A 30% price hike is nice for three reasons.
-more price efficient to counter with current units
-rewards those who counter correctly with less countering needed (because the french will run out of money sooner)
-punishes the dirty cuir masser by making it more painful to build 60 cuirs that are countered.
I like this idea.
the 2000 gold to send is good, but i still feel that if you can afford to mass cuirs, 2000 isnt that big of a deal.
I think that a speed increase may also have an undesirably OP effect. i mean look at the dutch halbs with 30% speed, they started countering their counters. 3 pop cuirs that are super fast are going to be even HARDER to defeat with halbs because you wont be able to catch them!

Hmm is there an echo in here? 4th isnt "smack in the middle" if there are 11 civs. The problem is their early game is a little weak and their late game is OP. If ES made it so every civ could cost effectively and consistently beat a 60 imperial gendarme lame i think everyone would be happy. However it has already been announced that thoroughbreds WILL be nerfed, so it looks like es isnt going that route. they will just nerf the one civ, France.
