Worse: listing all nations, one by one, two forumers recently omitted the British, and only them.
How come? Let us see on a first sight.
1. +25% Commerce Cap. Double Income from Taxation, tax upgrades 50% cheaper
2. Ships created 33% faster, one free fishing boat with every new dock
3. Foot archers upgrade for free, a free archer with every barracks, two at Medieval, 3 at Gunpowder.
4. +2 Range for forts and towers
5. Anti-aircraft buildings and units 25% cheaper, built 33% faster.
6. And, and, their unique Long Range Archers (Classical, Medieval, Gunpowder). Also Unique Infantry later and a Unique Bomber, “somewhat inaccurate”
OK, no Map bonus, no Civ bonus, no Cav bonus, no free building, merchant, scout, etc., no immediate and free upgrade. No Rush bonus. You start bare naked.
However, these bonuses are lasting ones. They are not a one-shot story. Sounds real good to me. Later.
