Poor Caçadores, they didn´t deserved that

Caçadores didn't get nerfed, they actually got boosted: Extra HP and faster Rate of Fire in exchange of Damage and 10% ranged resistance.

With the patch they'll be more resistant in combat, still have more ranged resistance and speed than Skirmishers, and deal less overkills.

A nice boost overall.

Thanks for correcting me (I wasnt sure about how train points work) And personally I hoped they make Siege Eles and Mahouts cost food/coin instead of wood.

you STILL don't boost ports

Question: Caçador boost and Dragoon Combat card change doesn't count?

hardly counts. it's their early game that needs a boost not their late game.

and the cassa "boost" isn't even a real boost, just a change. they shouldve just boosted their HP to 100, not touching their armor, attack, and ROF. now they're just closer to being a skirmisher.
 

Explain then why the portos are used across the board for aging speed records.  If you play them well you can FF while the other guy is putting an army together, and canon pwn him.

My only other point would be that the forest prowlers need a nerfing. 

Goodspeed plays ports a lot. He knows what he's talking about.

LOL, this is maybe the biggest thread that I have seen in my life XD

Well... the cassadores got more HP, that's good, isn't it??

Japs are now a more confortable rush-boom civ (thanks ES, I really appreciate this), btw don't mess with ashigarus, they are fine

Dutch got balanced, i'm agree with their changes.

ES, please, for the sake of what you love more than anything else in this earth, can you do something about Brits?? I mean, please, don't tell me that the age3 politian will give us 7 LB's instead 5 LB's and two pikes and then say that is an improvement. Come on, you can do it better than that!!

Maybe its good idea to give farms travois if u age up with Tribal Wise Woman

But some ideas here
what about if u give same percent as it was
10% colonial
15%fortress
20%industrial
25%imperial
but increasment is not from basepercent but from total value;

or

increasment is from basepercent but starting percents are bigger something like that
20% colonial
25% fortress
30% industrial
35% imperial

in this way beginning boost is good and Aztecs dont run out of gold in lategame too

 

 

Some other idea

what about if Sioux and Aztecs get some unitdance upgrade for dogsoldier and skullknigth because theese units training time is ok in beginning but in late game they will become very expencive in villager seconds
maybe something like that
training time is same but u get 2 units instead of one. or 3 units but training time is 1,5 times as it was

 

Hey all I anticipate I'm not an expert and I don't want to be flamed but I'm a Mono-Sioux player since twc came out, so I should have got a quite clear idea of what sioux are. I know that Sioux began lame with the last patches but this nerf, IMHO,  makes Sioux lose their main features that made them interesting. I'm okay with wakina cost nerf, they were lame, I could be ok with dance nerf (even if it hurts a lot), but the only thing I really don't agree is the warchief nerf. We all know that sioux a warchief based civ and with this change cavalry will no longer be so fast as sioux needed to run away from other cavalry (I don't remember exact numbers but with some upgrades other civs cavalry should reach warchief speed).

So if we consider globally the poor economy and the lack of walls, fortresses and cannons, I think that sioux could become UP or, worse, a non-interesting civ because of too few unique features. I think that if this patch comes out I'll not use Sioux any more, not because I want the OP civ to win (I could have used irocs or china when they were respectively in their OP period), but because I want to have fun with a civ I like, with some strengths and some vulnerabilites, not just a common-abilities civ

 

When is this going to be released its been 10 days since announced!!!

Hi all. First of all i would like to tell that thi spach is so pretty and it let balanced many civ. TNX all for tha good job!! :) Second thing is a little question. Many units r going to be funny and ottoman eco finally is balanced with indipendence of xp training from the TP. But what about janisary? Many units r going to be improved a nd jannys seem to stand steel. The idea is that if all units improved (but no jans) = jans nerfed lol. My personal opinion is that the only card to improve janny could be upgraded in a little % so who wants to give a little jans power can do it but he has to spend a card. Actually jans (after patch) will be too expensive relationship his real power. TNX all!! peace and love.

anything about bufixes yet? (HERD BUG)

pretty please?

I agree with you goodspeed, but I don't think were gonna hear anything about bug fixes until right before the patch releases

i dont like the fact that cassador's uniqueness has been negated somewhat - that was one of the big draws of playing as ports IMHO
