Would an "All Techs" civ be any good?
What if I told you that I'd give you every tech but take away every civilization bonus and unique tech? Would you take that trade?

    The system starts players at 1000 ELO because it assumes they're average. Even though new players are predictably below average. And 1000 ELO isn't the average anymore. The video has reasonable points, but may I suggest treating the whole new player population like a virtual player? If new players systematically lose their first few games, starting ELOs should be adjusted down for the entire population. If new players systematically win their first few matches, starting ELOs should be adjusted up.

    1:34 It could be argued that the reason why the plumed archer has higher armor than the crossbowman, despite the latter wearing a breastplate, is thanks to the Ichcahuipilli, a gambeson-like jacket made of interwoven layers of dense cotton over an inch thick. The fabric armor was capable of absorbing the impact energy of even bullets and some Conquistadors would even discard their own plate armor in favor of the Ichcahuipilli, as it was easier to maintain and wear in the hot, humid environment. That said, the armor is more associated with the Aztec.

    The castle age Indian mill should theoretically work nonetheless because the force acting on the inside of the semicylindrical sail is greater than the force acting on the outside of the semicylindrical sail, therefore you have a greater force on one side of the mill than on the other. This is very nearly how modern vertical wind turbines also look (some are additionally helical to make the stresses more constant and less cyclical), just without the whole arch and two-sided bearing thing, they're usually free-standing.

    @highdefinist9697 День тому

    The developer team should consider implementing a civ like that for some kind of temporary special event, for example have it available for two weeks... it would be interesting to see what would happen. Personally, I believe it will do a bit better than the video implies, for two reasons: - Since an All-Tech-Civ has a large amount of reasonable unit combos to choose from, the other side has to invest more into scouting to determine what is actually happening. Also, the All-Tech-Civ will be able to make an ok counter to basically everything the other side has. So, it is both quite adaptive and quite unpredictable - It also might be more straightforward to play, since you "simply" have everything available, so it might do better than usual on a lower skill rating The lack of dark age bonuses will still prevent it from doing really well, but ultimately, I would not expect it to have a below average win rate.

  • @keithklassen5320
    @keithklassen5320 День тому

    The Indian windmill before castellation, just like the American windmills, would not work as shown. *However*, the Indian windmill *after* castellation would indeed work. The curvature of the sails introduces that imbalance you mentioned. There are common wind decorations that use this principle. I don't know if it would be strong enough to do much work, but it definitely would spin reliably in wind, and has the advantage of being equally pushed by wind from any direction, without needing to be moved.

  • @jadekaiser7840
    @jadekaiser7840 День тому

    I feel like the unique unit would probably fit best as something that can take advantage of the wide open tech tree. You mentioned Arambai being potentially good because they would get access to extra upgrades (due to being a hybrid cav/archer unit), so maybe something like that. Or even something that gets like a small extra HP bonus or something for every blacksmith upgrade researched, even ones that don't otherwise affect them. Something that turns the breadth advantage into a depth one, basically.

  • @Chris-jl6vp
    @Chris-jl6vp 2 дні тому

    I’ll say civ bonuses are more Valuable than lots of techs. More techs means more resources spent on them, meanwhile a civ’s bonus can get drastically better from simply aging up.

  • @TweedleDeeAoe
    @TweedleDeeAoe 2 дні тому

    I think the analysis should have focused more on the unique unit. Some UU are purposely missing certain upgrades, so having all techs makes them dominant: Chakrams with blast furnace, Arambai with all defenses, composite bowmen with thumb ring. Also, I think elephant archers with all upgrades and heresy become quite good too.

  • @kOaMaster2
    @kOaMaster2 2 дні тому

    With All Techs only UUs can make a difference, so let's have a look at UUs that would profit: - Huskarl (+last armour) - wouldn't make a big difference as 8+2 already keeps all PA reduced to 1 except some very few exceptions like Mangudai and +3 instead of +2 armour won't help much - Composite Bowman gets Thumbring - doesn't make a huge difference but still something - Coustillier gets Bloodlines, that's actually a pretty good one - Arambai get a lot of additional armour (will end up at 3/6) - Gurjara with Chakram Thrower will have +2 attack, this is again a big game changer (8 vs 6 melee is in many cases double or triple the damage!) - Ghulam gets +2 armour and would become somewhat like a huskarl - Persian Elephants get heresy ;) However the overall winner in my opinion: Cumans Kipchaks with All Tech could be really strong in the late game as even missing Bracer they aren't a bad choice currently and do not benefit really from any upgrade. Also, the cav speed bonus will be replaced again with husbandry, so they end up being "just" 5% slower than currently. At #2 I would put Gurjara and #3 Arambai, I would rate range units in general better than melee.

    I think it's weak. It means that the civ has nothing strong, you could make ideal unit combo but your eco is slower than average eco civ, while you can't mirror the unit they are basically weak. (No bonus, must rely blacksmiths) And you have no castle unit. You need to use full upgrade say archer or siege to finish the opponent. (Write before finish the video)

      well , i misunderstood sth, i was thinking a 'all tech' civs against normal civs and i'm wrong about the castle unit part. Tho, having something new to play is fun at least, it feels like 'all techs' 1v1 would be very skillful, like mirror matchup but not 100%
