    Default Should Saka and Mauryan empire be unplayable?

    A poll!


    Advantages for them being unplayable:
    - Their unit size(s) can be boosted. Such as 45 men for horse-archers which are usually 30
    - They can receive regular economical bonus from buildings, like 500% tax income boost to simulate the power of historical Mauryan Empire.

    Disadvantages:
    - You can't play them

    Having read the poll, I withdraw my no vote and vote yes. Never mind

    It doesn't matter much, RTR Grand Campaign's soon isn't it?

    Well, the horse archer bonus might be good.
    But maybe not 500% tax income bonus, that might be a problem once they get enough cities with the gold they get.

    I agree. 0-cost for upkeep and recruitment of tribal units would be more realistic and maintainable.

    nooooo The high upkeep is the only reason that AI cannot spam huge armies despite of treasury bonus

    Yes but the Saka could send huge armies... just make them take time to recruit and have massive barren regions so there are less places to recruit and we can have new regions elsewhere! Simples

    Can you run the scripts so only the AI can get the money boost?

    Also, for the record, RTR VII-GC is probably not going to happen for awhile.

    Yes. And I'm adding new AI-only building s(damaged for human player) to give more reliable boost!

    I'm not saying make the regions physically bigger I mean "merge" them to have, say, two in the place of three or four in the place of six... no pressure

    oh but we can only have 4 more regions ....... (before merging ExRM's)

    if I skip ExRM map fixes, and take out british - which is currently useless anyway - there will be 4 more regions. Both of Mauryan and Saka need them
