I just LOATH people "criticiseing" ideas w/o even reading them properly: "...will be hilariously broken..."

I never said, that just "giving" them that ability "just like that" was a good idea. I said something about rebalancing.

Read before posting ignorant nonsense!

Also. Paladins have many counters, way more than they used to have, when the Franks werte first balanced (base game, 20 years back) - including the Halberdier, Including the much improved camel line.

Noone back then was really complaining about them being overpowered, yet, all the new changes rolled in and kept rolling in, w/o the Franks ever being revisited for rebalancing them (a fate many of the original civs share).

And then there was the 20 extra hp that other civs could soon research for their paladins, that Franks didn't even get access to. Paladins are their sole signature feature (throwing axemen don't cut it), and they really don't stand out more than 12 meager HP out of 192 (vs. 180); that's 1/16th of the total health pool, which, in many encounters, doesn't even make a difference, as it doesn't matter, if you have -15hp or -3hp (vs. fully upgraded Halbs) at the end of an enemy attack (the higher HP becomes window dressing in some of these encounters); your unit is dead either way. And to me, the faster creation time does squat to offset that, as it is useful only in a very narrow window. Most of the time, when you have the economy to spam production of costly units, you should have the resources to build a few more stables, anyway. -- and even then I never said, that making the Frankish Paladin stronger again, would not warrant some rebalancing of franks in other areas.

Same with the Halbs-thingy. I never said that they should just throw that in and leave it at that, ffs!

Your comment is just ignorant all across the board, StraightEdge. You are a waste of time! All I hear from you is blind, thoughtless wining about nothing to be changed about any of this, just rejecting the idea out of pure petty minded stupidity.
