The latest update for Age of Empires 2 has received a lot of excitement, but the inclusion of the Gambesons tech for the Persians has left some players feeling underwhelmed.
Despite this, the Persians as a civ have long been considered somewhat bland and uninspired, with few unique traits or standout units.
Some suggestions have been made to improve their representation, such as adding Steppe Lancers, Elephant Archers, or improving their Cavalry Archers.
Others have called for a replacement for their lackluster unique tech, or sharing certain bonuses with other civs.
The hope is that the developers will take steps to make the Persians feel more interesting and representative of their historical roots.
