The civ is quite stone heavy, so this could be nice. Also it could help justify going for late game compositions and not being forced to make mercs to feel competitive. 6 minutes ago, chrstgtr said: Sounds like it would be easy to forget about and wouldn’t drive gameplay. I would go bigger (eg, do it for metal and wood too but maybe that is too similar to Mace) Well one other thing we did in historical with their CS (and a few other civs too) they are weaker fighters, but gather resources 5% faster. The idea the citizens are more equipt to gather the resources needed for the empire and then they use metal to buy the merc (some food to feed them too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have to pay for the mace techs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also balance concerns. Just saying that I don’t think an auto upgrade for stone is going to make any one phase any faster, which kind of defeats the purpose of the bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercanaries had no loyalty to carth it self, so if they weren't geting paid or felt things were going horrible wrong in battle they would jsut desert. Brett Devereaux (the acoup guy, aka the Orcs Logistics Guy) says that this idea comes from a bad translation from Polybius (I think ?) who meant that the carthaginians soldiers were paid instead of being citizens. But that most of them were levies, not mercenaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
