Cool civ team bonus combos

[vinme]

Write civ team bonus combos you think are strong.
I like iber, mace, athen, gaul for example, for the mace player specifically as merc cav get affected by 10% cheaper iber jav passive, athen lets cheaper p2 and gaul gives faster/cheaper blacksmith techs. 
another good one can be carthage, mace, athen, and maybe a 4th. 
for standard, sparta, pers, rome, athen sounds good.  just boost in power/eco.

For a fun time, carth, iber, kush, and gauls.

it makes for an epic p2 push with clubmen and the infantry javelins mercs. If the carth and kush player are the same side, it’s really awesome.

the 3 is good. iber gives bonus to both, carth gives bonus to kush. and ig kush bonus helps carth as well.
if carth and kush atack together, carth can use the ele 20% for self and team dmg ele hero with large range. 

i dont think gaul is best ally. athen can be better. besides the op civ bonus it can make jav mercs and hero gives jav mercs 15% move speed. athen can even mine metal and feed merc civ allies, as athen gets 21% total metal rate bonus on p3 and 10% on p2. 
other civs can also do infantry javelineer mercs. pto, mace.

another one i just thought of is involving elephants. mauria, kush, sele, and a 4th i havent thought of. athen is always solid ofc, its bonus is most op with the community mod change.

honestly athen bonus needs to be nerfed i think. maybe by 30%, and athen as a civ needs buff. re introduce stoas, p2 champs.

A lot of the other civs are receiving new content and balance changes, so Athens will probably seem less strong as a result. Technically they already have p2 champs, its just they are very hard to unlock.

They will get a unique p2 hero hippocrates, which is like a much weaker version of the Maury healer hero. In addition, their spearmen can promote directly to champions with xp, so that could be very strong.

Athens works doubly here since both phasing up and getting the hoplite tradition is faster. I'd say gauls would be a good 4th civ since upgrades are cheaper, and melee damage determines how fast they get xp in a fight.

Not about team bonus, but Mauryas + Kushites are great for early cav rush. The Mauryas player rush.
Make Kushite healer accompany the hunting Mauryas elephant -- by healer protecting the ele.
It works great, no need for cavs to heal in cc.
