I predicted that they would target the Hindustani Vil discount and Pole farms. If Hindu loses their crossbow, they will be vulnerable to Infantry until they reach the Imperial Age, where they become a strong counter to gunpowder. However, they still have their cavalry archers and fully upgraded light cavalry. As for the Poles, they should lose their Blast Furnace upgrade, which diminishes the power of their knight/cavalry spam, making it more of a late Castle/early Imperial Age strategy. Late game, their Winged Hussars, supported by Folworks, can be a powerful force.
Folwark needed a nerf, there was no way around it.
Making Hindustanis the only civ without xbow AND knights…I don’t know about that either.
Hindu felt so powerful so I’ll hardly notice the nerf in TG’s
And Poles Cav spam is so easy to counter def needed to lessen that food boost though, to reduce overall troop production
Def ruined the game for me on console right now games running at like 5 FPS lol
😂
Wish they’d fix the lagging update
Despite the overdramatic title of OP’s post, I actually do find his suggested nerfs more interesting. Not saying they would *work* in this exact case, but, generally speaking, taking away a tech *is* more interesting than lowering a percentage.
I’m for one are happy with the balance changes they made and I have the feeling a lot of people are. Porto could have been adressed as well, but at least Hindustani were.
My main issue with this patch is that they worked on balance over fixing stability and performance, which currently for me are the most annoying issues (and unless I missed something, they haven’t even adressed the organs-spawn-over-walls bug).
I am more peeved at the Bohemian nerfs.
Houfnice damage has been reduced and the update is made very high.
Hindustani nerf was 100% warranted. The vill discount was, a top 3 eco bonus in the game. (I’d say free wheelbarrow/handcart and receiving gold while mining stone are the other two)
Hindustanis already have insane counter options and power units. They cannot also have one of the best ecos in the game. This change brings them more in line with a civ like incas, who also have multiple power gold units but lack a strong eco bonus.
To be quite frank, I would be on board with removing the vill discount entirely. But we’ll see how the nerf plays out.
Or wait to see what these nerfs do to win rates
Poles not having blast furnace or final armor would make their cav absolutely comically bad.
