I really have problem with the Sipahi unit in this game. Historically Sipahi was mostly used during the "golden age" of the Ottoman Empire i.e. from 1400s to 1600s .At late 1600s the Empire became more dependent of the Crimea when it came to Cavalary. As far as i know Russia had her "Golden Age" from 1700s to 1800s. So thier Cossacks were most effective then. But in the game both countries gets their UU at the same time. My suggestion is to make the Sipahi unit available earlier when Gunpowder is discovered which means this unit will more historical. And of course the ratings should be lower to reflect its earlier emergence...

I think it best to "bee-line" if you want sipahi early. They are to powerful a unit to appear earlier in the tech tree."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

They are one of the best units in the game if you 'bee-line' it. You will have a fast offensive unit smack in the middle of the middle ages that won't really be surpassed till your first tank comes rolling out.Seemingly Benign

As it is, the Siphai is one of the most powerful UU's in the game (IMO it's the best along with the Numidian Merc)
If you get it with Gunpowder it will be WAAAY to powerful and will seriously unbalance the game to the Ottoman's favor.A true ally stabs you in the front.

Metallurgy?
Well, it would be better than with gunpowder...
Still, I think it's too powerful a unit to be brought back.

I aready edited my game. But its kind of unhistorical to have Sipahi so late in the game. IRL Ottoman Empire was in decline durinng the 1700s, 1800s same time as the Cavalary is in use in the Game.
