Ra not getting access to the elephant printer further contributing to his bottom tier status. While it's hilarious to use in campaign/skirmish, it is breaking pvp I guess.
This upgrade is so toxic to the egyptian meta. I think there would have to be some sort of twist to it, but "get a second for free, all the time" is such a nobrainer that it makes Thoth a must pick.
@@Eilandfreier364 Yeah, literally just requires Pharaoh empower, nothing more. No downside even such as the empower train speed bonus getting cancelled out. Something needs to be done here, the cost savings are just too much.
@@Eilandfreier364 I have a problem with the concept of the permanent 2 for 1. No single technology in this game should bring that much of a change to a civ. I would suggest to give the Pharaoh a new ability that has a cooldown, so that he can get the 2 for 1 deal for a short burst only and then swap back automatically to a regular empower. The duration could be maybe a match for 3 war elephant duos, not accounting for the Levy/Conscripts upgrade.
@@NakamuraRTS I just saw you talking about it in your latest Patch analysis video. I think this solution would be very interesting but how would you implement this "temporary efficiency burst" Is it something you would add to pharaos in general and then build a set of different upgrades around this new mechanic. Because otherwise it might make more sense to attach it to the migdol fortress instead of attaching it to the pharao.Just like the Myrmidon autospawn upgrade is attached to the fortress too.

Themista's raiding was on point, I don't think he lost a single villager during that match while clobbering Matador's eco.

@@NakamuraRTS As a professional game designer what change would you try to implement to the upgrade if you could?

@@NakamuraRTS Gotcha, thanks for the reply.
Farming your Elo and farming from his land was a bar lol
Maybe, but he has a 100% win rate so you can't complain
It's a chance to print a 2nd unit, correct? Any idea what that chance is?
It's a chance yes. 100%.
