The designer buffing Teuton in the wrong way.

Although it is a infantry civil, they have good infantry, good siege weapons(they only miss ram) Paladin without speed upgrade, weak archers but handcannoner.

Teuton knight is already a great unit as they slain every “common” melee unit except elephant, range units are the only counter.(exclude special unit like Byza cata) Buff their pierce armor or pierce armor will make them too good.

The critical problem for Teuton is the light Calvary a technology, and then Skirmisher.

Expensive unit combine with cheap unit is common strategy, lower cost shorter preparing time, trash may sacrifice to reduce the lost. Weaker skirmisher and Calvary.

In Imperial age, Light Calvary is a important unit as it of the best choice for killing range unit and raiding.

Without light Calvary, Teuton may only use knights, onager or bombard on range unit. Both of them are expensive and vulnerable to certain units. It often lead Teuton to lose.

Nerf Truton knight back back to 1.0c,give them basic light calvery maybe a better direction.
