[Uighur_Caesar]

I like that Muhammad Ali design, but do you think there's a better name for the UU? Expeditionary Force makes me think of WW1.

 

[Natan35]

[Kerfuffle]

Not really a split, more so a revision and two other civs tbh (also, Gokturks in a 'Mongolia' split? Er... wut? O_o)

Gökturk Empire:
I feel like the discount on buildings from each social policy you unlock might fight against the bonus of buildings being cheaper after founding a city. Reason being is that this design is encouraging the player to play wide, but the culture penalties you get from settling many cities can hinder social policy acquisition (especially on longer game speeds like epic and marathon). The second part of the UA might help with earning culture but that's still a bit of building and unit maintenance that's required to benefit from it.
I do like the monument replacement though.
With the Iron Cavalry, I don't feel the first part is necessary since if you've signed a defensive pact with someone, chances are that you'll probably be able to get open borders from them very easily anyways. Unless you mean you've signed a peace treaty, then that should be ok to keep in there (though the usefulness is limited unless you plant to scout and go to war again in a very short amount of time).

Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire:
For the Huihui Pao, I feel that doesn't make sense to give it to Genghis Khan, it makes much more sense with Kublai. Also being able to move after attacking is a bit weird since IIRC they're heavy artillery? (Correct me if I'm wrong there). I know you gave it that bonus so that it can keep up with mounted units and the Khan, but it really doesn't suit the unit. Also I see you've taken some ques from my older iterations of a Mongol Revision (namely to do with the pillaging tiles damages cities and free siege unit upon city capture - though to be fair I have moved those from my design and placed them elsewhere. I'm still thinking of shuffling things around though, not 100% sure if I want the ability to damage a City by pillaging tiles to go to the Huns or Mongols).

Kublai's Yuan Dynasty:
The science from the UA may be a tad too much but I haven't done any proper calculations so I'm not sure. For the UB, by stationed in a City do you mean the Trade Route is inactive? Otherwise it's better to phrase it as, "+2 science from active trade routes in this city". Also by "doubled if the city is connected to the capital" to you mean the City has a 'City Connection' to the Capital, or do you mean if it's sending a trade route to the Capital?

 

[Natan35]

1. its suppose to have synergy with the liberty tree... I'm open to suggestions BTW.
2. It refers to treaties in general. That includes peace treaties.
3. Yeah... I wanted Kublai to have a trade/ culture focus so I used it in Genghis Khan's civ. though perhaps a mounted archery unit would've been better.
4. Frankly, I think it doesn't fit any of them too much... Or more correctly, not in this manner. I think this concept should be used in a non direct way, as in it should be tied to another unit/ situation.
5. I guess I'm not receiving too much trade routes in my games My idea was to encourage players to spend time and resources on trade buildings, as opposed to other kinds of infrastructure. And as I said earlier, the culture bit was important for me as well, to represent Chinese cultural development under the Yuan dynasty.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback!!!

 

[Noblesse Oblige]

Wouldn't the Gokturks be closer to...the Ottomans rather than the Mongols? I'd actually expect the Xiongnu instead, or even the Oirats/Northern Yuan.

 

[Natan35]

Han Dynasty(King Wu)
UA: The Han Mandate
Demanding tribute from city states makes them declare war on your enemies, and temporarily boosts your units' strength equal to its population. Gain Protector general points whenever your cities expand into a new tile, doubled from conquered cities.

UU: Protector General
Replaces great general. When stationed in a hostile city state's territory, it will take damage per each unit you have in its territory. Additionally, it has a chance of assimilating the city state to your empire, based on the damage it already took. Units within his range generate +1 food in the nearest city.

UU: Cho Ko Nu
Replaces composite bowman. In addition to being slightly stronger (12 ) it has a 50% combat bonus against mounted units, and generates culture if it kills them.

Tang Dynasty(Wu Zetian)
UA: Imperial Examination
Great works start a WLtKD upon creation and increase great people generation by +1%(doubled during golden ages). Specialists grant +1 Culture during golden ages and +1 GA points otherwise (doubled in cities during WLtKDs).

UB: Dayun Temple
Replaces temple. Though built 10% faster for each religion in the city, it will remove followers of religions other than your own and will initiate a WLtKD upon completion. Contains a monk specialist slot, which grants +1 faith during golden ages (with P&P).

UU: Fubing Troop
Replaces Swordsman, but obsoletes at gunpowder as opposed to steel. To compensate the Fubing troop starts with 15 strength, gaining an additional +3 after metal casting. Grants +1 happiness if stationed on a farm, in addition to granting +1 food from doing that during golden ages.

Song Dynasty(Emperor Xiaozong)
UA: Lighthouse of Knowledge
Gunpowder allows you to see and improve coal, and is freely given to you once you've unlocked all of its prerequisite technologies. Each sea tile increases production of maritime buildings, which grant copies of resources present in their city when complete.

UU: Gun Ship
Replaces frigate. While starting off weaker (22 , 24 ) it's unlocked at astronomy and has the "Sea of fire" promotion, which grants it a 33% bonus against land units, increasing to 50% against those who are stationed on rivers. Additionally, it starts with the bombardment I promotion.

UB: Blast Furnace
Also grants +1 production from copper and coal, unlike the forge it replaces, in addition to having its production bonuses doubled during unit construction. If the city has two or more sources of coal in range, sources of iron will yield +2 production and the furnace will generate +3 culture. Otherwise, it generates +1 culture.

 

[Kerfuffle]

Hrm, I think the City States taking damage from trespassing units should have a cap on it (maybe the maximum amount of damage is 50%?). It'd be really easy to fend off their units whilst camping your units outside of the city's bombardment range, and even then any units with the cover/medic promotion combo would tank it out really easily. The City State would be way too easy to capture/assimilate.

The Military units being able to repair tiles/build farms on conquered tiles part might be better with a UU instead of the UA (IIRC there are issues with assigning improvement related abilities for all available military units across a civ - though I could be entirely wrong on that one ). Maybe it can be given to the Protector General UU since I feel it needs some sort of buff to it since whilst halting loss of influence with a City State is nice, there's not going to be that many Great Generals available (at least early on) to keep tabs on most City States. So something like if the Protector General repairs a tile or builds a farm in conquered territory (or even City State territory where barbarians like to rampage through), adjacent units are healed?

If that ability goes to the UU, the UA would be a bit bare, though in some cases the simplicity would be an advantage. I'm not sure what I'd add to it though since I'm not very knowledgeable on the Chinese Dynasties outside Western Xia and its neighbours

The Blast Furnace may also need a cap on the extra food it can provide, alternatively it can keep the food bonuses but the iron requirement that comes with the regular forge should remain imo.

 

[Natan35]

I implemented some of your suggestions. And well, I moved the Furnace to the song, since I thought that it'd fit them more.

Do you think that the designs are better now?

 

[Natan35]

Ming Dynasty(Yongle Emperor)
UA: Imperial Resurrection
Upon completing a wonder, receive a lump sum of culture for each era you passed. +1 science for each great person consumed in cities who spawned the appropriate type of GP.

UU: Red Turban

UB: Kiln
Replaces stoneworks. Rather than any of the usual effects, it grants a copy of the unique Chinese Porcelain luxury. +1 culture and +1 gold, increasing by +1 after acoustics and economy, respectively.

Qing Dynasty(Qianlong Emperor)
UA: Banner Power
Conquering a city will make its garrison join your army with the "Green army" promotion, and will grant you a chance of capturing units owned by the same civilization (once you've defeated them). Capturing an enemy capital will grant you a free Great general and halt resistance in your empire.

UU: Bannerman
Replaces rifleman. May capture any unit it defeats, with double chance of doing so compared to any other unit. With the "Green Standard" promotion, the Bannerman gains a 20% combat bonus in foreign territory.

UI: Ground- marker
A ground marker may be placed by your units on pillaged\ unimproved resources outside of friendly territory. In addition to connecting the resource its built in to your trade network, it will claim its tile and will grant +1 of any yield possessed by adjacent tiles pillaged to your nearest city. If built within 3 tiles of cities you conquered, it also grants +2 culture and may develop into a town (with CiD).

UU: Red Troop
The red troop greatly differs from the pikeman it replaces: it has a +10% strength bonus if ending the turn on a tile that provides a defence modifier and causes Ground markers to function as citadels in when stationed in them. However, it does not have a bonus against mounted units, gaining +1 movement when starting the then near faster units instead.

UU: Wokou
Replaces Caravel. Aside from upgrading to the Privateer, the Wokou may enter the territory of other civilizations without open borders and may even heal inside it if you send them a trade route. Additionally, it will grant you gold equal to the amount yielded by cargo ships within 2 tiles of it.
