Incas are driving me NUTS!

[Provost Harrison]

But a slinger would just overlap with Archers - we already have the bowman and the javelin thrower now...

[The Slayer]

In that case, the Spearman is also overlapped as you say. We have Spearman, Numidian Merc., Hoplite and the Impi.

So, an extra archer unit mustn't be a problm, I think

The problem is triggering the GA with a UU... I would personally keep the Chasqui Scout the same price as a normal scout, take away it's attack and defense values and give it the ability to treat hills/mountains as grassland. Of course, once could compromise: keep the Chasqui as it is and halve the price.

Those Inca's only want ONE thing don't they. It's their raging hormones. Just don't pay attention to them. They are looking for a reaction from you - good or bad. If they offer to buy you a drink just ignore them and they'll go hit on some other civ...

Another option is to keep the price and stats the same but add in the "enslave" ability.

That would be interesting.

I personally don't see why a lot more units don't have the enslave ability...

you strike again Feephi... very amusing. I also ignore those Inca ho's

I saw those little Incas breed like crazy in a game I played as the Romans last night... seriously... I've never seen an AI REX like that.

Point taken, but what would you do with it? 2/1/2 would be the same as a horseman, 2/2/1 would be the same as Bowmen, 2/2/1 enslave would be the same as javelins. Perhaps 3/1/1 could be interesting, perhaps with an enslave...hmmm...

[Provost Harrison]

...that would probably be too powerful for that stage in the game and completely undermine swordsmen...

[The Slayer]

So, don't give swordmens to the Incas. I live here and I have never read in a book that the Incas used an Sword before

[Yahweh Sabaoth]

A 3/1/1 archer would not be too powerful at all! It would be a godsend, however. Like longbowmen, except earlier in the game. In other words, a swordsman with a lower defense that does not require iron.

Perhaps no enslavement, though. That might overpower it a little.
