Genghis Khan's leader agenda currently is, "Likes the civilization with the smallest number of Cavalry units. Dislikes the one with the greatest number of Cavalry units."
In Civ 6, he had a similar agenda that made sense, because they wanted the AI to go after Horse resources in order to help snowball. But in Civ 7, shouldn't he be targeting Civs with less Cavalry than he has? Here's my reasoning:
1) No resource advantage: Having Cavalry in Civ 7 has nothing to do with having Horses. Genghis Khan does not benefit by duking it out with Cavalry-heavy Civs.
2) Gameplay: Cavalry is better at fighting infantry. The AI should go after "weaker" Civs with minimal cavalry to maximize its own strength.
3) History: Genghis Khan was the vanquisher of "civilization" for his time. He had disdain for city-dwellers and respect for nomadic/pastoralists. In my game as Han China, he was my absolute best friend because I had no interest in building cavalry. The same would be true with Persia, his top two regional targets historically. Seems off.
Overall, I haven't noticed him to be particularly aggressive in the one game where I was neighbors with him. What do you all think? Should his agenda stay the same, be swapped, or changed to something else entirely?
