The Ethiopia UU, the replacement for the Rifleman (can't remember the name atm) has a "bonus" +20% combat power when close to the capital. This bonus decreases the farther away from the capital your unit gets. OR so says the description. Actually this bonus decreases until the bonus is 0%...and then starts to go NEGATIVE! I have units of the UU and GWI that I upgraded from the UU losing to pikemen and lancers and knights and musketmen. And losing BIG TIME. Most of the UUs I have have a base attack strength of like 12, and the GWI that were upgraded from the UU have a base attack strength of like 17.
I checked ALL the other conditions. I am at +20 happy, my enemies have no wonder or anything like that that is decreasing my base attack strength. And as further proof, I just bought a GWI (so it was a GWI that WASN'T upgraded from the UU) and he had the correct attack strength. Also, my cannons, gattling guns, and calvery all have the correct attack strength as well.
So is this a bug or is it working as intended? This seems like a MASSIVE handicap (aka, the UU is TERRIBLE) if its WaI. Thoughts?
