Hi,
Extreme Civ bonuses is what makes RoR stand out. You have interesting civilizations.
All civs are usefull, depending on the settings.It works very well.
Iron Age DM is very well. Nerf all the things you want in Bronze but keep everything like it is in Iron.
Nerfing Chariot Archers will weaken lots of civ in DM.
Sure Hittites is a carry civ in Iron DM but they still lose in many instances.
You will never have good balance with that many civs.
Still I'm impressed with what you are able to do with the patch.
But trust me, balance changes are poisonous for a community of players playing this game for 15 years. I would never play a patch with Cho legions nerfed.
On the other hand, I don't feel cheated when you buff units. Always buff. Never Nerf. Cataphracts need a huge buff. The only nerf that Hittites can sustain without destroying its character is removing cents upgrade and alchemy.
You will never have a realistic game with helepolis firing precision balistic missiles that do no friendly fire.
Catas have scouting abilities. Makes the gameplay better. Imagine having a catapult without 2 viewing range?
