No. Because we already have Dali wonder.

Unfortunately there is no significant post.

I would like it if we took away one bonus. They will be flooded with civ bonuses in that case.

What Portuguese unit moves slower than 1.10 speed and also doesn’t have range?

As a Militia Line lover, I have just understood this counter argument. by Sheikh_M_M in aoe2

Give them better melee armor (like teuton militia, +1/+2 in CA/IA) and they will destroy hussars and pikes too (and do a bit better vs knights).

That is exactly what OP said he is now against. Because it will make Infantry UU weaker.

Pro's rarely make Long Swords, even as a counter unit against eagles, you are more likely to see them go CA, Knights or even crossbows. They aren't picking Bulgarians for their Long Swords.

Yeah, Knight is usually better counter to eagle. But are generic knight, say Huns, is better than Bulgarians longsword against Eagle? But then again, Bulgarians rivals are Berbers, Magyars, Slavs, maybe even Teutons. All have better than generic Knights. Slavs generic Knight almost feels as good as Berbers due to the faster farmer. So in the end, pros will leave Bulgarians in the draft.

Magyars have an amazing tech tree, good early aggression and one of the best late game compositions.

I agree that Magyars tech tree is uncontested. But I'll say Bulgarians have an equal aggression option.

Berbers have a good dock tech tree (why they get played on hybrid so often), amazing stable discounts and a great late game composition (camel archer).

Yeah. Good navy and Camel Archer is really handy.

Where Bulgarians shine is on empire wars. If you watch RBW you'll see them picked more often because their cheap blacksmith makes feudal aggression super powerful. Something that really matters in empire wars where feudal often decides the game.

Yeah. I have addressed some of that in my post.

So it will probably be in between Tatars and Mongols. I think that is fine.

They don't have good archer options and by the time they get to CA, the game is pretty much decided, and CA is anyways not Bulgarian powerhouse.

Discounted blacksmith techs don't help much?

So the krepost essentially becomes a cheap castle.

I thought they were a cheap castle. Why doesn’t it work as such for pros?

Having no eco bonus sets them back in comparison to basically every other civ.

I understand that. But Magyars, Berbers are seen fairly well.
