Do you really think that the French cuirassier are balanced? OMG!

And the portos best unit get nerfed, rofl.Now I'll play Iroquois, they are very nice with their unit buffs.

And Japan's eco was strong, now it get buffed and t's stronger and I think it will become the best eco in the game. Good Job ES.... and thanks to the noobs who tested the patch.

The problem is that the cuirassiers are an "I-win-button" in late game. The other civs cant stop them and because they have instantspawn you can spam them until your enemy gives up and swears you.

Stop the instantspawn and they can be balanced. 

If I defend until I have a good eco, the Frenchman has also a good eco and spam the cuirassiers.

I don't often play agressive because i dont like a game which takes only 15 min.

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.
 

You didnt understand. NONE CIV has a I-win-button in age 5 or age 2... Every civ must be superably in every age. Just nerf the instantspawn.

EDIT: Why do you talk about a cassa boost? Their range attack get nerfed very hard. 

Pretty good patch. I expect much less laming and more real fun games with lots of age2 fighting. Its pretty much appreciated that you try to cut down the laming aspect a lot :)

At the guy with French Curassier being op. Dont be so nitpicking , there is tons of good changes and Curassiers wont be a huge problem in standard games. For example I dont like that french Coureur De Bois didnt change because if you ever have been CDB rushed and lost to that you are asking yourself is it maybe time to stop playing - lol.

However you need to see the big picture and not knock on minority things which still might need a change. The Big Picture is that games will be more fair more fun and more aggressiv in general which looks like a huge accomplishment to me.

First of all i must say that it's a good patch which will defenitely help to decrease the OPness of some tactics, for example the ERK-Raids or the Russian Fort Spam. Nice job, guys!

But I have some questions about my favourite civ, the ottoman.

-Does the XP trickle rate from the mosque substitute the XP I get with a Tradepost? If yes, this would be a good advantage because I am no more dependent on my tradepost which is often far away from my base and easy to kill.

 
-Furthermore, I hoped for some military support for the ottoman. Janissary are more easy to beat (Xbow-damage against HI increased from 18 to 20), there is still only one upgrade for Hussars (in the 3rd age!) and without the eco-advantage of the silk road it's harder to get enough ressources for many abus guns. So how to beat a Yumi or an Xbow-Spam?
