Yeah, pretty good idea, except that frank apologists will tell you otherwise.
Franks would be in every match from 600 to 1600 with a 55% winrate, and they will tell you they are balanced while asking even more nerfing to their counterpicks and competitors.
Meanwhile, Incas are pretty mediocre overall and excel at nothing right now.
Alternatively, reduce the frank free farming updates to 50% cost/research time, and give the other half to Incas.
I actually like this.
It is a simple nerf for a civ that has consistently been on too, without changing the feel or the play style of the civ.
I don’t think it will be enough to bring players back to Inca, but it will be a step in the right direction
They destroyed Incas when they nerfed the villager rush.
Now it’s a mediocre civ with so many options but bad economy to do them.
Nah, nerf Sicilians.
That would ruin franks.
Ik they are strong but that change makes them less interesting
I personally think we need to nerf the Sicilians.
Franks may be a bit to strong but nerfing them to the ground is not the answer
I say the newbie civ shouldn’t be so direct and powerful in most elos.
It discourages players from exploring.
More than that, I dislike the fact that the civ designed for new players is a crutch civ that plays itself, with limited options.
Something like the Saracens or Italians should be the newbie civ, honestly.
Franks are actually a well balanced Civ, at high elos there run of the mill.
The only Nerf I’d potentially give them is have them start with -50stone as a compensation for their dirt cheap castles.
Incas just need a new UT and move skirms min range bonus to a Civ bonus.
Couriers tech of Infantry +10% speed would be good
Just get rid of cheap castles for Franks
Incas were known for building vast roads and tunnels across their empire, and their precision stone masonry surely their team bonus can be trade related or building related..
trying to think of a bonus that doesn’t clash with existing bonus’s
I’m surprised to find a few people agreeing with this absolutely crazy idea.
Not because Incas don’t need a buff or Franks don’t need a nerf, but these people are not realising how MASSIVE of a bonus free farming upgrades is.
Taking it away from one civ and giving it to another is completely crumbing down one civ and buffing another to the skies, with the big meta shake that would affect every single civ in consequence.
No, this is just a bad idea no matter how you see it.
