Still think that giving swords shock I is basically forcing them to go Shock II and III so they can get March more easily, making Drill a much harder specialization for melee units. Land-based melee basically become irrelevant as city-takers by the time longswords exist without March and a friendly Medic keeping them healed up as the bash their head against city walls. But they also kind of needed a promotion to make up for the fact that they're probably a bit behind the ancient-era troops you have that got 45 exp against barbarians.
Doubled pantheon for tundra/desert might be a little crazy, but it needed to happen for its irrelevance to wide play.
Really love the England change, I hated getting spammed by spy notifications.
Egypt changes seem a bit out of left field. Now they're basically lategame culture-based? Earlygame Golden Ages are barely long enough to produce the extra hammers required for wonders anyway, it'd require a lot more timing and planning to get what is actually a fairly low bonus considering how short golden ages are, especially earlygame. Seems weird to change what is quintessentially an ancient civilization into what looks like a lategame powerhouse. EDIT: Oh, they're keeping the 20% global, just getting 20% even more during GAs. So they get essentially 60% more hammers towards a wonder with proper timing. Nevermind.
