Any ideas? If it is early-mid ancient age it will be devastating.

That would make sense, as Genghis Khan came west around that time.

If I look to the factor 4.2.2, I think it will be an early MiddleAgeUnit. Knight replacement I think.Yours,

I think that they would be exactly the same as knight except one defense less. (reminds you of civ II knight anyonw?) Normally, if uber units wouldn't get any stat increase, it would have to be balanced with cost reduction or no resource req (like elephants). but obviously keshik is a mounted unit and it even gets stat reduction.
This is gonna be one cheap knight... how much are they normally? 40? 50? Keshik might be as cheap as 20 or 30... which means Mass invasion thru keshiks... which would be very effective.:-pComment

But given the... strange combat engine of CivIII, dozens of keshiks would always kill any defending unit, even if it is much more powerful! Sounds unbalancing to my ears...Originally posted by Calc II

ALL the units are getting tweaked (IIRC), so a spearman might not be 1-2-1 anymore, but it probably is

they'll probably tweak stuff like ships and aircraft, IMHO.I'm going to rub some stakes on my face and pour beer on my chest while I listen Guns'nRoses welcome to the jungle and watch porno. Lesbian porno.

The Knight costs 70 Shields at the moment? So a MongolKeshik of 30 Shields will be very lucrative!Originally posted by Calc II

a 4-2-2 unit sounds more like an upgraded Longswordmen (planned 4-2-1) than a knight replacement. The cost cutting would have to be great to make up for the loss of 1 defensive point.
The Celtic unit sounds lilek a powerhouse. 3-2-2 unit with ironworking? A far more powerful unit than any other swordman replacement (get to retreat unlike immortal)If you don't like reality, change it! me
