Idea: Buff Teutons LOS on Houses
Way back in Age of Kings and Age of Conquerors, Teutons had +5 Line-Of-Sight on their TC. This helped you find your sheep faster.
In 2013, the devs gave this bonus to Chinese and increased it to +7 LOS on their TC to help with the very random Chinese start. Teutons lost their bonus because this was back when two civs could not have the same bonus.
I propose we give Teutons +5 LOS on their houses.
For comparison:
Generic Outpost:
Dark age: 6 tiles
Feudal: 8 tiles
Castle: 10 tiles
Imperial: 12 tiles
Teuton House
Dark age: 6 tiles
Feudal: 6 tiles
Castle: 6 tiles
Imperial: 6 tiles.
Why this change?
Teutons are already strong on closed maps and semi-closed maps. They don't need any buff there. Teutons are weak on open maps and extra vision will make their gameplay more consistent.
"This sounds like an Ethiopian outpost that supports +5 population."
Ethiopians also get +3 Line-of-sight on their outposts on top of removing the stone cost. So Ethiopian outposts still give more vision in every age.
