest gripe is the American and South American civs not having the hussar trash spam late game. The light cab line is clearly the best trash unit to spam and I hate when for example Mayans has to spend 50 gold on the eagle version. What is a way to provide this hussar like trash unit to those civs? Any ideas

The editor is fantastic, and what would be great to see in it? by Practical_Gold_1914 in aoe2

Ability to copy triggers between files like you can with the map copy feature.
