Their entire culture is just raiding and raiding. And they are not even good Nomadic culture

I can talk for hours, if I leave something, feel free to mention it

Real Nomads were traders, merchants, hunters and herders. Dothraki seem to know a bit of herding and bit of hunting, but their main economic income is raiding and enslaving

What do they do with gold they get from Slavers? They don't buy shit, they are aversed to trading.

And yet they toggle godmode and avoid things like enemy hits or fortresses. I refuse to believe they can pose threat to anything more formidable than my defense! For fucks sakes, they are based on cultures that have mastered horse archery, yet they refuse to be disciplined, refuse to wear anything more formidable than sheep rags. The only adversary they face is bunch of shepherds who can't fight back

And How do they threaten cities when they don't have siege weapons? When Tatars came to Hungary, they were winning, but once they returned, they got a big punch into their faces thanks to the constant building of fortifications in kingdom of Hungary

If Dothraki were put into our world, especially the world of middle ages, they would barely hold any piece of grass, they would have been wiped out from existence

Yesterday I posted Tlaxcallans. Now its Tarascans

I will be honest, I am terrible historian. I was just thinking about it from game perspective and I worry I made it too OP, even for my tastes

This is just copy from my notes I was writing when I was gone on vacation, watching whatever I could and then coming up with my civs for AOE2

I wanted to add some Eastern European naval civ so I decided to add them. Estonian military history isn't my cup of tea, the only things I found is that Oeselian islands were full of Vikings and sea-fairers and Danish played heavily in the influence, so there's that.

THE ONLY CASTLE UNIQUE UNIT that costs wood and food. No, Magyar Huszar costs gold until you research the tech. This one can switch to melee anytime, but if you get close to it in order to attack it, he will automatically switch to it.)

>UNIQUE UNIT 2: Danish Crusader(Cavalry unit, trainable from stables, who can march across water. Sort of like Nagas from WC3, but instead this one can't fight on water, and is vulnerable in swimming state(Let me put it like this: Arbalester would need to bring Elite one down).

If you're curious, neither unit is based on any historical record, I just needed to add new units for the sake of adding them.

Note: This is not my image, this is from Wiki.

Before you get angry that i'm not always using the proper names, sorry. I'm going with colors

Here are my decisions

1. Born of Fire - Saving two villages = more resources at the start of each game. Killing red Raja = red player will take extra time to attack you in the next scenario
2. The Digvijaya - Having to pick a reward for liberating Green player. Either Light cavalry or Elephant archers.
3. Hand of a Princess = Arriving sooner = you will gain extra twenty years in next scenario
4. The Fate of India = Slaughtering monks or sparing them. Next scenario you can start with extra monk or extra gold

I wrote this during my trip in the woods, so i'm going to post stuff like this. While Berbers and Saracens may represent conquerors of Spain. Andalusians represent Muslims who lived in Spain by the time of Great Reconquista. I call them "Middle Eastern" because of Architecture

Sequel to the post here

Before you post comment: I DON'T WANT TO HEAR "PLS DO THIS AREA" or "WE HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS CIV"
