Hello
I lurk this forum once in a while and I noticed a lot of hate toward bismarck. People seem to think bismarck is among the weak civilizations. Ive never understood why Bismarck had so much hate as I find him to be one of the best civilization of the game if not the best.
Right now Im playing Bismarck on marathon diety and pretty much killing it in a unusual way. I've noticed that my diety games with bismarck are usually easier on diety than the games I play on immortal with another Civ.
Now I finally understand why ; because on marathon speed, getting a 50% chance to get a free unit is MUCH more valuable than it is on normal since a unit take a lot more turn to be trained and last longer before ebing obsolete. Very often with bismarck, ive the same army size than Diety AIs and the army supply limit is always a concern as Bismarck(when barbarians are effectively hunted down).
Since the AI biggest weakness is war and units control, Bismarck is def OP on marathon.
So I think Bismarck's odds of getting free units should change depending of game speed to make it even. He should be buffed on quick and nerfed on marathon.
Any thought ?
