Faction Bonuses and Unique Units/Buildings

[Squirrel5555]

Time to start thinking about these.

Let's start with England and France

[L4cus]

England
Better ships and marines
Some unique units like puckle gun and longbowmen

France
Better cavalry
Unique revolution infantry

Should we make a classification for quality at every aspect? Something like:
●england
-infantry: good
-artillery: average
-cavalry: average
-ships: excellent
-development(techs): good

And think on especific bonuses like better stats.

Ok
And
●France
infantry: good
Artillery: average
Cavalry: Excellent
Ships: good (because England rules sea)
Development: good
●Spain
Infantry: excellent at start, then good
Artillery: at start good, then average
Cavalry: average
Ships: at start Excellent then good
Development: bad-->at end all bad...

[L4cus]

Okok.
Let's stop right now...
Lets give some values to those "average", "good", etc.
Excelent: +5
Good: +2
Average: +0
Bad: -3
Why is this so important? 'Cause this way we can get balance.
France has 3 "good" + 1 "excellent"
England 2 "good" +1 "excellent"
There is a difference...
Also, some points should be less important than others.
Also, adding another one like deffences should be great...how good are the faction's defensive structures and techs to improve them...

[L4cus]

Let's just focus on england and france for now...spain should wait, since they have more unique units since the very begining (tercios)

And i don't really know about structures...

[L4cus]

I dont like "awfull" capabilities at any aspect...
There shouldnt be a faction that bad at any of them. It would force the player to play in one only way...

[Squirrel5555]

Maybe make Englands end game infantry 'excellent'. They are quite famous for their 'Redcoats'
